How to Tell If My TaylorMade r7 Is Genuine

TaylorMade designed its r7 drivers with movable weight technology, allowing golfers to alter the weight distribution in the club head and thus the trajectory of the ball's flight. As with any clubs, clones or knockoffs are in circulation that fail to live up to the specifications of the authentic ones. The only way to absolutely ensure you're buying true TaylorMade clubs is to buy from an approved vendor. If you have already bought the club, you can take some steps to verify its authenticity.

     Locate the serial number on the hosel of the club. This is the small metal joint that links the shaft and club head. If no number is present, the club is a fake. However, if a number is present, that doesn't necessarily mean the club is authentic.
