Old news... we've known about them for a long time. They use all our photos, even copy our blog posts (see their PRGR Clubs).
We approached them and they denied it.
As long as people know they are not associated with us and hopefully innocent people don't get ripped off.
We should just get everyone together and all just contact them and tell them they are thieves.

Thats just terrible! Where are they operating from? China? Intellectual property theft is not exactly a priority there, is it..

I had a very funny on-line chat with them that I published on another forum. Was asking about their Epon 502's that they were selling for half price. He and I went back and forth about authenticity and how they could sell the so cheaply. He talked about how they get the heads direct from the foundry, blah, blah, blah. Was very funny and in the end he hung up on our little chat. If I can find it i will copy here.
If you want to drive them crazy, have members here engage in daily live chats with their operators. Great comic relief!

Yeah Epon confirmed a while ago that this shop carries fakes. As well as fake Titleist, Yamaha, Honma and others.
Problem is they claim to be based in Indonesia and I had gbs (Budi) contact them. He asked to go to their shop and see their store and started writing to them in indonesian and I think the operator hung up on him as well.
Not only do they use my photos, photoshopped out the watermarks... they use my blog posts word for word.
http://www.r11golf.c...show.asp?i=1022
http://www.golftoimp...st-impressions/
Yet they deny it and say they take their own photos.
Does their gallery look familiar?
