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

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
