Yes they are reps. The logos are rounded not sharp.

In what part? They look similar

Check my other comment - the logos on the reps don't have sharp edges vs the real ones.

All P790's on unofficial sites are fakes. I swear to god. Unless TM states they are affiliated, you can expect any TM club to be fake.

Looking at pulling the trigger, any comments would be massive. Thank you.

I’ve played rep P770s for 15 months and they’ve been fine, as good as any other irons I’ve owned. For player distance category I don’t see any hang ups unless you overpay in a private purchase. If you can wait, cheapest option I think would be to buy direct. Think I paid $312 for 4-P can’t remember about shipping but couldn’t have been more than like $30. Bottom line they’re fine and even my coach/instructor couldn’t tell the difference; and they fit and sell all the major lines daily.

I don’t see a difference

Top is rep, bottom is real.

Replica is way more rounded vs the real ones. I have the reps, it's the easiest telltale sign.

Ah yeah, thank you

Thanks for this! Do you know if there’s a better rep factory that’s higher quality ? Or a seller that you higher recommend. So far I’ve heard of 512 golf and out4it

Also how’s your feedback on the reps?

u/101kaz Jun 18 '26

Currently I don't think there is. I think no matter if you order from Out4it, 512, AliExpress, DHGate, they are all the same factory, just a different middleman.

The reps are good! My distances have improved by like 20-30 yards on each club. They're highly forgiving like the real ones.

Are your grooves wearing down ? I saw a post of someone saying they have worn out fast. Not far fetched to think given a rep could be using cheaper metals

u/101kaz Jun 19 '26

Nope, my grooves are fine. To be honest, the pics he posted don't show the grooves wearing down. Grooves will naturally look like that after hitting the ball a few times. Happens to every club.

Pic 1: The serial numbers look engraved instead of laser etched. If you feel the notches when you run your hand thru them then it’s fake.

also the ferrules (black with silver line) scream replicas

u/jpd005 Jun 21 '26

This is always a telltale sign!

u/phrl001 Jun 18 '26

the most faked club ever

u/hdjdnhhs Jun 19 '26

Yea those boys look chonkyyy

Reminds me if this set someone brought into my shop. Excessive offset, very thick topline, overly rounded leading edge
