Torn between buying top brand or clone discount golf clubs and golf sets? Check out our guide below.

Discount golf clubs or clones?

So what's the difference between discount golf clubs and sets and �clones'? Traditionally these terms were interchangeable indicating �own brand' golf clubs at discount or value-prices that use similar materials and designs as the top brands.

But you should make the distinction between the popular brands sold at discount prices through online stores like golfoutletsusa.com and the cloned clubs.

The cons of clones

The problem with some clone discount golf clubs and golf sets is that they don't always live up to the promise of using top designs and material at value prices. There are club manufacturers who profit from cheaply produced clubs that have a resemblance to a top well-known brand, so you should always be wary buying clone or discount golf clubs and golf sets. Always buy your discount golf sets from a reputable store.

The pros of clones

On the other side of the coin, there are manufacturers out there who offer discount golf clubs and sets using new design materials and trends to produce good quality clone clubs. There are ways to ascertain whether discount golf clubs and golf sets are good quality. Always:

• If buying online, check the website is of high quality, up to date and professional looking
• Check there is an investment in customer service and quality control.

Clone golf clubs and sets can however be of the same quality of the top brands but at discount rates. The reason for this is they can sell direct from the factory, especially when you buy online, which cuts out the percentage dealers would take.

$100 million endorsement

Discount pricing is also available for clone golf clubs and sets because they don't have the huge marketing costs the big brands have, including advertising and endorsements. Nike paid Tiger Woods $100 million to be their face for five years, so a huge amount of the company's money is spent not on the products themselves but the image. Brand image is factored into the cost, whereas clone or discount golf clubs and sets don't have infrastructures of marketing and advertising to pay for, which is reflected in the low prices.
