Clone Golf Clubs Are Good News For Your Game

In the first place, the main makers of clone golf clubs are true golf companies in their own rights. Their own design departments create club designs that are manufactured using the same materials as the big OEM's. These golf clubs include the same design features such as club volume, increased moment of inertia and cavity backs, to name just a few.

Club design is governed by the rules of golf. Club heads have to abide by these rules, otherwise they are considered non-conforming and prohibited for use in competitive play. That's not only at the top levels of the game. Using a non-conforming driver in your next club match may well see you being disqualified.

Manufacturers of quality golf clones will submit their clubs to the game's governing bodies for approval (USPGA in the USA, R&A in Europe) in the same fashion as the main OEM's. This takes time, resources and is very expensive so nobody selling substandard fakes is going to invest that kind of time and money on submitting clubs, only to see them turned down.

Take titanium drivers for example. The maximum volume allowed under the rules of golf is 460 cc for the club to be conforming. It's not enough for a producer to claim their drivers are less than 460 cc. The USPGA and the R&A have to confirm they aren't. If drivers do come in under the limit, they are listed on the Conforming Driver lists. If they are bigger then the allowed maximum, they are listed on the Non-Conforming Driver lists.

A word to the quick here. Some suppliers of second-rate knock-offs proudly proclaim their drivers are conforming by stating their clubs are not on the non-conforming lists. All that translates to is that they haven't submitted their clubs for testing. Conforming drivers go on the conforming list. Just because a drivers is on the conforming list, it isn't necessarily conforming.

Creating conforming clubs takes a lot of attention and a lot of manufacturing skill. The limits placed by the rules are very strict and it only takes a tiny manufacturing discrepancy to end up with non-conforming clubs. Size isn't the only design element limited by the rules. With restrictions on club-face recovery for instance (COR or Coefficient of Restitution) being affected by even a tiny deviation in thickness of the driver face, tight controls in the manufacturing process is vital.

Clone clubs from the top producers built according to the rules of golf and will make a much smaller dent in your wallet. Using the same quality materials as the big golf companies and with the same (or better) shafts, these are premium golf clubs that will make your game that much more fulfilling. As an added bonus, many of the top line manufacturers offer custom build options on their clubs.

What you end up playing is a set of top quality, conforming, custom built clubs that will perform as good as, and usually a whole lot better, than those high-priced off-the-rack OEM's. And all that without the price tags.

And that's not a bad result for a set of custom golf clubs.
