    I bought the TaylorMade P7TW from AliExpress and have been playing them for 2 months. All I can say is that I like them, even if they are fake they seem to fit my swing really well. As long as the feel is there, the price tag dosent matter.
    Looking forward for a reshafting video :)

      I play regularly with an old Ryder cup captain, he said to me in the early 2000’s he had visited a factory in China in that made clubs for most of the major manufacturers, he forecast a disaster waiting to happen. He was confident that copies and end of line run offs would find their way onto the market. He had raised this with his club sponsor, they said they were monitoring things, but to compete that had to use Chinese manufacturers as the cost was so low. Trouble is, copy-writes are not recognised in China, faking is a national business. Look at electric cars, the manufactured most of the major brands, now within a few years, they make more of their own brands and are flooding the west with cheap subsidised product. Golf club manufacturers are clearly making enough money to risk Chinese manufacturer, but watch this space for a mega Chinese brand any day soon

    A friend of mine bought a set of clone T200's and the shaft flex was softer than a L flex. He asked me to check into reshafting since he liked the heads. I noticed that the shafts are .395, not .370 or .355

    I bought the 790,s phantoms in black 4 to sw with KBS stiff graphite shafts for 253.00 6 months ago and they seem fantastic. Not had them checked loft and lie and only used at the range. Shafts are stiff not like yours. At the same time I bought a TM Stealth 2 driver with Tensei tm50 stiff flex for 119.00. The shaft on that is like your 770 pw so shafts play a big gamble on these selling sites. Because I had to wait over a month for the driver, I bought a genuine Stealth 2+ and put a Ventus tr 5s shaft in. Hit balls at range with genuine club then swapped heads and the difference was minimal to me.

    Main brands have to do the RnD on products , advertising, sponsorship, support and backup . BUT I do think there is an element of price gouging going on. They could sell the equipment cheaper but why would they, it’s like anything equestrian the market has money and they want it. For those not fortunate to be able to pay for fitting and £1500 iron sets then I can see the attraction and the results certainly suggest it’ll be better value . But without the RND there wouldn’t be sets like this.

  • @andyfrizzell4352

    • @garymartingolf
