Counterfeits are doing a better job of looking like authentic models.

If you didn’t buy them through an authorized dealer an/or the price was too good to be true, then the odds go up as counterfeit. The best resource is to do due diligence prior to purchase. No Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) allows a discount so any price of more than 5% under current market pricing is an issue.

Haha. Out of the dozens of "Is this fake" posts I see on here, this is the first one that I can say it's absolutely fake. there face grooves 100% don't look like that. And the SM11 is in a chrome band, it's not just etched in the hosel with very poorly etched bands above and below it. The ferrules don't even look quality.

You my friend unfortunately bought fake goods.
