LBlack14 Have you bought some from Temu, Aaron? Maybe a "professional" comparison?
No, I haven't. But I do have 130K order of Golf Pride arriving in February because we signed on as a distributor.
The truth is that if a fake is good enough, there's not a ton of people that would be able to tell the difference. Smell is not a true factor, we've gotten Lamkin direct from the factory that people have cried fake because of the smell and it's simply not true.
It's a serious serious problem with particularly the Golf Pride brand which gave me pause for even diving in with them as a distributor. So this Temu stuff is frustrating I admit. I don't give a hoot if people buy them and don't care that they are fake, but to say they AREN'T fake does touch my eyeball a little bit. Lets just call a spade a spade here. You have the people that truly care whether they are real of not and those will be our customers, and you have the people that don't care and they won't, and that is fine too.
But some employee at a random golf store most certainly is not an expert at calling something real or fake. I'm completely diving into the Golf Pride brand as we speak and I don't know that I will ever be able to tell myself.
