About Clone Golf

About Clone Golf
Clone golf clubs are legal copies or near copies of brand-name golf clubs. They are very similar to the brand-name golf clubs but are offered at cheaper prices.

Not Counterfeit

Clone golf clubs are not counterfeit. The main difference is counterfeit clubs are illegally sold under a brand name and usually sold for the same price or slightly cheaper. Clone clubs are sold under a generic name and are much cheaper.

Price

Brand-name golf clubs are more expensive because they spend a lot on advertising and promotion. Clone clubs do not have this expense, and the savings are passed on to the consumer.

Materials

Clone golf clubs are made from the same materials as their brand-name counterparts.

Workmanship

Clone golf clubs are approximately the same workmanship as brand-name clubs and are often made at the same foundry.

Customization

An advantage to clone golf clubs is they often can be customized for the individual golfer. A pro line of golf clubs does not offer this.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
