Counterfeit Update: TaylorMade SuperQuad 460
01 March 2010
Here is another example of how good then counterfeiters are getting. The
counterfeit here is on the right - but as you can see there are very few differences
between he two. The main difference that you'll notice is the amount of scratches
on the sole of the counterfeit. This just show the poor quality of the paint
that the counterfeiters use.
One of the more alarming differences is shown in the image below. The 12
gram weight that was in the club only weighed 10 grams. Enough to make a fair
bit of difference when the balls is 300 yards down the fairway!

Counterfeit Update: Big Bertha 2007 Fairway
24 February 2010
Here is another counterfeit that has been sniffed out by our operations team.
The genuine Callaway Big Bertha in the image is on the right hand side but as
you can see there is very little difference between the two. The only real noticeable
difference is in the paint work. The red on the genuine is deeper than the one
on the fake. There is also a slight difference in the path that the paint follows
- it is more rounded on the counterfeit.
As always if you're unsure about any clubs that you may have please our pros
would be happy to take a look for you.

New Cross Sell Categories
17 February 2010
Here at Golfbidder we're always working to give our users the best experience
when buying selling and part-exchanging their golf clubs. As a result we have
been working tirelessly on re-categorising the soft-goods page. This page is
now far easier to navigate with the major categories being broken down into
smaller segments. One of the major changes is that gloves and clothes are now
categorised by size. This will allow our users to view our entire range in their
size instead of having to navigate to each category individually - a shop by
size instead of style mentality!

Counterfeit Update - R7 CGB irons
10 February 2010
Here we have what appears to be a pair of TaylorMade R7 CGB irons. However
this is not the case. The counterfeit club in this example is on the right.
With a closer look at the ferrules shows that the fake has too large a gap between
the chrome bands. Another detail that the crooks failed to get correct is the
surrounds of the weights area. The original TaylorMade version has a very high
quality finish with a double step down to where the heel weights rest, not found
on the cheap imitation. The logo on the counterfeit model also has a lower quality
finish with less defined edges.

New Callaway Tour iZ and iS Balls
8 February 2010
Welcome back on this cold Monday morning! To help with those Monday Blues
here are the new TOur iS and TOur iZ balls from Callaway.
It's no secret that the new groove rules instituted by the USGA are designed
to reduce spin off wedges and short irons, placing more of a premium on shot-making.
The Tour iZ and iS golf balls are the softest 4-piece Callaway Tour ball ever
and feature refined HEX Aerodynamics for a stronger ball flight and more distance
by reducing drag and promoting efficient ball flight in all wind conditions.

Luke Donald Signs New Mizuno Deal
1 February 2010
Luke Donald extended a long standing equipment relationship by signing a
new multi-year agreement with Japanese manufacturer Mizuno. The contract is
Luke Donald's third with Mizuno, ensuring he enters his prime competitive years
with the equipment brand used since his amateur days.
After a successful recovery from a wrist injury last season, Donald took
some time to evaluate all aspects of his game and made some changes, including
bringing in a new caddy, having previously partnered exclusively with his brother
Christian. However, the changes did not extend to the equipment that Donald
has come to rely upon as an important part of his formula for success.

Counterfeit Update - Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball
20 January 2010
Although they are not as popular as irons or drivers to the counterfeits
we still apply the same test to each putter that comes through the Golfbidder
doors. As you can probably tell that this Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball did not
pass! The first and most obvious flaw in this counterfeit is the face - especially
the insert. Another area where the counterfeiters have missed the detail is
on the heel. As you can see on the genuine article (right) is the Odyssey logo
is there for all to see.
Your putter is the most sensitive club in your bag so the danger of counterfeit
clubs not performing like they should is more critical here than anywhere else.
Don’t let the crooks cheat you out of your money and then shots when you come
to use their product.
