Cleveland Launcher Clone Golf Clubs

Cleveland Launcher Clone Golf Clubs
Cleveland golf clubs are some of the best in the world, and the Launcher line is one of its signatures. Cleveland golf clubs offer high-quality and cutting-edge technology. With this comes a price tag that not everyone can afford. You do have other choices. You can look into clone clubs, which are designed with the Cleveland Launcher clubs in mind but the manufacturer tweaks the clone club enough so nothing violates the patents. Clone clubs are not the same as the real clubs, but they offer a similar look and feel to the original.

Websites

There are many places you can go on the Internet to find these clone golf clubs. CloneGolfClubAdvisor.com talks about all the Cleveland models and gives actual clone clubs for the Launcher that are similar. This website steers you to the Tour Response Vaulter line of club heads that it feels are the best alternative. Allforgolf.com gives you the Professional Open line of wedges that are pretty much the same design, but you save around $80 per club.

Components

Another place to find these alternative clubs is your local retail golf shop. Places like Golfsmith and Golf Galaxy have a components area in the store where you can piece together your own clubs from different club makers. Seeking their advice can save a lot of time when looking for Cleveland Launcher clone clubs. The club makers should know what equivalent club heads they have to the Cleveland Launcher model you are looking for. Golf Galaxy is connected to Golf Works and uses its brands, whereas Golfsmith carries comparable house brands, like Snake Eyes. Not only can you choose the club head but also the shaft and grip that is right for you. Cleveland sometimes adds an up charge to these requests, making the Cleveland club even more expensive.

Second Hand

Golf clubs have the resale value of cars. As soon as it is driven off the lot, the value of the car plummets, just like golf clubs, due to rapidly changing technology. Manufacturers now come out with a new club twice a year, instead of ever other year or less. Because of this, you can find great prices on older Launcher models second hand. Even though they are not clone clubs, places like 2nd Swing and Ebay can offer the genuine Cleveland Launcher clubs for a lower price. Most likely, they are in used condition and what you see is what you get. You cannot customize unless you take it somewhere like your local golf course or golf retailer and spend extra money to change it. If you find yourself lucky enough to find exactly what you are looking for at the price you want to pay, then purchase it.
