New to golf reps a few questions from a former rep watch buyer

Hi everyone, I’m new to this server. I recently got into golf, but before that I was into replica watches. In the rep watch world, there are certain factories known for making the best version of a specific watch. My first question is: in the golf rep world, are there also factories or sellers that offer better products than others?

My second question: are rep clubs worth buying? I understand they’re way cheaper and won’t deliver the exact same performance, but are there clubs that come close to the real versions in terms of performance? I’ve heard that LAB putters feel just like the real ones, that TaylorMade P790 irons are good, and that wedges are decent. I’m new to this, so maybe you have different opinions—just let me know.

My third question: what’s the cheapest agent to use for shipping to Europe? I was thinking of using CSSBuy for golf reps.

My last question: I understand reps won’t match the performance of genuine clubs, but is everyone in this sub just buying for looks? Personally, I’m looking for both performance and appearance.

Thanks in advance!
