Why Clone Golf Clubs Can Benefit Your Game

For a start, the main manufacturers of clone golf clubs are fully fledged golf companies. Their own research and development departments create club designs that are manufactured using the same materials as the big OEM's. These clubs include the same design features such as club volume, moment of inertia and cavity backs, to name just a few.

The rules of golf lay down strict limits when it comes to club design. Club heads have to conform to these restrictions, otherwise they are considered non-conforming and prohibited for use in competition play. That's not limited to the pro tours either. Using a non-conforming driver in your monthly medal may well see you being disqualified.

The top manufacturers of golf clones will submit their clubs to the game's governing bodies for approval (USPGA in the USA, R&A in Europe) same as all the big OEM's. This is an expensive undertaking and nobody selling shoddy knock-offs would go to the expense and effort of submitting their clubs, only to see them turned down.

Take a driver 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 manufacturer to say their drivers are under 460 cc. The USPGA and the R&A have to say they aren't. If they are under the limit, they are listed on the Conforming Driver lists. If they fail the test, they are listed on the Non-Conforming Driver lists.

Quick note here. Some manufacturers of cheap knock-offs trumpet their drivers as being conforming pointing to the fact that their drivers are not on the non-conforming lists. That simply means they haven't been submitted for testing. Conforming drivers go on the conforming list. If a club isn't on the non-conforming list, it isn't necessarily conforming.

Creating conforming clubs takes a lot of attention and a lot of manufacturing skill. Get the build process wrong by a fraction of a percent and the clubs could well end up being non-conforming. Volume isn't the lone limit the rules make. With limits on club-face recovery for instance (the Coefficient of Restitution) being affected by even the smallest variation in face thickness, tight controls in the manufacturing process is crucial.

Clones from the top producers conform to the rules of golf and will make a much smaller dent in your wallet. Manufactured from the same materials as the big OEM's and with the same (or better) golf shafts, these are top quality clubs that will make golf that much more fulfilling. As a bonus, many of the top line manufacturers offer custom build options on their clubs.

What you get is a set of excellent, conforming, custom assembled clubs that will play ever bit as good, if not better, than those expensive off-the-rack OEM's. And all that without the price tags.

Not a bad deal for a set of custom golf clubs.
