Clone Golf Clubs

Great Buy? Or Foolish Saving?

IS IT WORTH buying clone golf clubs to save paying the full price of the real thing? Many golfers have wondered about clone golf clubs, knockoff copies ... and the subject still get heated debate over a drink or two at the 19th hole.

Now, some of the golf club clones you can buy are of excellent quality - but not all. And that is one of the traps. 

What you don't want to do is end up paying good money for a poor-quality clone club. That's being penny-wise but dollar-foolish. Find a top-quality set of clones, and you're going to get some great golf from those new clubs you've just bought.

One thing's for certain, though. If you buy clone golf clubs instead of the genuine name-brand golf clubs, then those replica clubs may not have the same quality-control as the original. The warranty could well be the minimum guarantee laid down by law in your state. So be sure to check this for yourself before you lay down your money.

You may get used to playing your game with a set of knock-off clubs, and you may get a great game. But you'll never know if the game would have been just that bit better if you'd spent your dough on the originals. Will you?

And if you ever want to sell or trade your golf clubs, what do you think the resale value of the clone golf clubs is going to be? Nowhere as much as the real article, obviously. But the lost value could be much more than the money you originally though you'd saved.

And if you add up the money difference over some decades - a lifetime of golf enjoyment - then it's not much more money at all for the real thing.

So be sure to you your homework. Talk to a few players who have used the genuine article and see what they say, then get an opinion on the clone golf club owners. The only logical thing is to make up your own mind.

You only live once, so how do you want to play the game? With a set of quality clubs, or a set of clone golf clubs? It's your call, but I know how I'd choose.

But some people can afford the very best. They go for Custom Golf Clubs .
