Taylormade R7 Cgb Max Irons Serial Number |TOP|
Lina Gullace
A lot of people say that the serial number (or lack of one) is a good way of telling if a club or set is fake. But having a serial number doesn't necessarily guarantee a club's authenticity, though, right???
So, say I go to the TM website and input the serial number that I find on my driver. If the serial number was "doctored" and the club is a fake, what happens when I try to register? Does it say "thank you for registering"? or will a message pop up that says that "you've been screwed!" or something like that???
But my question is in regards to TaylorMade's club registration system. If I have a serial number that is fake, will the registration system notify me as to whether the serial number is an authentic one?
I've read that the people at Taylormade will tell you that even if your serial number matches you can still have a counterfeit because they (counterfeiters) will go to shops and get real numbers then put them on the counterfeits. I don't think Taylormade does NO serial numbers even for their tour equipment like Titleist but Titleist isn't counterfeited as much as TM. If a TM club is a tour club the serial starts with a T and has a capital B etched into it. The only real way of knowing is to take the club apart to look for the inverted cone but, of course, that would mean your club would no longer be one piece.
I really don't think the registration will tell you either way unless there are too many numbers or something else obvious. Just my opinion though. You would have to ask taylormade to really know how the registration process works.
TM definitely has a screwy serial number system. I bought a 1st Ed. Superquad TP a little over a year ago and had a weight come loose in the head. Because of this, there was a horrible rattle so I had my pro call them about it. The claimed my driver must be a fake because they didn't have the serial number in their system, but said to send it in anyway. The club was sent back to them roughly 5 weeks ago and I was finally contacted this past Wednesday and was told they'll be sending me a replacement club because mine turned out to be real. You would think they'd keep the serial number system in better order than this, as it shouldn't have taken 5 weeks to figure out whether or not a club was real or fake. I am happy that they'll be sending me another club, they're looking for Superquad heads (hopefully they'll only find a 282) and if that doesn't pan out, I'll probably be recieving a Supertri TP. I'm just frustrated with the system at this point, hopefully this doesn't end up happening to any of you

They should, and frankly I'll be a little upset if they don't, as the 1st Edition All Black Superquad sold for something like $800 brand new back in the day. They only made a couple thousand of them, hence the high price, so I'm expecting something top of the line in return since they're replacing my expensive, somewhat rare driver

Sorry J Gilbert, but really this is how you feel about TM and your 1st Ed Superquad? Sure, the serial number issue I can understand some, But......
Let's get serious here,
Your Head was released in 2007 correct? So this means it is 4 years old and your complaining about their service on replacing a 4 year old head? Really? And your still complaining after they are going to replace it for free! Really?
Sorry, but your so called "$800 limited, only made a couple of thousand and rare" comments just floor me. Know what you are talking about before you get upset at TM and post this type of stuff on this site. That driver can be had new for $250 of even much lower. Used can be had for $150 or less. Who care what you paid for it 4 years ago, plus come on.......you paid $800 for it? LOL If you did pay this amount, shame on you.
Name any other type of goods that you bought and it is replaced for "free" after a 4 years time frame.....Let's see, Clothing? No Car? No,
Food? No, TV? No, Cell Phone? No, PC, No.......Oh, but you can tell us all what TM "should" be doing for you to keep you happy.
It's rare that I make comments like these, but I would feel lucky to have a 4 year old item replaced for free and would be singing praise about the people who took care of me wether or not it was 2 weeks or 6 weeks or even longer for that matter.

I agree 100%, somebody brought this back from the dead lol, it was from may 2010
Just called Taylormade to verify the serial number for my Rocketballz Tour TS 13* 3 Wood Stiff Flex ... I gave the guy the serial number and he told me exactly what I had (kinda cool), but he also said what was mentioned earlier in this post, that counterfitters are getting smarter and going into golf shops and obtaining numbers to duplicate. I guess it is what it is, so now I'm going to go hit the hell out of it and if I don't do very well, I'll blame the counterfitters ; )
I saw the TM number posted, and recently had a pocket of my adidas golf bag tear at the seams. On a whim I asked if they could check to see if the serial number of my r11 3-wood was in their system. He double and triple checked, but couldn't find it. Can't really believe it. The shaft it came with had an RBZ sleeve with it that seemed a bit more difficult to get tightened up, but it was my first FCT club so I had no clue.
Can anybody shed some light on the Taylormade Speedblade irons i just received from an ebay seller - they have project X flighted 95 shafts in them and the serial #'s are not consistant thru out the set - every # is differant - Please help thanks

That's typical of TM, as far as I know. I bought my Rocketbladez Tour irons from Dick's, and the serial numbers were different throughout. If you go to the website, they'll tell you that the serial number that counts is the 7 iron (5 in older TM sets). I am pretty sure that their system matches up all the other serial numbers with that one in their DB. Not sure why they would do it that way, but they do.
Hi everyone I need some help quick, I have a chance to by a set of Taylormade p7TW irons tomorrow for really good price they are 3/pw s400 shafts, but no box. I need help with how to tell if they are genuine or not, should I ask for the serial numbers and what else should I look out for if anyone can help that would be great thanks ?
Here are a few pictures what do you think, they are not new, but supposed to be mint from a guy on Facebook. He did not buy them from new. Question is there any dead give aways, ie should they have a serial number on each head or just one thanks.
Thats a strange one regarding the serial numbers, because I spoke to Taylormade uk yesterday about this and I was told some will have It on just two of the irons and some sets will have it stamped on all of them. So it does very.
Yes your probably wright. Just picked them up, they are mint with all the serial numbers. Got to be the best result of the year, works out about $460 here are a few pictures if anyone is interested, thanks for all you guys responses and help.
Thank You BirdieBob for the detailed info and explanation. The same guy has now advertised another P7TW iron set with different shafts but the same serial number and the add above. First add here and second add here. Same serial number.
When asked about the box and letter, the seller said - "They are bought overstock so the serial number might not be registered with TaylorMade. But they are genuine. Shafts grips and head. All authentic and the same exact weight and specs."
