Tiger Wood's Clubs being sold on Ebay

Tiger Wood's clubs are being sold on Ebay for $250,000.  Holy shit! The link to the ebay sellers page can be found here.  There is an article from a skeptic, who doesn't believe these clubs are authentic.  I personally agree and would never buy $250,000 clubs off ebay.  Clubs like this would most likely be sold in some sort of private auction. 

The Clubs in question are the Titleist clubs that Tiger used to win his 2000-20001 "Tiger Slam."  I highly doubt Tiger Woods would ever just give the clubs away, especially clubs from his 2000-2001 season, undoubtedly one of Tiger's best seasons. 

I feel that this is some sort of sham, I am curious to see if anyone would actually bid on these clubs.  I also wonder if there is any way to actually authenticate that Tiger Woods used these clubs during the 2000-2001 season.  I am going to keep an eye on the listing for the next 8 days and see if the clubs actually get sold.

UPDATE:  Apparently the seller of the Woods' clubs is a former titleist VP named Steve Mata.  Tour officials have contacted Tiger Woods about the clubs, Tiger has said he has his "Tiger Slam" clubs with him.  Steve Mata, however, is stickin with his story; he is selling the real deal.  link

My experience with Callaway X22 Irons

When I first started playing, I went to Dicks Sporting Goods and bought myself a starter set.  It was a set of Slazenger Wrath clubs, came with a driver, two hybrids, and irons from p to 5 irons.  The Irons didn't feel too good for me, so I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong when I mis-hit a shot.  I then used my friends callaway X14's from back in the day.  The difference was literally night and day.  Earlier this year, around March, I went to a local pro shop and demoed a set of Callaway X22's along with TaylorMade Burner Irons.  I fell in love with the Callaway's.  The TaylorMades claim more distance, but I honestly didn't witness that, may be something petty but the false advertisement definitely made the TaylorMade less appealing to me.  I bought a set of X22's and I instantly shed about three strokes off my game.  This was incredible for me because I have slowly been making progress the last three years, and with these new clubs I did in one match what it took me to do in two years with other clubs.  


The feel is very smooth off virtually any surface.  It is light enough for me to control where I want the ball to go, and it is very forgiving as well.  More so than the TaylorMade I felt.  I would definitely recommend the X22's for people who have had a couple years of golf under their belt.  In my opinion, it is a great game improvement set.
