Clone Golf Clubs, What are they

Filed under: General golf talk, Golf Clubs — Tags: , , , , — agmccall @ 11:07 am

Clone Golf Clubs emerged on the Golf Club scene back in the 1980’s.  When they first appeared they tended to be blatant copies of the more popular brand name clubs.  More than a few of these copy-cat companies ended up in litigation due to copyright violations.  These lawsuits, while detrimental to this emerging industry, had some positive effects.  The more reputable manufacturers of “Clone Golf Clubs” rose to the top and the unscrupulous ones went by the wayside.  Today you will find that the term Clone Golf Clubs is a term that has stuck with our industry, but our golf clubs are far from clones.  Our clubs stand on their own merits.  We use the same technologies and talented designers as the brand name manufacturers.  We do not seek to copy we seek inspiration.

Today, Clone Golf Clubs is just a moniker that our industry has adopted.  Our products are not clones of anything, they stand on their own merits.  When you look at Clone Golf Clubs what you are looking at are Golf Clubs that meet the same stringent standards as a Brand Named Club.

A fine line separates a brand name golf club and a Clone Golf Club.  The difference has nothing to do with craftsmanship, design, quality, or any of the other features that make you go “WOW” when you see that new Golf Driver.  The only differences are cost and why the costs are so high for brand name clubs.

Brand name golf clubs have huge advertising budgets along with huge endorsement contracts with golf pro’s.  How much do you think Tiger Woods gets paid from Nike or Phil Mickelson and his Callaway deal.  I would venture a guess that these deals alone are worth Millions of dollars.  Take a look in any golf magazine and you will see ads with Pro after Pro hawking their “Favorite” Golf Clubs.

Clone Golf Club companies do not have to worry about those costs and can therefore, pass those savings onto you the consumer.

One final thought.  Just do the math.  A Brand Name Golf Driver costs upwards of $500.00 and a Clone Golf Driver costs around $89.00  at about $35.00 for a round of golf you save 12 rounds of golf.  Clone Golf Clubs, Heavy on Style, Heavy on Quality, Light on the wallet.
