Clone Golf Clubs
There are many differing opinions about whether or not it is worth it to splurge on the brand name version of a club or to purchase the cheaper clone version. For those of you who have unlimited checking accounts, or for those who are independently wealthy, by all means, splurge away. This article isn’t for you. For the remaining 90% who, like me, need to make every dollar count, read on.
Advantages of Clone Clubs
First and foremost, clone clubs such as Lady Grand Hawk and GigaGolf almost always cost at least 50% to 75% less than their brand name counterparts. Frequently, the clone will have the look and feel similar to that of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), such as Callaway, Cleveland, or Adams. A little known (but quite telling) fact is that almost all of the big OEMs get their grips and shafts from the same sources as those little clone club start-ups. Not only that, but smaller companies usually do not have the same marketing and hype expenses of the larger companies, which allows them to sell their products at a lower cost. This means that when buying a brand name club, in essence, you are paying a lot more money for the clubhead and the name.
How Do Clone Clubs Work for Women Golfers?
For the frugal yet discerning woman golfer, the most important consideration is a perfect fit without breaking the bank. While you can have any set customized to your personal specifications, customization costs extra and must be included in the budget of the clubs. Fortunately, there are many reputable clone sellers, even online, who will customize an entire set of clubs to match your swing speed and ball flight requirements. Some examples include Pinemeadow Golf and Hirekogolf.com which includes a wonderful online, custom-fitting module.
