Ping Golf Club Serial Number Check
Nov 21, 2009. Hey guys, brand new to the forum. Bought some Ping i20's and seem to be launching them longer and higher then my previous irons (titleist AP1) Specs are all about the same loft as the i20 at each club 3-W. Looking to check the serial numbers to ensure they are standard loft and not strong.
So I bought a Ping G30 driver off a reputable ebay seller, with 100% positive feedback, in the PGA trade in network and zero mentions of fake clubs in the thousands of purchases in the last 12 months.
However, I tested the G30 in my fitting, and when I hit it, it made a 'cracking' noise instead of a metallic ping noise. I just got my driver from ebay today and when I went to the range to hit it, it didn't really feel the same at all. It made a metallic pinging noise instead of more of a wooden crack like in my fitting.
Is it possible it's a fake? The only differences I can think of is that the fitting was indoors using real balls (not range balls) and the shaft was much higher end.
I still have 10 days to return the driver so I'm wondering what to do here.
