Try asking the seller if there is a serial number on the hosel of the 5-iron. If there isn't they are probably fake.

I have had a look at these clubs.

If the seller isn't sure they are genuine in my mind that makes them FAKE.

Personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

If I were making fakes I would definitely put a serial number on the 5i.....

You can confirm with taylormade the serial number is genuine or on them system at least.

Not difficult to copy a serial number but you can call Taylormade and ask if the serial has been registered with them already and where.

Looking at them they are definately fake

I say fake.

The TM logo on the hosel doesn't look right and why does it have 'rac' stamped there?
These are not rac clubs so I'm guessing these come from the same moulds as the fake rac OS2 sets they've been making, which looks like it's made with a similar frame but a different face - easy to do in China (which is where they're made anyway).

Other things like the labelling don't ring true to my eyes although hard to spot in the pics.

Also, vague description, 'my mate's got a set and they're fine' blah blah blah as if already acknwledging that there's something not right with them.
Is there really a mate and if so why, I wonder, being the enterprising scamp that he his, did he bring two sets back to the UK?

Alarm bells are ringing.
Avoid.
