1.ASP logo difference, the color of the orange ball in the asp logo is different for the fake and original, also the real one paint is very smooth, and very beautiful, but fake one have some faults.
2.Hit face difference, for the fake one, the paint is different with the real one
3.the marks on the top side difference, as you can see the picture in this thread, the mark for fake R11 drivers is askew, but for the real one, the mark is beautiful and tidy.
4.also for the NCO mark on the bottom side, same as tip 3.
5.the mark for the loft is different, please look the .5 carefully, there is a small triangle in the 5 top side. but for the fake, it is flat.

Do not buy anything from this site. I am sorry to say they got me for $250 for a “R11″ which was a fake. I have played Taylormade all my life and should have known better when I saw the price. The first clue was the sound it made. I have never heard the clanky sound it made from an authentic Taylormade product. Then the screw started stripping after only 10 changes to the head. I finally took it to a reputable supplier and compared it side by side. There were subtle differences in the lettering on the headcover and the head itself that you would not know if not looking at a real one side by side with the fake. The old adage is true..if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.
No question about it. The one I bought had the same fake characteristics as you describe.
Thanks for the info. Also there is a problem with the red insert in the sole. On the fake it is pure seating and the foam insert is to small. also i have noticed that the shafts on the fake are glossy and dull on genuine. Also the writing on the shaft is to large, and the red band near the grip should be about 2″ from the grip. Finally the fake headcovers are very poor. The stitching on them are wrong.
