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

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
