  Counterfeit Clubs - How to inspect your clubs.
Review created: 08/27/06

283 of 293 people found this review helpful.

I was scammed as other reviewers, got a full refund on selling price, but ended up eating $80 in shipping costs after a return. You might be able to tell clones from authentic by carefully inspecting the photos before you buy. Beware photos that are not close up of the clubface or out of focus. Unfortunately, many sellers use stock photos which are misleading and you should beware. If you have already bought clubs, inspect them carefully and consider contacting Callaway for an official inspection if you have any doubts.

I do not pretend to know everything about these clubs or pretend to represent Callaway by any means, but I could tell my clubs were fakes by the following points:

1.) The clubs felt heavy - probably a different swing weight.
2.) The serial number was only nine digits and Callaway uses ten.
3.) The serial number did not check out with Callaway (you can call them through their website and they are very helpful).
4.) The real fusions have a visible seam near the perimeter of the club face where the titanium face is plasma welded to the body. The fakes do not. This may not apply to wide sole fusions which are welded in a different location.
5.) The real fusions do not have numbering on the club face itself.
6.) The numbering on the sole of the clubface was a different font.
7.) The shaft logo reads "RCH System 75" instead of "RCH System 75i"
8.) The shaft logo was sloppy on some clubs.
9.) The shafts were not charcoal grey in color.
10.) The grips had a strong odor of rubber and were not of original quality.

I did not give up the search for fusion irons after this, my first ebay buying disaster. I bought two authentic used sets from big ebay sellers and am very happy. Used clubs are probably less likely to be fakes than New clubs. Buy and bid carefully.

  Fusion irons, S Uniflex. Most playable irons ever.
Review created: 07/18/06

I posted a review for these clubs under "single club" because I was searching for an 'A' wedge. Since most reviews here seem to be for ebay problems, I figured I'd include my full review for the Fusion iron set I bought a while back. I got the used clubs (BTW, genuine Callaways) at a very good price from a very good local golf company but have seen them at close to this price at auction on ebay.

I look for technology that can help improve my iron game regardless of cosmetics or workability.

I look for clubs that do what they 1) are suppose to do as advertised, 2) are a good value and 3) may have been overlooked in the overwhelming glare of the Big Company's advertising.

The Callway Fusion Irons fit the first parameter and fit it better than any iron I have ever used.

Parameter 2? If you buy 'em retail, they just simply cost way too much...and in my opinion, the cost has less to do with R&D, production and materials than with the high cost of marketing. The cost would be a dealbreaker if not for used club sales and ebay. I got my 3-PW set, practically mint, for $475 -- essentially what you'd pay for a relatively good set of OTCTMT (Other-Than-Callaway/TaylorMade/Titleist) irons.

Parameter 3 didn't figure in either...obviously, Callaway products cannot be considered overlooked.

I have been playing Wilson Deep Red II distance Irons. I would have happily still be playing them because they are simply the best Overlooked/Under marketed/Underpriced clubs ever made. My plan was to just keep playing them unless something came along that was a LOT better. I am a mid-handicapper (9.0 -- 12.0 depending on how much I practice and how the short game's going) and the Wilson' simply allowed me to hit the ball with long, mid, and short irons straight and long -- not bad qualities in an iron!. What they don't do is spin the ball much or provide a lot of feel for touch shots. The Wilson's have some distance gaps, but they are manageable. Also, the large head size can make some
lies a bit tough.

The Fusion irons, on the other hand, have none of the drawbacks. Cosmetically, they are nice albeit high-tech looking. At address they are more traditional looking with a topline much thinner than you may expect from Cally.

Thry're accurate, as long as the Wilsons (7 iron= 160) and incredibly forgiving without sacrificing feel. There is adequate feedback to tell exactly where on the face the ball was struck, but mis-hits are handled nicely. There is very little loss of distance or line. You can hit them high, low, knock 'em down and lean on them. Play a fade or draw, but don't expect a lot of cut or hookage.

The long irons are easier to hit than the Wilsons -- and that says a lot. NO club I've ever played had easier to hit long irons. The feel, distance and control are consistant throughout the set.

My shafts are uniflex steels, and your milage may vary -- I've hit Fusions with S-300 shafts and they were a bit longer, but also a bit heavier.

The short irons and wedge are real confidence boosters, and it's easy to pick a target and just go.

I've played (in addition to the Wilsons) Ping ISI and I-3+ Blades, Mizuno MP-32's and have experienced various TaylorMade RAC configurations and must say that, for my game, the Fusions are by far the best fit.

  Are the clubs your buying real?
Review created: 11/29/06

37 of 40 people found this review helpful.

First off I have used these clubs before and they are great. I am writing this not to say how great the clubs are, I wanted to inform people of the many fakes found on ebay. I bought these clubs that said they were brand new Callaway Fusions 3-sw at a great price. The price was a little too good $500 brand new Buy it Now. Well at first I thought they might be fake but because of the sellers great feedback I decided to bid anyways. Well first mistake was the stock photo used, watch out for those. Make sure you ask seller for the S/N # found on the eight iron. Then contact Callaway at 1-800-588-9836 and give them the S/N #. They will tell you if they are fake or not. The Callaway rep also informed me that the are having a big problem with fakes and that callaway's replacement policy only works if you buy in a autherized store. Also protect yourself by using paypal. They should cover up to a $1000. This review is from my own experience and I hope it helps.

  Beware of Counterfeit Big Bertha Fusion Wide Sole Irons
Review created: 05/28/07(updated 05/30/07)
22 of 22 people found this review helpful.

My brother and I are avid golfers, and very recently (late last week), I purchased for him a set of Callaway Fusion Wide-Sole irons through eBay. At a cost of $630.00 U.S. or $680.00 Cdn., I thought it was a good deal, considering the fact that they are around $1300.00 in the golf stores. After purchasing, my brother read the reviews in this forum and saw that there was a lot of counterfeit clubs going around on eBay, so he asked me to check with the seller. I did, and the seller (who has a 100% all positive feedback) told me that they are genuine, and I asked if he was sure and he said that's what the rep told him, who sold him the clubs. Thankfully, I read some good tips on here to prepare me for what to do when the clubs arrived. But it appears as if that was not necessary.

The seller emailed me yesterday and said after his own golf outing, he tested his own set of Fusion Wide Sole irons that he got from the sales rep, and found that his club failed the magnet test (magnets will stick to clubface of the fake clubs, whereas the real clubs are made of tungsten/titanium and magnets will not stick ot the clubface. The seller was quite upset that he was had, and offered me a full refund + shipping. I guess I'm not terribly upset since I figured it may have been a possibility, but still, the whole thing was a bit of a waste of time. My brother is now buying the clubs at full price at Golf Town, and I get the sense that he may not have me buy any more clubs for him on eBay, and I can't blame him (though I still buy clubs individually from certain reputable eBay golf stores that have been in operation for a while now and I've dealt with them before). After this experience, I want to offer some suggestions to anyone who buys Fusion Wide Sold irons on eBay (especially brand new ones, as these were - they were all sealed and even came in a Callaway box). The seller told me that when he brought the fakes to Golftown, they had a hard time distingushing the fakes from the real ones - but the magnet test is the big giveaway.

1) Try to find out where they came from, especially if they are brand new, sealed in the box. If they did not come from Callaway or an authorized dealer, I'd be a bit suspicious.

2) Have the seller do the magnet test on the clubface. If it sticks, don't buy the clubs - they are fake. This is the number one thing you should have the seller do before you buy the clubs. If the seller will not perform this test, that's probably not a good sign and I'd recommend that you avoid the transaction.

3) Golftown and other retail stores sells the Fusion wide-sole irons as a 3 - PW set. The brand new ones you see on eBay are generally 3 - SW. That's probably a giveaway as well that it may not be a legit set.

4) If someone is selling multiple fusion wide-sold iron sets for very cheap, it's probably a tell-tale sign that they are fake. Callaway is known to enforce their retail prices, so if someone is selling sets over and over again like that for really cheap, they are either fake or stolen.

5) Having a serial number doesn't mean anything. But in any event, Callaways have 10 digit serial numbers. Fakes may have 9 or 11. Beware.

Hope that helps.

  Beware of counterfeits
Review created: 08/07/06
by:
20 of 22 people found this review helpful.

I bought a full set that came with the SW on Ebay at a fantastic deal from a relatively new Ebayer. The seller looked suspicious since he was selling the same exact like set multiple times, advertising it as slightly used. When I received the set (looked new all in nice packaging), I thoroughly checked it out and took it to a local golf shop to compare. Did not check out. The shaft was too flimsy. The serial number etching was somewhat messy. The quality of the club head was inferior. All in all, the deal was too good to be true. Lucky for me, the seller was offering a 7 day money back policy and he honored it. I paid via paypal and refund was fully refunded back to me via paypal. Before buying anything, check on the sellers previous listings to check on suspicious activity. He may be selling off counterfeit sets multiple times. I found that usually, these sellers list the item as a one day listing.

  Beware of counterfeit Callaway Fusion irons
Review created: 07/09/06
14 of 18 people found this review helpful.

I believe I need to write this review for the sake of those who intend to purchase Callaway Fusion irons on EBay. I recently bought a set of Fusion Irons which cost $720.00. I sent the clubs to Callaway Golf Co. to adjust them to 2 degrees upright. After about 3 weeks of waiting, I called the state distributor as to why my clubs were taking so long to be adjusted. They had just received the clubs from Callaway and they informed me of the shocking news that they were counterfeits! I'm still trying to get my money back from the seller through Paypal but I'm pessimistic about getting anything. Furthermore, I don't get compensated from Paypal at all since the clubs were sent to me even though they were deemed counterfeits. While Callaway gave me no feedback as to how they deemed them to be counterfeits, I can say that in retrospect, the clubs felt extremely heavy and the serial number on the 8 iron was sloppily stamped (not laser etched). Nevertheless, I would not have accused the seller of selling counterfeits if I had not sent them to Callaway Golf for adjustments. So beware when bidding>

I'm 50 and have always played with blade irons, minimal offset, steel shafts with stiff flex. Still shoot high 70's - low 80's but needed clubs I could play once a week without practicing too much. Bought the fusion irons 3-LW in RCH regular flex. LOVE THESE CLUBS. Solid hits feel as good as forged irons and they are a good club longer then the Titleist blades I was playing. These clubs don't look exactly like blades at address but it's very close. They fly high and straight--can't really work em like I used to be able to with the blades but straight ain't too bad !! I would recommend these clubs to players of all skill levels.

I purchased these clubs because they were recommended in golf mag (the set of irons to have for 10/20 handicapper),I find that they hit it higher and 10 yds further than my DCI Titelist. I don't like that the club face scratches easliy.

Terrible experience with this one. I thought I have a good deal and Ebay is generally isreliable. I enjoyed Ebaying for a long time. This one was an exceptional. IF you are looking for New Callaway Fusion Iron Set, check followings before you commit yourself to but it. Do NOT BUT if it does not have 1) reserve price, 2)PayPal pay, 3) feedback from multiple buyers, not sellers, 4) shows generic picture only. Ask him to set up PayPal first.

This is not a fair review of the product Callaway Big Bertha Fusion clubs because the clubs that I bought was a knock off of a Callaway product. They were made in China which I did not know from the listing on e-bay. The price was good but I am not sure if I will use these clubs.
When I contacted Callaway they informed me that such clubs made in China are not registered with Callaway.
As you instructed I will not go into details on how this purchase took place but I think e-bay should be a bit more cautious when you list sellers from China and the like.

  callaway wide sole irons - not authentic
Review created: 12/15/06
11 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Purchased a set on ebay and once I received them I could tell right away they were fake but you have to look very close. Some of the tell tell signs are:
1) The grip which is marked Winn had a very strong odor and were made of rubber - Winn does not make a rubber grip and this was not the stock grip that real callaway's have.
2) The color of the top of the iron was inconsistent and when compared with a real set from a reputable callaway dealer the color wasn't even close.
3) The "wide sole" inset and black inset in back of the iron the seams, were jagged and the epoxy was bumpy which is unlike real ones which are quite smooth and the epozy is inlaid perfectly.

  FAKE CALLAWAY BIG BERTHA FUSION IRON SET

The package that was delivered to me came directly from Shanghai China with address Biconvex convexo-convexo(w)SH Trading Co. Ltd. Room 706 No 798 Yang Chang Rd 2000072,www.goditem.com, which I doubt if it even exist. The item is FAKE!!!! A KNOCK OFF!!!! I can't even send it back because the mailing cost to Shanghai is very expensive. A fusion is made up of (2)two materials fused together. The one sent to me is not and the COLOR IS GREEN. The engraved text of the word CALLAWAY ARE ALL CROOKED. It is really FAKE. When I bid, the seller's name is in US not in China and the pictures shown were that of a fusion set. Up to now I am still trying to provide documentation to my credit card company for refund since I've got a protection against these kind of transactions. E-bay pulled the item the list after the bidding has ended and informed me after 3 hours and I have already paid for the item at that time.

Review created: 12/21/06

I purchased Fusion Wide Sole which the weight and the iron wasn't mooded nicely and it had a sticker saying pass with some chinese symbols next to it. I called Callaway and they asked me for the serial number on the eight iron. The serial number did existed but it didn't match the shaft. The serial was for a regular shaft but i had stiff flex. The callaway employee told me to take it to a callaway retail store which there wasn't any near me. So they sent me a UPS label which i sent them all (They ask you if you want to send one or all of them). They checked it out and gave me a call saying that it was all authentic. Oh by the way people, they don't charge you for the check up, they only charge you if you want something else done to the clubs.

PS. rmercial, i couldn't send this to you by response. It won't let me send it to you becasue you have it blocked or something so i just wrote it here.

First off, the REAL clubs are phenomenal. However...
I am going to simply make a recommendation to all EBAY users out there. This set has been counterfeited by so many chinese companies overseas that I strongly encourage you to purchase these from a REGISTERED CALLAWAY DISTRIBUTOR. They truly are duplicated more than any other club on the market today, it seems. Call Callaway for more info. Also, if you really want this set, my recommendation is to go to Callaway's pre-owned site that can be found off the link on www.callawaygolf.com. I got duped and got my money back, and got a new set from Callaway for THE SAME PRICE!!!
Plain and simply, do some research on this product and talk to Callaway before making ANY online purchases. Don't be a victim.

I've played with about 20 different sets of irons in last 16 years (TaylorMades, Mizunos, Wilsons, Cobras, McGregor, Daiwa, Yamaha, Lynx, Tommy Armour, Callaways-Big Berth 96, X-12, Hawkeye, X-18, Fusion, Fusion wide sole). I always seem to come back to Callaways. I finally found my club - Fusion!! Looks clean at adress like a players club but has plenty of game improvements feature built in. I also like the fact that the head isn't huge and unwieldy. I like it better than the Fusion wide sole because the head isn't too big like the wide sole. Regular flex isn't too whippy and can work the ball if I want to. Great clubs!!

I Like the look and the way Callaway built into the Fusion set. I did try a demo and hitting quite good with it.In additon, I read a lot of reviews that gave high remarks of these clubs therefore I decide to buy it.
Unfortunately, when I received the product, I noticed the size and the quality does not look like a genuine product from Callaway. I went to authorized dealer to compare and it indeed was imitation. I felt very dissapointed then I returned it next day to the seller for a full refund. My advise to ebay buyers to examine the product authenticity before you keep it. It's your right!

These clubs are very easy to control and hit. The Fusion Irons relays feedback to your finger tips with every contact with the ball. These irons are extremely long and straight and seem to compensate for any mis-hits. These clubs are well suited to both low and high handicaped players. If you want to lower your scores and enjoy the game more, invest in a set of Fusion Irons and you wont regret it.
