Im sticking my neck out here but I promise you , you cannot get Grey imports , parallell imports from golf companies like Callaway or Titleist etc You might be lucky to have a pal in the factory who steals a set and then looses his job but certainly not set up a web site and start marketing all major Brands for sale.It doesnt happen.Wont happen ,Cant happen. Quit dreaming... Look at it another way , Golf is becoming more and more popular in China as wealth creation increases .Just like Japan in the early 80`s.If you go to a golf shop in China genuine Callway,Nike clubs are expensive but made "apparently" in China maybe a few miles away. Dont you think if it was possible to get them from the factory every Chinese Tom , D ick and Harry would be there saving them selves a few thousand yuan ?? Word would spread like wildfire.. Quit dreaming.. TomH

Well yes I didnt point this out but this is equally important. TomH

It wasn`t my statement just commenting on this : TomH

Apart from anything else how can a supplier afford to re-ship genuine Callaway clubs if they get confiscated by customs???? He can`t.....unless they are cheap cheap cheap..... QED ..they are copies. To be honest I dont understand how Kenberg presumed they would be real , especially from the information on the web site , replica watches Lv hand bags and free re-shipping............. Glad no-one got taken. A pal of mine bought the following from China recently : Callaway Irons latest Big bertha Callaway Woodsx3 Odossey putter 2 ball Pro bag Umbrella Travel cover bag for golf bag and holdall All for just over $200 Thats how cheap stuff is if you know where to go. FYI Im not saying compaines like Callaway sell far superior products , they just have a well thought out market to protect. Around 10 years ago when callaway launched the Biggest Big Bertha driver the actual production cost stood at around $5 which included shaft and grip , this obviously did not include any R&D , marketing or sponsership costs .But you can see how cheap stuff is made. Callaway have made fortunes especially when they give the local retailer or pro shop a small trade discount of around 20-25%. If you could get authentic clubs unauthorised it would be a few sets and it wouldnt last 5 minutes.The hole would be plugged. Best stick to watches and clothing TomH

Companies like Callaway invest a fortune in advertising , marketing and sponsership to make their brand what it is. Any Authorised factory would not risk selling goods out the back door just for a few extra bucks , the factory would loose their contract and get sued as well just for the bargain.Its strict , strict strict. Also many of the clubs are actually shipped to the relevant countries in parts and then assembled. So they ship containers of heads , shafts grips etc. It saves on space and allows more product to be shipped. Sometimes the shaft are manufactured in different countries and then shipped to different locations for assembly , so any factory offering fully assembled clubs saying they are genuine are telling stories. Factories that manufacture clubs do not make shafts . TomH

How could anyone believe these would be real from an authorized factory?? Especially when the guy also sells replica watches on his web site as well. Come on guys...................... You simply cannot buy genuine Callaway , Nike etc golf clubs and prices on this site and expect them to be real.End of Story. TomH

Cheers Josh let you know how I get on. TomH

Guys any one recommend a reliable web hosting company to host a site I have? Has to be off shore .I am in Uk. Thanks TomH

Definately not a genuine bezel! Might be a genuine dial though but hard to spot in pics, nice watch though! wear it well TomH

Thing I always notice on the Explorer 2 is the black bezel triangles on the rep are never close to the end of the bezel like on the genuine.
