Playing golf can be pretty costly. No no dispute there. No matter what nevertheless almost all golfers upgrade their golf clubs pretty much whenever the big OEM's come out with a new model. We're all chasing the technology and understandably so.
Contemporary golf clubs are much easier to hit than golf clubs from even as recently as a few years in the past. New shapes and advanced materials have made golf that much easier and much more satisfying for the bulk of golfers. Modern golf equipment makes for a more forgiving world.
Shaft design has as much to do with the improvements the way clubs play as just about anything else. Advanced manufacturing processes and new composite materials have given us golf shafts which can be finely fitted for our own personal swing. A golf club is driven by the shaft. Use the wrong shaft and the club won't work as well as it should. Sounds simple and it is.
Shafts and club heads today are designed to be launched high for the most carry possible. No more low drives for the extra roll. Long drives today come with high launch for maximum carry. This also makes for a more accurate drive with less roll to worry about.
Larger club heads, right on the restrictions set by the game's governing bodies for volume and face rebound mean we all have an improved chance of driving well. Bigger drivers are also much more forgiving on off-center hits. Increased volume makes for increased MOI. Higher MOI results in a reduced amount of twisting on bad shots. That reduced twisting means better drives with less accuracy and distance lost.
Golf clubs however are getting pricey. With the new latest and greatest models running to hundreds of dollars, buying new clubs is a major investment, with the newest Titanium drivers coming in at well over $400.
Help though is at hand. Clubs made with the same quality materials as the big OEM's and assembled with the same shafts and grips. These golf clubs are usually referred to as clone golf clubs or component clubs.
Although there are some clone golf clubs which are simply knock-offs of big OEM's that try to cheat customers by using similar names or color schemes (think TailorMade for TaylorMade for example), there are some top quality clone golf clubs to be found, clubs that are designed around their own features and playing characteristics.
These design features are common to most golf clubs nowadays. Such as:
* Increased Moment of Inertia
* Cavity Backed Clubs
* Offsets
* Optimal weight distribution
* High COR
These are design features you would expect to find on the top clone golf clubs. Clubs costing a fraction of the big name counterparts. Throw in the custom build advantage these clone manufacturers make available and the pot really is sweet. High quality materials, top quality components and a price tag that's right.
The ball won't know what just hit it.
