We recently had someone try to sell us a counterfeit Scotty Cameron putter and we decided to post some pictures to help everyone out.  This particular model came out in 2008 and is the Studio Select Newport 2.

While counterfeit clubs are getting better in quality, it is still pretty easy to spot the counterfeit when comparing side by side with an authentic club.

The problem is that most of the time you will not have an authentic club to compare it to.  If it is a newer model club that is still available in stores, you should take it to an authorized retailer so you can compare them side by side.  If your putter is a different model, search around Google to see if you can find pictures of a counterfeit like yours.

We received a counterfeit Titleist MB 710 iron set today and happen to have a set of the real thing to compare them to. Unfortunately the real set we had did not have the original grips, so we couldn’t compare the grips, but look at our posting for the counterfeit AP2 irons and that should help. Below are some comparison pictures as well as a few of the differences pointed out.
