The P790's are impressing me, to say the least.  They remind me somewhat of years back when I gamed the Taylormade R9 irons. Same head size and performance and they were a huge hit for TM. 

I told him I think he'll love them. There might be a slight adjustment period coming from the Atomics, but since he hit my Mizuno's well I think it won't take long for him to get the hang of them.

Whelp, had my longest Member Streak going and had a delayed first post for the first time in 24 days apparently.  So what exactly is a streak and what breaks the streak?  And I am quite certain this is not the streak that would have given my mother a stroke had I been a streaker of this kind back in her day.

I like this forum bc I can get streaks that I don't have to wash off/out.

I forgot that they even had streak tracking.   Was surprised that I had the longest non-mod active streak.......thinking I may be on here too much

Out of work and got the fire going and the tour on TV. This weather is absolutely terrible. Looking better for tomorrow though

I think I'm at 14 days without messing it up. Usually I'll forget to say something in the morning and start over.

I've got more of the family tree overlooking my bedside on a shelf. They do most of my smiling so I don't have to (I say in my most gruff, Liam Neeson voice)

Back to the same time change as all of you in the US! 

Unfortunately I had a early start at work which made the time change even earlier. Throw in the baby being up every 2 hours and it makes for a Long Long day!

Neighbor got a brand new garden tractor delivered so I took the old one off his hands for a few bucks, he didn’t keep it very nice but just gave it a bath and changed the oil. Mostly need it for moving all the firewood from the front of the house to the rear rather than the wheel barrow!

How do you know if irons are real or fake? I was scrolling on the Facebook marketplace and some Mizuno JPX 921 Tour irons caught my eye. It was a set of 4-PW listed for $750. When I reached out to the person that had listed the irons to ask him why he was selling, his only response was him needing extra stiff shafts instead of stiff. Thinking that these irons are only two years old, a price of $750 almost seems too good to be true. Does anyone know how to tell if irons are real or counterfeit? It is a tempting deal, but also don't want to get scammed out of the real deal. Thanks!

Always good to be cautious but that price does not seem crazy off base for two year old irons with the next model already out. Though I have never bought of Facebook only MSG and GolfWRX but so far no issues personally.

While there are some tell tale signs that can be looked for like wrong fonts or being too good to be true price generally unless you have them in hand you won’t know.   You could contact Mizuno with the serial number.  The price doesn’t seem that far off for “older” clubs.  Check sites like global golf, 3 balls, mikes golf outlet and other used club companies to compare  prices.
