Beginning Golf - Separating Clone Club or Name Brand

By Craig Reese


Ones first purchase of a complete set of golf clubs can be daunting. Think about renting as an alternative, at least for a few times, since it is such an expensive investment. Buying a cheap used set is another alternative.

If you insist on quality, get golf club clones. They deliver the same performance as the big name brands but without the pricey label.

New purchases are always exciting, and it's smart to have some experience under your belt before you jump into the water. Consider your individual body type and your level of play when choosing a club.

You'll want to have the club fit your individual stature. It affects performance if your clubs do not fit your individual characteristics. The more one plays, the better their judgment of style choice will be.

Woods: A 1-wood is called the driver but there are also "drivers" that are dedicated drivers, and not a 1-wood. Fairway woods are shorter in length, the driver being the longest club in the bag. When it comes down to it, personal preference and how it feels to hit the ball with the driver or fairway wood is what matters.

Irons: There are 3 classifications of irons: short, mid and long irons. The high lofts are the short irons and are the 8 and 9 iron. Long irons are the 1, 2, 3 and 4 irons. The mid irons are the 5, 6, and 7 irons.

Putters: Putters come in a wide variety of styles and shapes. It comes down to individual preference and feel as to which putter does the trick. Belly putters provide another point of contact as the name implies. The long broomstick putter simulates a pendulum in order to minimize the wrists influence.

Utility clubs: These are hybrid clubs that combine characteristics of irons and woods and are favored by beginner players who do not want to lug around a full arsenal of golf clubs.

If you are just getting started, it's best to get the more inexpensive clone clubs or a used set. Clone clubs us the same materials and standards as name brands but at much cheaper prices. As you become more experienced you'll develop preferences and then can opt for shiny new expensive clubs or a clone club honed to your specific needs.
