Clone Golf Clubs CAN Save You Big Time!

Clone golf clubs can be the high quality equipment that you need, but at a fraction of the price of name brand clubs. However, you have to be careful!!!

So what are clone golf clubs? Clones are clubs that take the basic design of the brand name clubs (TaylorMade, Ping, Titleist, Callaway, etc.), make small modifications that in most cases do not affect performance, and then market them under a different brand name. Don't confuse clones with illegal knockoff clubs which seek to fool you into thinking you're buying the name brand or with counterfeit clubs.

The makers of legitimate golf club clones are scrupulous in observing the patents and property rights of the major brands (otherwise they'd be sued out of existence). Legitimate clones stress that they are clones by using language such as "compare to Callaway's FT-5" or "similar to Ping's G-10". The illegal knockoffs & counterfeits seek to confuse you with a similar sounding name or defraud you with clubs that look virtually identical to the real thing.

How good are clone golf clubs? Basically these clubs are made from very similar materials and design principles of the brand name golf clubs. Because of this, clones typically look, feel and perform very much like the name brand clubs. From a practical standpoint most except for perhaps the very experienced golfer will ever notice a significant difference. It's interesting to note that the majority of brand name companies outsource the actual production of their club components to the same foundries & suppliers that provide clubs to the major clone companies!

The price of clone golf clubs is what makes them so attractive to novice & casual golfers. The major golf club companies spend enormous sums of money (in some cases up to 70% of cost) on promotion, advertisements, & endorsements. On the other hand, the producers of clone clubs typically forgo these costs and the middleman & sell directly on the internet.

Caution is always in order in buying anything on the internet. Sometimes it is virtually impossible to distinguish clubs of the legitimate quality clone companies from the illegal knockoffs, counterfeits, or low quality clones made with inferior materials. Your best bet is to deal with those clone companies that have a long, proven track record for quality, guarantees, & great customer service! I recommend that you check out Pinemeadow Golf, GigaGolf, and Golf Ideas, all established and reputable companies!

Getting quality golf equipment at reasonable prices is a major goal for the frugal golfer, and buying golf clubs from the recognized clone companies can improve your game while not busting your pocketbook!
