These new FAKE TITLEIST VOKEY WEDGES look AMAZING!



We bought a FAKE TITLEIST VOKEY Wedge so you don’t have too…

***THESE WEDGES LOOK UNBELIEVABLE, BEWARE!***

I’M NOT POSTING A LINK AS I DON’T APPROVE OF FAKE GOLF EQUIPMENT.

In today’s video we’re at www.golfrepairs4u.co.uk with MASTER FITTER Sam Smith to take an in-depth look at a fake TITLEIST SM9 Vokey Wedge bought off ALI EXPRESS.

At first glance, these wedges look incredible, and I’m sure they would fool 90% of golfers!

Let’s put this fake wedge to the test in an in depth look at specs, in a head to head test with a real wedge!

[Applause] welcome back to the channel guys today joining us with Sam Smith golf at golf repairs for you and we’re going to have a look at this fake sm9 wedge because I think Sam this could fall through the net for a lot of people I mean if we

Wanted to be scammers and resell these on Facebook on on eBay I think these could fall through the that on the UK Market yeah definitely and I think that’s why we’re doing this video it’s not because we’re suggesting you go and buy these things off AliExpress but we

Want you to be aware that there will be people buying them and reselling them at 60 70 you thinking you’ve got a bargain but actually we’re going to get we’re going to delve into it aren’t we yeah so we’re going to have a look we’re going

To check you know all the other specs as well we check the L line make sure that’s right compared with swing weight um you know even shaft there’s loads of stuff we can kind of check and just see if anything stands out really and compare it against a real one yeah you

Know have a look at the spin and look at the you know the numbers and how it feels and yeah give you some feedback really should we get stuck here yeah take yes we’re going to check the Loft and line now obviously you know make sure it’s actually what it says it is

It’s meant to be 58° L was standard should be 64 um so yeah we’re just going to see if it actually does read that I think the only thing is even if it is H I wouldn’t recommend bending it CU it uh there’s a chance it could snap because if it’s not

A genuine one like I said it’s the material is going to be way firmer you know bending V is generally are fine um so that’s have a lot fairness 58 yeah L angles out so you look here meant to be 64 4 and it’s C up at just over

66 so yeah it’s like basically 2° up when it’s meant to be kind an offer shelf product but yeah Loft spot on but yeah Ling was out already I mean that’s a surprise for me yeah they’ve even got the Loft right I mean I said that’s probably the main thing no offense to

Some Brands but sometimes they can’t even get it right yeah true like said yeah like I said if you’d have done obviously with your sm9 had a bit of use already so we can’t really say that that might have changed potential over re time is slightly out but yeah I think at

Least for L’s right but yeah like I said L was already to up and I won’t even want to recommend touching that I mean shall we do it at the end I don’t mind yeah if you don’t mind snapping it it might be all right but

Yeah I think we’ll see if it actually bends yeah I think subscribers will want to see that yeah we’ll give it a go what about L then yeah we’ll have a good length um we’ll get the specs up on the screen I think but um I believe LS 35 in

As standard right so yeah 60 yeah so 35 is meant to be standard so let’s take a look yeah even that’s a b 34 and three quarters yeah so again so it’s like quarter an inch short two up which is a bit weird Weir spe um and yeah I think I

Said for your purpose that’s half an inch longer as well for Gary you know being his own wedge um so we’ll bear that in mind but yeah bear in mind that’s meant to be off of shelf standard L standard lights definitely not the only thing that’s right the minutes for

L which is probably maybe one of the main things I think the main thing now is to just look at how it performs is it yeah I mean I do swing we while we’re even here but um again it’s what should the swing weight be uh D2 I think D2 is

Normally standard yeah that’s very light straight away it’s think about C seven and a half so again doesn’t save a swing weight on tyus website I’m sure it’s about D2 D maximum maybe D3 for a wedge but yeah again that’s very light yeah it definitely

Would be in the C’s would it no no definitely nothing’s ever sees but a men’s club um so yeah either D2 or D3 is meant to be standard so that’s definitely a lot lighter and actually in wedges if you were going to have your wedge like fitted way you’d actually

Want it heavier yeah cuz again a lot of people say when you go heavy you kind of get that better Tempo when it’s a bit light you sure to kind of feel it yeah so yeah a lot of people do go a bit heavier in wedges so yeah it’s

Definitely not suspect you’d probably W anyway is that is that a bit because the shaft’s shorter as well yeah I mean it’s only every half inch is free swing points so you only go one and a half so it still be what C9 yeah um so still be

A little bit light anyway even if you were fortunate enough to get the right Sha length it’s still be too light yeah like I think it’s again the head weight must be a bit lighter you again the Sha it says it’s for sm9 wedge Flex which is

Normally DN old s200 is the mill face cuz I I think I don’t think he is is it uh no no so the different the big big bomb Shaler is in between the grooves on the real wedge I mean I’ll show you m it’s a bit dirty I’m a bit embarrassed

But there’s actually that laser Milling in between the grooves like three laser Mills yeah there’s definitely nothing there there’s no Milling in that face yeah so again I think it’s just just a cheaper head so head weight is just going to be a bit lighter I think

But yeah we’ll see how it performs should we have a look so should we like five shots we each wage from 50 yards yeah and then full shot i’ say and then five full shots about 100 yards now bear in mind I’ve had this wed about six

Months so that will have the groes will have worn a little bit so yeah in terms of numbers it wouldn’t surprise us in a way if that spawn at Tad more you want to just check the on that just to cut out any like discrepancies yeah again CU

If it say it’s 57 for example it’s going to spin a bit lower so yeah we’ll check it has been used so we’ll just double check it like I said I won’t alter anything at the minute un you can crank it up for me can’t you

If it’s wrong yeah we can you can definitely do that see yeah like right we Ling was 64 tell yeah L 57 57 yeah is it so yeah I will I’ll bend that one degree weeker just to have a fair test um nothing we checked it really I tell you what it

Just shows you the value in actually coming to these places doesn’t it yeah someone has asked me Sam if if they wanted to book in with you like for a full bag check what what is the sort of cost yeah you can do full bagot so

That’s £50 for an hour and a half and it’s just going for everything so just checking like yeah you know you would set up if you need any different settings on the adapters or you know if the shaft is out we see we’ll check numbers of everything irons we check

Kind of again shaft wise Loft and lies yeah um just a general I think that’s a great exercise for anybody who’s you know Keen to play the best golf this season it’s just a b Che did you see the post I did a few days ago no I missed someone came in um

Got fitted for his ey and I 23 is half inch longer yeah um I can’t say where he’s gone but he’s gone to somewhere else but he said your lamps aren’t right you need to be back to standard never even saw him hit shots yeah um so I

Don’t know how you can say it to start with he’s then cut them down for him again not told about in terms of Swing way what it can really do in fact the kind of balance so you cut him down didn’t even cut him down correctly yeah

He cut him down shorter than standard and then he put 77 G midsize grips on so I’ve checked his 79 it was C4 wow and he was like he was wondering why he couldn’t get on with his I thought I was struggling at C9 then as soon as I gave

Him a a pxg same profile had same Loft same shaft but half inch longer than normal swing weight he did like eight yards further because he was just casting it because there was nothing there he was just kind of leading that way and then straight away his ball

Flight dropped his ball speed went up he weren’t pulling it left yeah like I said um in the end he’s booked him for another fit he’s having P I think because he just lost all trust for him yeah um so yeah you need to make sure that if you going somewhere and having

Any alterations people should mention the swing weight cuz it can well it’s like me my ping are up for sale which is a shame because I like the I 230s but you know and so if he can’t get where he need to be you’re just putting a

Band-Aid on it really you’re not kind of fixing them in the correct way um y so that’s fine so that’s back to 58 am I safe here Gary yeah you probably are safe know you better Move we keep getting a bit of stick off subscribers but there’s nowhere else for Sam to stand um at light’s right it seems bright or is that normal corre yeah we all right right so 50 yards yes see my distance controls like not bad right so five with a fake one first

Impression guess first impression I can feel it’s shorter but you know obviously that’s my preferences to have a bit longer Sha but I’m surprised how good that grip feels for a fake grip yeah um it actually feels hate to say this cuz gol PR won’t like me but it actually

Feels really good yeah so they’ve done well at copying that because it feels a bit lighter as well yeah it certainly feels lighter yeah um let e one I’m I’m kind of someone who ask it a bol to gear more info God can’t say I could feel much difference so

Qui actual feel of it you know like connection wise between ball and Club yeah I didn’t think oh that’s hard or it sounds different did did you think it sound any different you see a spin it what it’s absolutely ripped has it yeah well it shouldn’t be shouldn’t be

Performing this well should it well in theory is not genuine it shouldn’t spin as well so that’s where they kind of go with technology in a wedge it’s more you know creating as much spin as you can that’s a bit too hard I think couple of

Yards what’s it doing to ball yeah good point oh wow you’re not to like that that a brand that were a brand new packet sleeve it’s ripped it up that’s to be fair that’s proper look at State at ball though what it’s done to ball I don’t if you can see that on

Camera that’s show the closeup of that that’s absolutely Taun ball up Al didn’t check the ball after to the sm9 but you can see it’s spinning I’m sorry my wedges do not do that to golf balls it’s a brand new wedge like some residue on face there for 50 yards that’s mental full

Shot yeah I say full shot anything over 10, and full shot were your wedge fitting would it could it be illegal that’s yeah that’s another conversation isn’t it all the grooves non-conforming grooves and that’s the thing yeah cuz have they purposely stop it at one bounds have they purposely

Done non-conforming grooves to kind of make it play a bit Yeah more realistic do you think they’re actually getting quite smart they’ actually know they’re not think so they’re not going to manufacture a milon CU it’s expensive so instead they’re just going deeper with the just gone deeper yeah that’s

Shocking that and like I said it’s great having a wedge that spins but if you’re using a you know going for a brand new prob every round every round I’ve only five shots 75 patches just the pitch is just past it’s fine you know you can carry 80 yards still pitch on yeah Moment of truth I think this could even cut a Molitor up yeah this going be interesting I think anybody who were to buy these off like AliExpress are probably going to be using them sort of balls aren’t they you know like budget yeah you’d think so not

Going to be buying provies at three pound a ball or four pound a ball I mean it felt good Sam which is worrying really is it yes that didn’t spin as much as the all that oh that might have gone a little bit further it’s not too

Bad I mean usually when I’m switching between clubs I can give a lot of feed feedback but it feels that similar to mine that I just can’t yeah what what what what are you thinking I think main difference it just a spin it’s all over is it it’s a bit

Inconsistent striking do seem you think that’s because it’s not got the mill in your face that it’s not as there’s something that yeah weirdly I don’t think it spins any more than 50 yards which definitely shouldn’t be the case that’s what we saw so yeah weirdly 50rs that’s SP way more

U but again you can see it’s such a big variance yeah it’s nearly double is it yeah and yeah that’s high anyway like said wedges I think can be a bit more varied than say like an iron or a driver yeah um obviously again dispersion could

Just be you hit and one Tad shorter so that’s a bit irrelevant but like I said you know you look at individual shots which what we were seeing um yeah were like so that was a weird one it was like 87 like really high then 67 that’s

About as expected then it went to 45 then to 97 then 82 yeah so yeah like I said again you could argue maybe strike but it shouldn’t really fluctuate that much yeah like I said launch was a bit flatter which you could tell as well ball speed a bit

Quicker a bit irrelevant um but yeah like I said it spin wise definitely is average way higher um so let’s look why do you think this 3° difference on when that’s again sounds dff you know CU it you can’t we we’ll get a address position

But you know cuz it goes in a bit weired like the fake one it like goes inward I don’t I don’t know if that’s affecting kind of Kink yeah I don’t know if that’s changing kind of how it comes into the ball let just point to it D just on camera so

This bit here it’s almost like it’s got like a little bit of an offset of King yeah so say 7619 I bet this isn’t much different on full shot you think it’ll increase oh yeah it’s like the same yeah so that’s why it was weird it was like

That did as expected you hit it harder it creates a lot more spin but the Fate One didn’t really do anything and again look at the difference in variation that’s what you could kind of see that’s a big variation look well yeah it just came off a bit

Weird um even though some shots were getting lows of spin it was just again too inconsistent again you look at kind of full shots um yeah I think there’s another 4,500 in there so four F yeah so it’s like 4 6 75 8 9 9 83 so a bit more consistent there

But again you had kind of that shot with a 50 the odd one where all of a sudden it kind of you hit it on a different part of the face maybe but if you look at the real yeah it’s way more consistent it’s like the lowest is 84

The a is 92 I mean you’ve got 4 six to nine ain’t you yeah and again even if you took that out that’s still a bit of a variance but you kind of had that with a 50 yard whether you’ve hit it somewhere on the phas where it just

Didn’t spin as much um yeah definitely interesting like I said you then bring them all in I said it’s basically identical from hitting it what 25 yards further as an average yeah you can see what it should do it should go up about 3,000 revs not 100 yeah um so yeah it’s definitely

Interesting I mean where’s that ball just to yeah again dur again durability oh wow look at this Jesus just look at that on it you would not be happy with that absolutely chewed up you are Su ball yeah I do well I I know we’ve hit

The real one as well but the real one I don’t think would have done that no chance no chance I mean destroy you’ve seen I play with I play with like late balls Sam that was like a fresh not saying I won’t play with that I won’t even play with that like

FR 20 shots ago that’s mental that’s mental it isn’t it so I think in conclusion Sam as you know as much as it seems a bargain on the you know Forefront of things actually when you delve into it it’s it’s probably not so much of a bargain yeah like I said it’s

For me it’s just how much spin fluctuates basically you know any especially a brand new wedge there shouldn’t be any fluctuation I get it if it’s a bit worn but you shouldn’t be getting that with a brand new freshh wedge there’s a lot of people you know

Quite quite a few videos now on fake equipment a lot of people saying that they think that these are real seconds and they’re not are they no you can tell they’re different they’re just fake guys you know let’s let’s let’s be really I think even feral is a bit shorter than

Yeah the feral shorter it’s nothing things like that t wouldn’t allow that to get on the market you know it’s just impossible um but just be aware guys when you’re buying second hand because there’s you know there’s no doubt that there’ll be some of these kicking about

UK came Market people who are buying them to resell yeah I mean if I wanted to be you know a bit of a knob I could stick that on Facebook for 60 quid and quite easily sell it because it looks and that’s I think if that was a bit

More used again it wouldn’t be as recognizable because it’s brand new fresh it stands out a bit more in terms of the differences but I think if you had 20 rounds under your belt with that I think would really be able to tell properly that’s a very good point that

Would fall through a lot of Nets in tradings would it shops and stuff like that but yeah save money on balls as well you go now guys I you hope you’ve enjoyed that video today that’s a real review of a fake Golf Club we’ve got plenty more to come me and Sam we’re

  1. I'm still no clearer as to how you could identify the real from a fake if they were both on a shelf of a 2nd hand shop going for the same price..
    What are the characteristics of a real wedge that you could pinpoint and say, see that's how you know a real Vokey wedge!

  2. on the surface, I'd say that with a Vokey or other "name brand" you are paying for the product, and also for the engineering /research/development it took to make the final product (oh yeah, and a bit for marketing too). With a copy, you are only paying for the cost of manufacturing. The manufacturer of the copy does not have to figure out that they need to use 430 carbon steel, or which grind works best, That is all done by the name-brand guys, for a quality copy all they need is to use the same specs, or close and pump them out. if they are less concerned with matching the original specs, and they only care about the look of the copy (which is the case many times) its even easier for them. of course, there are other issues surrounding copies, including legal, ethical…..

  3. They're definitely worth the price. I'm sure a 2nd hand wedge at that price the grooves are going to be close to finished. Definitely better performance from let's say a slazenger wedge

  4. I’m going to have to give you a follow. I’ve seen you quite a bit golfing with your buddy. A few of your videos have popped up in my feed and I’ve enjoyed. So if I enjoy this video as well. You have a new subscriber. I’m sure I’ll enjoy so I’m taking the chance on subscribing before I watch. Don’t let me down haha.
