If you go on holiday and buy a fake lacoste polo well whatever everyone's got a word i'm joking i'm joking [Music] another question for them rick um again from our facebook group who are provided lots of content today.
She wasn't. For them we would be snookered um it's from ryan barker i like this one when looking to buy a set of used golf clubs what is the first thing you should look. For other than just the overall condition i think certainly irons that we talked about than just irons. Or goggles have you set so i presume she said set means more ions really just spec like look out. For are the clubs longer are they shorter are they massively different in lie angle are the shafts super super stiff. And that's not what you need i think anything that really stands out as being totally off the wall. And different like let's let's say for example paul sturges our good friend seven foot seven and a half inches right he's just got some new ping guys let's say and he decides to sell his old ones on golfbidder right golfbidder we'll put him online brand new you know set of ping irons seven out of ten condition blah blah blah but lower down well not lower down in the description not trying to hide it but in the description it'll say these clubs are bloody longs yes that's what does actually say very very very very long yeah they used to own to used to belong to paul sturgis the tallest golfer in the world avoid buying. But like something like that would be impossible to adjust yeah really. For the for the most majority of people if you are seven foot six inches. And a quarter go ahead go and buy them they'll suit you but i think if you are just a standard sized man. Or woman and you're looking for a set of clubs condition yes price yes spec is something you really need to watch out. For yeah i think i uh yeah good advice i think. For me another thing to look at and it kind of comes into condition but is have a look at things like the grips because if you got two sets of irons that are the same model roughly the same condition generally whatever. And one has some kind of semi battered golf pride grips on yeah. And the other one have been re-gripped what looked like quite recently like a nice multi-compound that's a eight pound fifty grip grip times up by eight or by seven you're getting actually a much better deal um and just a quick one on grip as well going back to spec make sure you're looking at clubs that aren't like jumbo sides grips if you don't want them to be jumbo sized grips. For example yeah that's there's loads of people now selling like secondhand clubs on like facebook's a big one obviously ebay has been going. For years there's other things to look for as well it's not as common but like counterfeit products we've done that video with the taylormade fake drive if you've not seen that it's quite an old video now but go have a look on the channel just type in fake tilting the second biggest video on the channel because people are. So intrigued about fake versus real that's it one the performance the looks the sound but you know at the end of the day i'm sure recently there was a raid on a warehouse somewhere where they um uh what's the what's the word confiscated loads of fake golf clubs. And literally warehouse was just floods of taylormade drivers ping ions. Or what look like those irons but they're obviously not the faces that's the thing like some people which is up to them might wear like fake designer clothing because you get the logo. And the untrained eye or the people in the street it looks genuine and if that's your kind of thing i kind of not that you should wear fake stuff not buy it because it might um fund what's criminal organizations but whatever like if you're going to holiday. And buy a fake lacoste poll well whatever everyone's got a word to live in i'm joking i'm joking um like if you go to hot on holiday by a fatal cost polo show whatever it looks like a la cost polo yeah we wanted to get to performance wise it won't be as probably as soft it might last a lot of wash as well. But whatever with fake golf products certainly with metals drivers three woods the performance as we've proven is horrendous. And even with the putter you really you might think of putters the one that's going to be the least effect. And you could argue it is. But scotty cameron might be normally like three degrees aloft a fake one could be like seven so oh it could be minus one on the weighting distribution exactly the angle the length of it and stuff so it's kind of all around it's going to be a negative effect on your game. So if it looks too good to be true and it's brand new then.
It probably is too good to be true this article says nearly 10 000 counterfeit golf clubs seized in china such from brands that look like zexio titleist taylormade pxg callaway ping right the quality of the finish to a lot of them now is very good i'll be honest. And and like we had that fake emphasis and m5 it was m6 on six it wasn't adjustable sure it was an m6 now you could take the shaft out because that's what ended up breaking in the end yeah. But it wasn't adjustable in a sense of the weight no you couldn't it was an m6 yeah um it looked. So similar to it in so many ways and to a lot of people if you've given the fake one you wouldn't know was fake in 2020 the largest largest counterfeit golf equipment raid ever seized 120 000 pieces of fake golf equipment wow partly due to the video that i did apparently that's what it says in this article thanks to it it's like down down to top youtuber the mafia is coming after rick now. For boston 120 000 i do feel like i'll get a horse in my head one day five horse in your head i was in your bed [Music].
