I know a few people that have them.  Saved hundreds off the real things.  Plays the same.

I think all forms of cloning should be banned.  What good can possibly come of it?\n\nThe ones that they have cloned have died at early ages or turned out to be a veg, instead of a sheep

If I were you, I'd shop the used clubs in your local golf shop.  You can find clubs that are like new for half-price or less.  Also, keep an eye on the clearance racks.  There's a lot of good equipment there, too.

If you change something it is not a clone anymore. It has to be an exact copy to be a clone. Your a bit obsessed with cloning aren't you?

Simple - wait until they're on sale, and then buy one.  They should go on sale in about 3 years time.\n\nAlternatively, if you're really desperate and have loads of money, why not join the golf club that is going to host the event.

I don't think it is as much bad, as it is unnecessary. A clone is a different person than the original. It would have a different personality and different memories and a different life. Who would want a look alike running around. The only purpose in a clone would be to farm body parts and that is WRONG.

I had 3 students by them last year.  They paid under $200.00 for a stand bag, irons, and woods.  That is a good price for a set of clubs.  We had a Demo day two weeks later, given the chance to hit other clubs they wish they waited.  I suggest you hit several different sets of clubs before you make the purchase.  The sets the guys had did not have they Hybrids.  I think you should hit some Hybrids before you buy also.  The one thing I noticed about the clubs.  The balance felt strange, the head was heavy.

The only thing that will hold value is a brand name.  I suggest you hold off as long as you can.  I'm sure someone has an old set you could use.  You want to hit as many clubs as you can to see what you like.  All you need is a couple to practice with.  The PGA is kicking off a big trade in net work and offering free fitting.  You may be able to find something  there.  Go to www.playgolfamerica.com and click on the logo.  I see so many new golfers purchase sets the first couple weeks they start the game and always regret it.  After 3 months that have an idea on what club they would like.  You best bet is to borrow or buy some real cheap cavity back clubs for that first 3 months.  I also suggest taking Link Up 2 Golf.  The cost is $99.00 you get 6 to 8 hours of lesson, with some of it on the golf course.  Best deal in golf for beginners, plus they supply the clubs.

one way is the material they are made of.\nthe brand, if the company still makes them\ncall the manufacturer about your clubs.\n\n:> peace

There's no such thing as "perfect" golf club specs....everyone has their own swing and style of hitting the ball....which leads to many different set make ups....\n\nWhat works for me most likely will not work for you as well...

Golf lessons.  I learned it is a waste of money spending on clubs.  You can hit it much better if you know how to hit it dead center consistently.

you should look for some clubs on ebay, you can get a really good deal..... since he loves golf im sure he doesn't want some knock off brand so you should try to get him some cleveland or ping clubs they're really good clubs and im sure you can get them at a good price... good luck

Each company had different clubs, Tommy Armour has gone downhill the last few years, but still has some good stuff. My suggestion is for you to hit the clubs you interested in.  Have someone check to make sure you have the proper shaft and lie.  Hit them again and if you love it buy it.

I know that Adams is making a very friendly set of clubs now for women. A lot of the club manufacturers are leaning toward the hybrid clubs to replace the lower irons.  I don't agree with that idea.  They should give you an option.\n\n One of the best inexpensive sets that I ever played with were called "AST".  The set was about $300 and was worth far more than that.  I would suggest that you visit your local public course that sells clubs and try several.  They will let you try them on the range. Then I would suggest you visit your local E-Bay and attempt to buy a used set if possible until you feel comfortable paying for a custom set.  I would not suggest getting knockoffs!

Yes, if you are going to be a serious golfer.  The professionals get custom made clubs.\n\nWere you expecting me to get angry at your post?
