			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good branded golf clubs cost money, lot&#8217;s of money. Even then there is no guarantee that you will wind up with a good golf swing and lower scores. The most popular brand name clubs on the market are Taylor Made, Callaway, Cobra and Ping. There are also many find golf brands available such as Nike, Adams, Wilson, Hippo, Titleist, Scotty Cameron to name a few.  These companies keep a close eye on the competition and  try to improve on a feature or design in order to carve out an edge in the market.</p>
<h1>Clones Are a Good Option to High Price Golf Clubs</h1>
<p>As an alternative to high priced brand name, golf clones are clubs that are designed using superior features native top brand name clubs but at a much more less expensive cost to the consumer. <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://experiencedgolfballs.com/goto/Clone_golf_clubs/1354/1" target="_blank">Clone golf clubs</a> are manufactured <span id="more-1354"></span>using the equal or better design and materials that the major manufactures use. Frequently clone club makers use the same grips and shafts as well. As a result, performance is almost identical to that of the pricey brands.</p>
<h2>Pine Meadow and GiGi Golf is a good place to get Clone Golf Clubs</h2>
<p>Pine-meadow Golf is a good example of a clone manufacture that has been around and delivered top products for many years. They purchase their club heads, shafts and grips from the same group of <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://experiencedgolfballs.com/goto/golf_club_clones/1354/2">golf club clones</a> factory manufactures<!--more--> that also produce the high priced brand name clubs. They have a loyal following because they delivered proven performance results over the years. There are other clone manufactures that are making good quality golf clubs.</p>
<p>An illegal knockoff club is not to be confused with a clone.  Illegal knockoffs violates trademarks, copyrights and patents of another company. They place logos and brand names in all the right places on clubs so they duplicate the look of the original. If you  buy an illegal knockoff in violation of the law since you are buying stolen trademarked products. Clone manufactures stay within the letter of the law and do not make illegal knockoffs.</p>
<p>Golf <a rel="nofollow" href="http://experiencedgolfballs.com/goto/clone_hybrid/1354/3" target="_blank">clone hybrid</a> clubs are a very good investment for golfers.  For those just starting to play golf or even for an experienced golfer that wants to try a new style club without spending top dollar, hybrid clone clubs become a sensible investment. Buying an expensive set of golf clubs will not make you a better golfer. Clones perform exceptionally well and in some cases outperform top brand names. These are great golf clubs with lasting value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;re ready for some new clubs but when you went to the store the prices blew you away. You didn&#8217;t realize they&#8217;d gotten so expensive. Your wife won&#8217;t let you spend the kids inheritance, so now what do you do?</p>
<p>Well your first thought might be to try and find some used clubs. After all how much could club designs have changed in a year of two. You can probably get used clubs for half the price. Why not?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why not.<br />
The top 10 reasons not to buy used clubs</p>
<p>10. They were made for someone else.<br />
Why get something made for someone else when you can get something made that&#8217;s fitted exactly for you.</p>
<p>9. They&#8217;re not the right length or shaft flex<br />
Unless you are about the same height as the other guy, used clubs may not be the right length. If the guy before you was a fast swinger or a slow swinger the shaft flex may not be right for you.</p>
<p>8. They&#8217;re old technology<br />
Things have changed a lot in the last 5 years. Club heads and materials have made golf clubs more forgiving and there are more choices. <span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>7. They may not be the right kind of heads<br />
If you&#8217;re a beginner and need forgiveness, you want clubs that offer super game improvement. That means extra perimeter weighting, wide soles, hosel offset and a low center of gravity. Do those used clubs offer what YOU need.</p>
<p>6. They have no guarantee<br />
What if the head comes off after 7 or 8 months, can you still get it fixed. Probably not.</p>
<p>5. You can&#8217;t take them back<br />
What if you don&#8217;t like them after a couple of weeks? Can you bring them back for a full refund? Can you switch the shaft out at no charge? Can you try them out for a couple of weeks and still take them back?</p>
<p>4. They&#8217;re still too expensive<br />
If you&#8217;re paying over $200 for a used set of irons or over $150 for a used driver you may still be paying too much.</p>
<p>3. Not the right configuration<br />
Does the set have hybrids, high lofted woods, and game improvement irons. If not they may not be for you. If they have a 2, 3, or 4 iron, you may be buying clubs that are too difficult for you and you won&#8217;t use.</p>
<p>2. Not the right loft<br />
If the driver has less than 12 degrees of loft you probably have a club that will not get the maximum distance-or the accuracy<br />
And the number one reason not to buy used clubs&#8230;</p>
<p>1. They&#8217;re used<br />
Need I say more.</p>
<p>Did you know&#8230;<br />
you can buy brand new clubs with a 1 year warranty and a 30 day money back return policy (and you can try the clubs out). You can get custom fitted and get the exact right club length for your body, get the lie adjusted for free, get the right shaft for your swing speed, and choose from a variety of brand new, finest quality grips and shafts&#8230;all for less than you could pay for a used set of clubs. That&#8217;s what GigaGolf offers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>An article by Robert Wilson, Director of Product Development at Giga Golf.</h3>
<p><a href="http://experiencedgolfballs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MP900402495.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1480" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="MP900402495" src="http://experiencedgolfballs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MP900402495-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>In my years in the golf club business, one question I am continually asked is, &#8220;Why do tour players always play golf clubs manufactured by the major brands? If your clubs are so good, why don&#8217;t the players on tour use them?&#8221; The answer is more complicated than &#8220;they are sponsored&#8221;.</p>
<p>Many of the best players are under endorsement contracts. These can be very lucrative and sometimes net a player several million dollars a year. However, every player on tour is a commodity.</p>
<p>When players first get their PGA tour card they are offered &#8220;Tee up money&#8221; to play a specific brand of golf club. It does not matter who you are, if you are in the field you get paid. If you make the cut you make more. If you win the check can be very large.</p>
<p>The goal is to win the &#8220;count&#8221;. Every week the Darrell Survey publishes how many players played with what product. These figures are then used in the manufacturer&#8217;s ad campaigns. Having more drivers in play dramatically increases you chance of grabbing the title.</p>
<p>Of course, tour players would not use the endorsed product if they did not feel they could play well with it. Brand name manufacturers go to great lengths to make sure the player is comfortable with the product. They adjust loft and lie, change the shaft and even customize the head weighting to fit the tour player.</p>
<p>This article is a couple years old, but it illustrates some of the points I am making. In the years since its first post, tee-up compensation has gotten more prevalent and lucrative. It now extends to mini tours and the LPGA.</p>
<p>I do not believe there is anything unethical or illegal about the practice. It is simply a way to advertise and market a product. It is up to the consumer to understand that the reason 46 players on tour are now using the newest generation Titanium driver is in part due to the brand name companies marketing budget.</p>
<p>Tour support is another reason tour players choose their equipment from one of several high profile nationally advertised brands. When a manufacturer decides that tour player endorsement is going to be a part of their marketing plan they must invest in a means to support the players needs.</p>
<p>To start, this includes a &#8220;tour van&#8221; and support personnel. These vans are well supplied golf club factories. They have the equipment to alter lies, change shafts, grind a bounce or anything else a tour player may require to play his or her best.</p>
<p>Obviously, this dedication to the tour player is costly and adds significantly to the cost of golf equipment. However, a tour player&#8217;s support does provide benefits beyond the marketing arena. It makes new product development easier and faster.</p>
<p>Manufacturers that employ tour players have an advantage when they are developing new products. A tour player&#8217;s feedback can be an important part of the development process. This is why innovations like moveable weight ports and 460cc drivers are usually introduced by manufacturers with tour staffs. Companies who follow the trends must wait a month or two before the innovations can be made available to their customers.</p>
<p>Both brand name and custom clubs offer golfers benefits. Custom clubs can be made to fit a golfer&#8217;s physical measurements and are generally less expensive than brand name clubs. On the other hand, brand name clubs have been successful on tour. This can inspire confidence over the golf ball. If off the rack standard specifications are right for you than brand name clubs may help you play better golf.</p>
<p>The idea is to get out there and play. Do not get too hung up on the equipment you use. A beautiful golf shot does not care where you bought your clubs. If you think custom clubs are right for you Giga Golf would appreciate your business. We strive to provide quality and service.<!-- pingbacker_start --></p>
