We find you the best deals on Golf Club Clones and name-brand knock offs
Why Discount Golf Clones?
Playing golf is a lot of fun, but the equipment can be expensive. If you are like me, you figure that if you could play with some of the latest golf clubs, it would improve your score. But $400 for a driver? Give me a break!
Yet, golf technology has advanced so much in recent years that we casual golfers are precisely the ones who can benefit most from some of the new golf equipment improvements.
Golf Club Clones to the rescue
Fortunately, you can play with the latest golf technology without breaking the bank. The way to go is with golf club clones.
Golf club clones are golf clubs that are manufactured with the same type of benefits and technology as name brand golf clubs, but much less expensive. You get to hit the ball longer and straighter without breaking the bank!
How Much Will I Save?
That depends upon the type of club you are buying and the particular manufacturer. But typically, golf club clones cost 50%-75% less than the equivalent name-brand golf club. You can check out some of the great deals we have discovered in the links to your left. As an example, A new Nike Sumo Squared costs $399. A Gigagolf Ozzy Moto (a Sumo Square clone) costs $99. I bought one and now hit the ball 30 yards farther and much straighter. My score went down about 5 strokes per round and I actually have fun playing golf now. All that from one club! I can't wait to change the other clubs in my bag!
But are Clone Golf Clubs as Good as Name-Brand Cubs?
Clone golf clubs are manufactured with high-quality components and usually are very close to being as good as name-brand golf equipment. While professionals might be able to tell a difference, most amateurs cannot. Here is a square golf club review that we found that tells about some test where top amateurs couldn't tell the difference between a Nike Sumo Squared and a Ozzy Moto from Gigagolf.
Why are Cloned Golf Clubs so Much Cheaper?
There are two basic reasons: Endorsements (advertising) and R&D. Large Golf equipment manufacturers like Nike, Callaway, Titleist and Taylor Made pay touring professionals huge amounts of money to play their clubs and to wear their logos. Guess who pays for that? You do, if you buy their equipment.
The large golf companies also employ full time researchers and engineers who develop the new technology. But once the technology has been developed, component manufacturers can develop a similar type of design much more cost-effectively.
Clone Golf club manufacturers save you money by not paying huge endorsement fees to professional golfers and by using existing components rather than developing new ones.
Are Clone Golf Clubs better than the clubs sold at Walmart?
Yes they are. The golf clubs sold at discount stores like Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc. might have okay head components, but where they really suffer is in the shaft. The shaft is one of the most important parts of the golf club to get right. Off the rack golf clubs use low end shafts which don't don't allow you to play your best golf unless you hit the perfect shot.
Quality clone golf clubs are assembled with much higher quality shafts which help the golf ball soar off your club face and fly long and straight. Most of the clone golf club companies will also allow you to customize your club specifically for your sing speed (based on how far you hit various clubs) and how tall you are. This allows you to have a shaft that is perfectly matched to your swing, your body and to the head component being used.
Are These Golf Clubs Legal?
Absolutely! These clubs are NOT pirated imitations. Pirated golf clubs are counterfeits, sold as if they were the name-brand club and even have a fake name-brand logo on them.
Clone golf clubs do not pretend to be name-brand golf equipment. They are assembled from quality components with quality control standards and are backed by the manufacturer warranties. Pirated clubs have no quality control and no warranties or customer service.
