$300 TAYLORMADE RAC OS ‘CHINA COUNTERFEIT’ - BUYER BEWARE
No these are not my clubs . I only measured each club for consistency over a complete set.
I check the quality level of a $300 TaylorMade RAC OS [Counterfeit] iron set from China.
All 12 shafts were graphite TAYLORMADE R5 SERIES M.A.S2 60, R FLEX [again Counterfeit].
12 clubs, plus all of the accessories [staff bag, shoe bag, head covers, etc.].
The guy who owns them looked real good on the course with his buddies, and he has few dollars invested.
Only a few minor problems to report:
Ø The 4-Iron [24.5° loft] hits longer than does the 3-Iron [29.0° loft]
Note: The 3-Iron will probably break if adjusted for loft to factory specifications
Ø The S-Wedge [51.5° loft] hits a similar distance to the matching 9-iron [51.0° loft]
Ø The 9-Iron is off on lie angle by a full 4.0°, which will greatly impact directional control
Ø A full 5.0 swingweight point spread between the 4-Iron [C8.9] vs. the 7-Iron [D3.9]
Ø Other problems highlighted – refer to the attached file
He also reported he hits the 3 woods [driver + fairway metals] real good but the 5-Wood is a
little short on distance compared to its 3-Metal counterpart. The driver has good distance and control.
Pertaining to this set of counterfeit TM RAC OS irons [3 to SW], a total of
17 of 45 specifications are out of tolerance, for a defect rate of 37.8% or 377,778 ppm.
Now the $42 question … how might these irons actually play?
The owner is entering his 2nd season playing these counterfeit clubs, results of which Increased HIS Stroke Aveage by 10 .
This set will yield significant yardage gap discrepancies club-to-club. % Error [dispersion] will be huge if tested on a mechanical robot. He went from low 90’s to low 100’s after putting this TaylorMade Counterfeit
set into play.
Buyer Beware. If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is
