So im looking to purchase a Mizuno JPX-825 Pro iron set. Golfsmith has them at $599 on their site however a very reputable ebay store called budgetgolf has them for 499. Has anyone purchased clubs from this store? Why are they $100 cheaper? Ive heard that it can be unsafe purchasing clubs on ebay due to knockoffs but this store has some great feedback. What do you think?

Caveat emptor. There are definitely legitimate reasons why an online retailer can offer clubs at a lower markup than a big box store and you certainly can't assume they are fake. That said, the internet is full of counterfeit clubs. Take a close look at all of the pictures and make sure that you use a form of payment that you can recoup if the clubs are indeed, fake.

Just found this on their ebay page: 

 We are a family owned retailer that has been in business since 1993. Each and every item we sell is authentic. We are an authorized dealer for all manufacturers. We only sell items we buy direct from the manufacturer. We have never once sold an item that did not come direct from the manufacturer. We stand behind all of our products. If there is a problem with any item please let us know and we can assist. In the event of a damaged item, mis-shipped item, or lost package, please rest assure that we will take appropriate actions and proceed accordingly under our guidelines and policies. We may not be aware of any problem unless contacted, and we will do our very best to remedy a solution. Inventory is subject to change. Some items do sell out faster than expected. We do apologize for this occurrence.

call mizuno and check the serial numbers - they are great about telling you where the clubs were sold and if the serial numbers match the clubs you are inquiring about

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
