IT’S A SCAM!? Don’t Be FOOLED Buying FAKE GOLF BALLS!

BE CAREFUL! FAKE TAYLORMADE GOLF BALLS!

This could be a lesson for all of us be very cautious as to where you buy your golf balls however on man is James Robinson welcome back to this Channel today we’re talking about some golf balls which I’m going to be honest seem very very special so spot

The odd one out Chris can you spot the odd one out for us here at all potentially so this is the TA made genuine touris spon strap golf ball it’s my ball of choice this year and last year and I absolutely love it I love the feedback you get I love the performance

It’s a three-piece Ure theme ball it’s brilliant these I got given to a friend of mine Gary Martin cheers guys and he bought them from AliExpress now he’s tested these I’ll put a link to his channel below but we’re going to test them out on the golf course where I

Believe it truly counts um and they called super ning um and they’re also soft threepiece now we’re going to judge that as well cuz I’ve not seen anyone actually cut these open and see because first of all soft I’m not quite believing that if we just test how soft that sounds in relation

To totally different sound this isn’t Europe cover I guarantee it because it was that a scientific test that was a scientific test and the hypothesis is this is bull so guys we’re going to test them out on the golf course we’re going to talk some balls we’ve been in the

Studio testing these as well which is very interesting to make sure you don’t go anywhere but first of all um Chris what color would you like I’m going to go Waterfront orange orange okay well oh that’s definitely yellow but um in that case is that orange or yellow fans

That’s red that’s orange that’s red that’s blue I’m going to go Blue to BL so as we tee this up the the quality that you get on the tailor made obviously the the benefits are it kind help with your alignment and things so we’re going to kick things off on a par

Five and you can use it for that I don’t use the stripes for that it’s sometimes a bit off-putting I like to not see anything at all so I just kind of put mine almost that way so I just can’t see anything so we’ll go with that but

Realistically guys I tried to work out the price for these on AliExpress if you ever heard of AliExpress it’s a website that’s a little bit yeah it’s probably not the most genuine of websites for certain products now I tried to work out how much they were and I came to the realization it

Looked like there were 46 for 10 and they only sold two any idea who they were to Chris Gary Martin on screen now Gary Martin has bought two he bought one for the video and then he lost them he had to buy them again probably but let’s

See just how good these are and how careful you should be when spending money on golf balls it’s a good flag that actually sounded really nice you know I’m going to give this a a a proper comprehensive review that’s down the left hand side it may have plugged on this wet Fairway so

Far so good realistically we are going to talk numbers as well so make sure you stay tuned for that and I have a very special prize for Chris at the end of this video which he knows nothing about so make sure you stay tuned for that are

You excited I brought you back from tenor e oh oh R you fair it’s a it’s something that you’ve earned all right enough with all your hard work and dedication I’m the same as you really I don’t like to obviously line it up it starts to put me off so yeah I’ll go

That way how’s your yellow ball the orange Ball’s fantastic that’s not orange that’s yellow in fact on the camera it looks orange but it is yellow how’s that it’s not but it’s orange so you lining that up for your Club face being Square yeah again obviously down there similar to what you

Can do with the tour response is try and get your lead in any Square so I let play a little bit of a phase so aiming down the left just get that square R parallel to the face first M show you just buying the tour resp response aren’t you well at that price

Yes oh that’s lovely fading around the corner nicely on the par five felt solid wasn’t the best swing I’ve ever put on it but no and it’s a really interesting one because these aren’t necessarily saying they are a tailor made toour response they don’t say tailor made on them they

Have to have copied the idea because they look absolutely identic and I’m not really a fan of that I like to think if you’re going to take something put your own imagination on it put your own twist on it not just your own name and your

Own price on it the fact that you probably can get these for a little bit cheaper but still it’s just are these just basically a fake tailormade golf ball potentially they are are they going to perform let’s find out I’m going to cut it open at the end and see if this

Fly is ever going to leave me alone right guys I’ve got my drive just up the left hand side not much roll today but that seems to performed okay I think it’s very wet and damp Under Foot so no real roll Chris has done me though up on

The right hand side this is one the wetest holes here at Waterfront Golf Club so par five we can’t place this ball and that’s one of the things which I didn’t really like about the stripe and sometimes does put me off a little bit having used it but I use the Green

Version generally so it doesn’t put you off too much cuz it just Blends into the grass the blue does put you off a little bit Three Wood it’s not lying too bad can we get up there there or thereabouts oh he’s all over it and that’s quite a nice flight actually go on

Oh front edge sounded good that didn’t it I was going to go for I am for safety but I don’t think I am well you can’t now no and the interesting thing for us is we test a lot of golf balls on this series talking balls not as many as we

Used to but we’re going to start up again very very soon so we’re going to bring you a weekly ball review and I really enjoy it because I love to see how different balls perform for different golfers one of the big questions we always ask ourselves is how

Good do you have to be to see a huge difference with your golf ball because often I think golfers should just save money I do there’s a lot of mid priz golf balls that are going to perform you’re not really going to see the difference you’re going to save I say up

To 2030 pounds these days from a premium golf ball and from there is that something you can spend on a lesson is that something you can spend on a new golf club is that something you can spend on going on a golf trip just for buying a cheaper golf ball these don’t

Actually seem that cheap amazing how that looks orange on screen but it looks so yellow to my eyes but would you buy a reputable brand like a Titleist of tailor made of Callaway yeah I get that now yeah you get it no I’ve got you close that or would you go and buy

Something you never really heard of we’ve always said realistically it’s all about using a consistent golf ball rather than treating yourself every so often to a prov1 or a tp5 than using like a true soft for the rest of the year yeah definitely consistency in your

Golf ball you know what flight you know how your chips are going to react you also mainly know how your puts are going to come off because a lot of people lose shots obviously on the putting green and that’s because they use a pinnacle gold and then maybe use a Pro V1

Nice be the club getting a great ball flight from it that’s going to be bang next to mine just front edge social golf great shot that well Chris I think that for one of us is a greening reg on the par five which is a exceptional effort I say with

This ball I mean they’re not cheap balls are they to me maybe they’re a great ball maybe they’re better than a tp5 who knows or even the tourist bonds which is uh masquerading as masquerading wait to you see your uh your prize Chris if you win oh can’t wait are you looking

Forward to it I’m on the edge of my seat some would say and you see this is exactly why he’s got as as it’s not a gift it is a prize it’s a prize for putting in it’s a reward for the efforts you could say and more for the um the

Mental strength all right that’s worrying right there’s two up here and Chris yours are short so it’s mine that’s actually on the green which I can’t quite believe but I’ve got an eagle put with this ball Steven on screen now yeah we haven’t used him for a while Steven have we we have

Not how’s it lasting we only a couple of shots with it the one thing I’d worry about is maybe the cover I don’t know what the cover’s made out of and also if you look on the website it says they made differ from 1 to 3 mil because of the

Handmade you reckon that’s the lines on them it can’t be the ball can it a ball can’t differ by 3 mil you’d hope not it’s just bad it’s bad terminology but also it’s bad cuz you don’t really know how much they cost for how many so I

Think it’s 46 quid for 10 which is astronomical money really can’t see Gary was it 10 dozen maybe I can’t see Gary paying that that was nice didn’t spin at all no it stru that well did feel like it came off a little bit hotter than maybe a aine

Cover still not on the green no no Steven for me not on screen now long P so average would be to three put from here just to get you fired up James would it h it’s a good 50 ft there at least than for that so what I like about

This ball is the feedback you get when you have the the tailor made the tour response but realistically we’re still going to get that feedback here but how does it feel not being a urethene cover that for me was Taylor maid’s absolute winner when they gave the toris spon a urethene

Cover go on go on go on go so I think it bubbled a little bit probably more because of the green than the stroke or the ball you can’t really blame the ball but I’m quite happy with that I mean it came off little bit firmer than I think anything premium but

It’s an easier bird you’re ever going to get and that’s one up so if Chris wants his prize he’s going to have to BU the next couple to get back into it it’s a right prize as well is it’s about the fortune I’m sure I’ve got that for a

Four you’re not only that though are you I like your positivity to average’ be three put from there just to get you fired up you saw me put to you saw me put yesterday funny how the colors are slightly different as well I think that’s very similar to the T response

Blue but that’s not very similar that doesn’t even look like one does it that orange no the yellow yellow yellow flag orange ball right let’s give it a roll come on Chris for the half go go left short as well it’s a great roll it was a great roll it’s still on

Its axis as you can see so nice bit of feedback it’s a good par but it’s not good enough no poor chip the chip cost it was a porw chip actually yeah okay so my favorite hole in this golf course a gorgeous par three the sixth hole measuring 173 yards it’s downwind though

And we’re going to discuss the numbers for these balls now for irons cuz I’ve been in the studio Studio testing them let’s have a look at how that went and how that could decide what club we’re hit to this Par 3 green so having already tested this AliExpress golf ball

Against the standard tail made T response in the studio the interesting fact was it felt awful but actually some of the numbers were there or thereabouts as you can see so if we compare these numbers ball speed wasn’t quite there spin rate was a little bit higher but

Carry distance four yards I mean realistically is four yards massive when you start talking about something like this you can see the total distance was even closer closer together but the ball didn’t feel anything like the actual Tor Spa three-piece Euro theme ball so very interesting numbers there and to be

Honest I’ve was quite impressed with those as well we’re going to play worst ball into this scen we have to hit the same club uh and we’re going to play a real tailor made T spawn stripe and the um this one what’ you reckon Chris eight

I’ve got a seven but it is down win so yeah I think an eight will work oh that’s like a five I’ve got it show them what seven you’ve got going to hit a soft seven can I get on with it yeah man of your cber right I’ll go real one

First James has been jimming this could go long I actually downwind is it yeah oh great strike if that’s the club it’s all over it I’ve got feel it might be short fading nicely oh no middle of the green yeah you’re taking that all day aren’t you it’s not really a flag

You’re going to try and attack too close to the back of it inside tour average so worst ball that’s something to beat at least same again nice high fade carbon copy it is actually went a little bit higher I think it launched higher cuz it’s not a urethan cover and

This is where the difference is I felt like they were exactly the same D it’s exactly the same shot and if I zoom in now you’ll see difference in the shots now it’s okay talking numbers it’s okay getting these balls in a suit studio and a simulator but when it comes to the

Real world scenario of where the finish that could cost you a shot and if it does that on every hole it could cost you a lot of shots it could you’ve changed from your why don’t you why you going with this cuz that will go long it

Will go long You’ seen my pure stride and I don’t have an eighton so right so my worst one is the fake one after two very similar swings actually I’m many to go fake first well we’re saying fake what a strike this could be a one go that’s a lovely shot disappointing it

Short actually cuz you hit that really well didn’t you yeah struck that well good flight again like you say certainly a little bit higher than I’d normally see I think well like machines interesting that one’s going a little bit further as well so when we do talk about golf balls we talk about

Components of golf balls and how many pieces it has and what the cover’s made out of for me what a lot of people don’t realize is it’s so important that you get a golf ball that you know how it’s going to launch for me urethan launches

Nice and low the spin rate Rises the ball up into the air and if it’s not urethan we can’t actually tell what these are can we it doesn’t say no it doesn’t say so it’s one of those things for the price you’ll instantly think probably they are your thing just

Because of how expensive they are I certainly don’t think they are no so guys really interesting different results here as well so we’ve got my AliExpress ball here which felt like a very very good strike and so did the real one both our real ones are closest

And both our real ones are closer to flag High which is really interesting chis a little bit of Back Spin on uh these as well yeah mine did as well actually mine so you’ve got plenty of stoppage there it’s more the distance that would worry me but loads of

Stoppage on the real one as well you can see it’s pitched here and then released back down as well yeah I’d rather have this put than that one right this I mean it’s another 50 60 footer I mean you perform well on the last can you do it again any SCS yeah

I’ve only really the eighton is the only iron we’ve kind of a couple in the studio but and again that’s kind of what you’re paying for isn’t it when you pay for premium balls how long do they last do you lose them before you scuff them

Anyway a lot of people I know uh Brett does right this is going to break a long way go on then go on then go on then I feel like I’m putting well with that the roll wasn’t as I wanted it to be but I think you’re taking that you

Distance-wise it’s there or thereabouts inside tour average from there You’ be looking 5 ft away I’d say that’s two and a half yeah and the ball’s still doing the job for me on these puts here so the shorter ones that you just know that this is where it really helps me get the

Ball on my start line all I’m thinking about there is the stroke length can I start the ball on this line that I want to and from there you should you can see there I’ve see your foot that CR to be fair all I’ve done there is I’ve under R

It quite a difficult put the stroke was good but it’s a bogey so that gets crisp back into it if uh say that you got to to put that first no pressure can’t really blame the ball for that but it did give me the feedback that it was

Under red so if you’re starting to underere all your puts for the day then it can help you in round to get those scores a little bit lower go oh there’s just good Pace it was excellent Pace how was the stroke stroke wasn’t the best and it got that feedback it didn’t roll

Exceptionally well obviously I’ve still managed to get the pace which is what you want on the putting green really probably going to save shots with Pace more so than anything so scores back to level after quite a disastrous three put from me there there but just a difficult um put

The left myself on a left to right this has been quite comprehensive let’s jump inside let’s see the numbers in relation to the T spa for driver with this ball then Chris has ran to the tea to claim his honor let’s see if he can claim this

Prize that is in my bag you won’t believe what this is by the way out for you looking forward to this well out for out was your birthday the other day was it it was 21 again now when it comes to numbers with driver this is why people

Spend the big bcks on a golf ball I’m well aware that people take the ball as far as you physically can CU it does give you a big advantage on the golf course as you can see that felt absolutely munched by the way still short of

It still short of it it was quite interesting because even some of the shots that felt fantastic just were nowhere near the standard ball we had quite a big ball speed drop of 4 miles hour spin rate was higher with the AliExpress ball and seven yards carry total distance so a bigger carry

Distance difference than with the irons guys would you spend the money on this ball let’s get out to the next hole a beautiful sweeping dog leg power four to the right you can see well bunker on the green and Chris to off first nice nice and low that I should

Tried to play that one low to see if it actually works since we think it’s not the orine cover well I think we I think we know it’s not don’t we I don’t think there’s any thinking about it but be interested to see how far that’s gone numbers wise they performed okay they

Performed as good as you would anticipate for I’m going to say a budget Ball but it’s not really a budget ball they performed pretty good and I know Gaz noticed they performed good inside as well still think for that price I’d just buy Taylor Maid that is perfect is it look

Good right so a good drive up the right hand side for me I’ve actually put a little bit of distance on Chris as well and applied the pressure you could say I think they’re about where I would anticipate a drive to go as well looking at the numbers from inside I think you

Can get some high floaty spinny ball Flats with this ball but if you can play it down and you have the kind of skill set to do so you can lower that spin a little bit I don’t think they’re as consistent from what I saw inside as a

Proper tailor made ball would be that probably down to the cover though as well and what the layers are made out of we haven’t actually seen if it is truly a three-piece ball yet we’ll cut it open this video imagine if it’s not if it’s a centered core oh yeah you know feels

Like a two-piece Ball but I’m I don’t know yet oh was here where’s that going oh it’s carried it though I mean pin High Direction Dreadful was it well struck or it’s well struck there obviously launched very high didn’t it it was a pitching wedge I’m going to go

A slightly different route here I’m going to go a little chippa tire and it’s only around 13 135 yards we’re into the wind and a big thing for me is kind of control this ball flight with this ball is it going to pop up on me because

Of what the outer lay is made of I’m not going for the flag e I’m going middle of the green I think Chris has got a three put in him from there and that is bang next to Chris’s ball so if he’s got a three put in him I

Probably have as well soal again kept it down yeah don’t argue with the flight no right very good for distance control there just shame about the accuracy we can’t blame the ball for that Chris can we no pin high or yours is just your but not not much is it really

No can’t blame the balls though it’s really at that price point as well even in the winter you wouldn’t want to say I we’ll go to these cheaper balls cuz they’re not well I’m just confused by the price cuz it can’t be 46 for 10 can

It maybe 46 for it says 10 doesn’t it 10 sleeves of 10 packs 10 sleeves of T is at 10 pieces yeah comment below cuz I don’t think they even came in boxes I think they just came in a big bag tell you we now Gary we will find out

And we will put it in Gary will send his big bag of golf balls at home that came off so dead got to go I am blaming the ball for that are you yeah cuz that was centered out of the mill in and it came off absolutely

Dead as a door knob almost like was a dead spot on the ball there well well we don’t know what that 1 to 3 mm is do we no is is that an off-centered core we will find out can’t be manmade though there’s no like paper masche is it like after

Attack turn good roll it’s an excellent roll Pace again not bad at all yeah well done get your marker out some oh I do this to not lose have it out please it’s the putting that’s done me you know and I’ve been on fire with putting with the truck Vegas

Back referee that was a great Port how’s that missed great p take well Chris I’ve got you something oh thank you very much it’s in a bag I don’t know if it’s broken but congratulations thank you very much the trophy is yours alop never a good sign oh we got a

Receipt ale hop in it alop ale hop alop oh is it do you know got a shop then yeah thanks thanks a lot let read it the worrying thing is did you have this made I should I’m more concerned about
