Fake Bauer Proto R vs Retail Authentic Proto R visual differences

[@DarrinLintz710]

Also if you take the plug out of it. You will feel a seam running down the inside of it Also in the video I said the real one has the thicker logo. The fake one actually has the thicker logo

[@seebz13]

Also spotted another difference, on the Loading… decal on the side of the stick, it has the “G” with the line going down on the real, while the fake doesn’t have a little line going down.

You can see it at 3:44

[@seebz13]

Also the L is off of them

[@DarrinLintz710]

DAMN Bro good eye. I had to grab them and look. Also at 3:11 on that logo. The real one on the left has a line above the R. The fake on the right it's not colored in.

@@DarrinLintz710 I didn't even see that after examining all the shots I got of it.

@@DarrinLintz710 At the same point, the lines are also thicker, and the pattern on the chromatic line all the way at the top had a different pattern. Fake looks like the lines poke out a bit, while real looks like the lines are engraved in the stick. Also, the pattern is different on the black part above the logo. The little lines on the fake are tilted around to a 45-90 degree angle from the real one. Edit: Its easier to see what I said at the end if you look below the "R" Symbol. Even the Chromatic "o" in proto has different lines. Also the triangles on the stick are a bit different. Fake one is slightly larger. I also noticed the Fake one has what looks like a CCM logo near the top. Not sure if your friend put that there but if not, clear indicator of fake.

where did you get the fake one?

[@DarrinLintz710]

@seebz13 There is a guy local to me that sells just about any top end stick for under 150 bucks. It's even cheaper if you buy multiple. The fake ones are a buddy of mine. He didn't realize they were until he got them next to my real ones. The fake is really light and has a great shot but it snapped his first time playing with it. The kid did BC 2 hand TF out of it. Our season starts tomorrow and he going to see how long the other lasts.

@@DarrinLintz710 How long did it last?

[@DarrinLintz710]

@blackopsovechkin My buddy bought 2. The first game he used one some kid swing at it like he had an Ax and broke it in half. He used the other one 4 games so far. He likes it.
