Cheap Golf Clubs: Cloning is not Only for Sheep
Dolly the cloned sheep may have been, simply because she was the first successfully cloned mammal, the most valuable animal in the world. But Dolly the sheep was, on the chromosomal level, identical to the sheep from which she was cloned, and no one besides Dolly’s creators are likely to remember that particular sheep’s name. Cloning, when it comes to living creatures, is a value enhancer, but when it comes to golf clubs, cloning is a weekend golfer’s best chance of getting a quality club without dropping a week’s salary.
While clone golf clubs are cheap golf clubs, they are NOT cheaply made golf clubs. Clone golf clubs, which are rapidly getting the notice of the golfing community, are simply generic versions of the best Callaway, Cleveland, and other high-end golf clubs now available. And like the generic versions of some of the most expensive prescription drugs, they offer all the effectiveness of the originals, at a fraction of the original prices.
Every golfer who plays regularly fantasizes from time to time about how much better he or she could be with a golf bag full of the same clubs which are carted around in the wake of the PGA or LPGA pros every weekend. But unless you are able to spend thousands of dollars on a set of cutting-edge name brand clubs, your fantasy will have to remain a fantasy, or so you think.
But you are entitled to think again, because by choosing clone golf clubs over their name brand counterparts, you can save more than 50% on the price of your clubs, and sometimes considerably more. How is this possible?
Most of us in the US, even though we live in a consumer-driven economy, often forget that one of the biggest factors involved in the price of the consumer goods we buy is the cost of advertising. The top of the line golf clubs are, of course, painstakingly designed and engineered, and produced from the finest materials. But once they are ready for use, they are put in the hands of high-priced touring pros who then endorse the clubs, and that kind of marketing does not come cheap.
And when you head for you local pro shop or sporting goods store to get the latest wonder driver which has been heaped with praise from the likes of David Duval or Jim Furyk, you will also be socked with the store markup. There are many other reasons why a set of name brand golf clubs will easily retail for two to three times what it cost to produce them.
Clone golf clubs are made from material identical to those in the branded clubs; the only thing they lack, in fact, is the big name. So if you are fairly new to the game but enjoy it enough to think it’s time you invested in a set of clubs, why not look for clone golf clubs which handle as well as the brand name variety, without manhandling your budget?
