I recently purchased the following 3 wood from eBay:-

Tommy Armour 845s Titanium 3 Wood 13° Graphite (S)

Men's Right Hand
Loft: 13°
Length: Standard
Shaft: G-FORCE 3.3 Tour Series powered by Aldila (Graphite)
Flex: Stiff (S)
Grip: Half Cord Wrap

The club only cost £20. I have searched Google for the club and can't find anything "official" to tie it to Tommy Armour.

Has anyone ever come across this club?

Have I bought a dud or is it the real deal?

Feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig.

It's more than likely genuine
Tommy Armour are a competent mid range company and some of their kit has been outstanding - but never expensive.

Unlikely to be a forgery - bit like forging a Hippo.

The parent company Huffy Corp had some problems last year and there was a shake up I believe so its probable that the Tommy Armour website is only showing current models

I used to have a 15 degree model. Long shallow face, UST shaft as standard. Quite a useful club.

Why would people bother forging Tommy Armour clubs and making £20, when they could copy Taylormade's, Callaway's etc and make hundreds..?

Because it's not as obvious Alex.

You see an R7 Quad for a stupid price and the alarm bells start ringing.

I know that Tommy Armour isn't top dollar but i still thought it was a bargain. Then when i couldn't find any reference to the club the alarm bells started to ring.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Craig.

Craig,
I have just bought a Tommy Armour 3W (845 HTS) from direct golf for 39.99 - so they are definately around a ridiculously low prices.

Sorry, it was actually £29.99!!

Well if it is real, for £20, you got an absolute bargain.
