I've hit the Ci7. Good clubs, but I didn't like the feel. Never hit the Cobras, but the Nippons are my favorite shaft by far. If you get the Nippons, realize they play soft to flex. Get them in stiff.

Nice clubs, both of them.

If you can, hit both into at least a net and get a feel for them, then decide.

Fake would be my guess, although a little late for your purposes.

well, settled for Cobra, 5 to PW only, that's why it is cheaper, almost USD 400 for the steel shafts.

Can it be fake for this type of price?

I believe most clubs made in China, so freighting to Hong Kong can be cheaper compare, back to US.

Its a gamble. Post some pics once you get them, we have a few eyes around here that can help.

The price sounds about right for fake and legit.

Oh, and if you find them to be fake, contact Cobra(Titliest) immediately, as well as the shaft company.
