DHGate - Mizuno & Honma - Real or Fake?


Recommended Posts

Anybody have knowledge or experience with buying equipment through DHGate? 

 

Found these Honma, and (Mizuno) JPX 900 irons, but am thinking might be forgery. 

What say you?  Legit or Bogus?

I'd say they're fake , some buddy's have ordered other products claim real authenticity of the brand and it came and was a great replica. Just my experiences with dhgate

Yep, I can attest, Unless there is some misunderstanding with their listing, those do not look like my set of JPX EZ Forged. Here's a photo:

Kind of echos all the replies so far but ive bought some basketball jerseys off their website for pretty damn cheap and they're definietly not the real deal. Not as big of a deal with clothing personally but golf clubs, probably wouldnt risk it.

Picked up a set of real AMT shafts from a buddy so ordered a set of miura heads from DHGates. Given the price I know they are knockoffs but ordered them anyway. When they arrive and I've tested them I'll post a review.

I think the big question is whether you are happy with the way the clubs play.  I have had a number of iron sets over the years and some of the cheapest clubs i have had were some of the best feeling and best hitting clubs.  Some of the most expensive ones I have had were the worst feeling and worst hitting clubs.

While counterfeiting of clubs has become a much bigger problem that most people realize, with the advances in technology most iron counterfeits or knockoffs have the very same specs and material as the "real thing" and many of the heads for irons are actually made in China--probably at the same factory that made the knockoffs.

Unless you are a scratch golfer you probably cannot tell the difference--and you may not be able to then.  Perhaps one way you may be able to tell is whether the seller can give you the specs of a particular iron.  Most of the people trading in counterfeits have no clue what the swing weights , lie angle or loft angle are for their clubs.

With the move by some companies to hollow core irons that contain varying amounts of foam (e.g. TMs P-790 or Pings I-500 or G-410 or 700 it becomes more difficult to counterfeit because the amount of foam or its density is a very closely held secret that can't be copied simply by cutting a club in half and measuring it.
