When you hear clone golf clubs, you might instantly think of a sweatshop somewhere making inferior products at cheaper prices in an attempt to swindle customers. If you think that, you’d be wrong. Clone golf clubs may be “remakes” of popular and successful golf club designs, but they’re anything but cheap products.
If you aren’t familiar with clone golf clubs, what they are is rather simple. Expert engineers examine and deconstruct the more popular golf clubs, and then recreate them using similar materials while violating no copyrights or patents. What this means is that for most popular golf clubs out there, someone has created a clone golf club of it at a fraction of the price.
Clone golf clubs are designed to be affordable alternatives for the Average Joe. It’s estimated that for a $500 top of the line driver, less than $75 of that is actually used in production costs, and a majority of the money goes to the company as profit. Clone golf clubs eliminate that huge profit margin, making it a much better alternative for those looking to get high-performance clubs at a fraction of the price.
When you buy a clone golf club, you aren’t sacrificing effectiveness or stability; all you lose is the name brand on the head of the club, and a few color options here and there.
Like all golf club purchases, it’s important before you buy a set of clone golf clubs to research them online or ask a local golf store for their expert opinion. Much like any normal golf club, sometimes the difference between two in the same price range can be astronomical. Wouldn’t you rather be sure you got the best club for you rather than purchase a non-tested set a day or two earlier?
