Dubious to me.

I wrote this post on some of the things you should be looking out for when buying online, not definitive but a starter for 10

If there is no contact telephone number or address then I wouldn't bother.

I spent eleven years of my life investigating serious frauds including things such as invesment scams.  You never go far wrong if you stick to the old saying, "if something sounds too good to be true then it usually is"!

Mind you, it's easy to be caught out.  I bought a camera (or at least I thought I did) from what turned out to be a dodgy online camera retailer a few years back.  All becasue they were 20% cheaper than any other shop or website!

I wish it was real, some of those irons are japan only releases and even though some of them are last years models they would have retailed for 5 times the price they are onthat ste.

They sell ping so you can easily check with ping if they are an authorised retailer.

Pretty sure it is based in China,the Whois domain is coming up as China,also the tax free advert gives it away.if it is you will have to pay import duty

Gary, you have probably answered your own question.  Ping do not allow any retailers to sell their clubs online!

On first glance at the site - on the main page in the banner adverts they've spelt Darren Clarke's surname wrong and spelt Titleist wrong (no E in both cases). Surely that alone should tell you something? Richard - spot on mate.....
