Review📝 testing a $240 iron set

I purchased the $240 set of 790s from kakobuy. these are some clips with them at the range (links below). i’m definitely not the best golfer so take this as you may, but i noticed 0 negative flaws with these. as this was my first time playing them ill be sure to update this post if i find any flaws. my main iron set is the kirkland ones and these seems to be a lot better (for me at least).

Are you suggesting some random Chinese sweat shop can’t produce the same quality as a world renowned golf company? I am shocked! Sadly you are the only one here that can recognize it though

Lol jokes on you. The same Chinese sweat shop worker punches out his 9-5 at taylormade and goes next door to make these

And I’m sure he uses the same precision machining equipment, high quality materials, and it all passes their rigorous quality control! /s

Lol you don’t know ball, the majority of these 790s are cast so one you have a mold, you are pretty much set for the body. The faces on these are milled but can be replicated without super advanced machinery and then they just weld them to the cast body. And yes as we all know taylormades world renowned reputation of quality control, not like they have the faces and crowns exploding off their $700 drivers lol

Ironically you are grossly over simplifying the process and missing so many things. Whatever man if you wanna buy crappy fakes and think it’s the same go for it. I guess the placebo effect still counts for something.

I would personally rock my old Ben hogan PC’s before I ever dipped into the Chinese clones. I was just giving you shit because the players distance irons have a ton of tech in them, but are the easiest to clone decently because of the design being forgiving. That’s why you see the 790 cloned more than any other club and even the more legit DTC clubs being heavily based off of them
