I bought a set of AP2 710's and I have questions about whether or not they are real. When I bought them I called Titleist to verify their authenticity and was assured that they were. However, I compared mine to a set in the PGA superstore in Myrtle Beach and found many minor differences.
Mine:
-no markings on shaft other than true temper band.
-color difference in tungsten sole is not as defined.
-the "tungsten ni" tag reads "tungstenni"
-The rubber insert isn't perfect.
-grips feel horribly cheap. they look this way too.
When I unwrapped them, the grip wrapping didn't list the patents. but was identical otherwise.
I'll get some pictures up here later, but I don't know what to think since the serial number checked out.
