When trying to find the best deal for a set of TaylorMade R9 irons (which several reputable discount sites were offering for between £450 - £500 I found these guys - http://www.mygolfpurchase.com offering them at £299.
Now the site is pretty slick with a 'Chat Now' option and they quote a London telephone number but there is no contact address details and the person who answered the online 'chat now' session definitely didn't have English as their first language.
So the question is - Is this a pretty sophisticated off-shore site offering Chinese Knock-offs of major club brands in a format which would probably fool many people, or am I mis-juding them and they are a major, major UK based wholesaler selling pucker gear at super low prices ???????????
Your thoughts please.

I've asked the lads on the golf forum I post on if they've had any experience of that particular company
Will come back with any info
Edit
had a couple of quick replies
definately Chinese snides, approach with caution

I suspected as much. So cheap clubs sold cheaply, nice and pretty and new but when you use them the clubhead falls off after 3 rounds...
what I am surprised about is that Ping, Taylormade, Callaway etc haven't shut them down - they've got a page 1 rank in google so they should be high enough profile for the club makers to see and easy enough to target.
Won't google shut them down? Or is it not that easy?

I came across this site when looking to buy my Ping G15 irons. i went through the online help system, where i asked plenty of questions to see if they were genuine. It all seemed too good as the irons retailed at about £425 in my pro shop & these were £230. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right so didn't go through with it...I just kept thinking..'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is'
Got them from the pro shop in the end!
