Clone golf club is generally thought of as a replica of a brand name club, or one that is of its own quality and stands alone as a product just as good as a brand name club.
Many clone golf clubs are sold for a fraction of what it costs to buy brand name clubs, and are sometimes referred to as discount clubs. They are also called knock off clubs, but that term is not considered a positive term by some. No matter what you call them, however, they are meant to represent quality clubs for a reduced price, and reduced price does not mean reduced quality.
Some clone golf clubs are even thought of as ones that have been modeled similar to the brand name clubs, but have been turned into something even better. Sometimes these better clubs are even sold for a cheaper price. It depends upon where you shop, and how honest the dealer is, of course.
The production of clone clubs, including the ones that were takeoffs of original clubs, were made with the idea that great clubs did not have to cost an arm and a leg. In addition, these clubs that are made have proved that higher price or brand name does not always mean higher quality. Each club should be judged on its own individual merit.
There are quite a few ways you can purchase clone golf clubs. They most likely have them at your local sporting goods shop. You can also purchase t hem online. If you are looking for ways to find about how well clone golf clubs perform there are ways you can find out. Many golfers, for instance, will talk on forums.

If you are not sure what kind of golf clubs to buy, things to consider would be that of your golf playing experience and ability.
