Ping Rapture Iron set Golf Club

Rapture Irons are awesome. The only problem is that there are SEVERAL FAKES sold on eBay and they do nothing about it. Here are a couple of ways to spot a fake. First and foremost ask the seller for the serial number that appears on the hosel of every set of Raptures that Ping manufactures. If he trys to tell you he won't because of some BS excuse, then NO DEAL PERIOD! This number is specific to that set and no other. Once armed with this information call Ping and verify that the serial number is valid. They can tell you the exact set make-up, color code, shaft, flex, length, grip and date they were made. Another less complicated method is to look at the head. Some of the FAKES I've seen have a GREEN Tungsten weight in the toe. This is a dead give-away that they are fake. Ping Raptures are very expensive and good deals on NEW irons are usually not that good. One last thing, if you come across a set of FAKES, turn the jerk in to eBay. Maybe they will start doing something about the crooks that are everywhere on their site or at least stop someone from being taken by some jerk with a computer.....By the way, PING only sells to someone with a legitimate Ping Account!!! I've seen more crap about how a buddy purchased them in an overseas factory at a DEAL. This simple isn't TRUE!!!
The Crooks have also gotten to where they will put a serial number on the clubs. If you call Ping Golf and verify that the number is legitimate, you will find that it may be in their database, however the specs that are tied to that number are different than the specs on the irons being sold. BEWARE!!!
