would you recomend buying a clone taylor made burner driver and 3 wood?
i have hit the both the driver and 3 wood and loved them but dont want to spend the money to get them. so i looked at these clones and they looked the same. has any one ever had any experience with the clones.
worked in a Golf factory in hong kong(custom clubmakers) who at the time was casting the original callaway big berthas and king cobra oversize irons and there was no difference in materials used, the only difference was the stamps put into the backs of the casts were different. they were marketed as king snake, crown viper and big bazza irons. having said that, most knock offs are put together by people who generally have no idea regarding swing weight, length and total weight which has a dramatic impact on feel. that’s why you pay the extra for the real thing. also i would recommend checking ebay at least once, some cheap clubs about.

Obviously they look the same, hence the word "clones". I highly recommend against getting clones, because the only thing thats the same is looks. They are made out of different materials and are probably much more likely to brake than the normal ones. I think the driver is only 150 bucks new when it used to be 300. I suggest biting the bullet and getting normal ones for your own good.

If price is a problem you’d be better looking for a set of name second hand clubs. Some pro shops would be pleased to help you with that.

Clone clubs are really hit and miss on weather they will perform similar to their counterpart driver, fairway etc. However they are usually made of different materials (often steel instead of titanium) which can lead to shorter drives on woods. Also i know Taylormade has been doing something with their drivers for along time which is make the drivers faces hot which means that they will supply heavy launch of the face making the club furhter. I have had a friend buy a bootleg r7 CGB Max and said it was sub par to the real model. If money is a problem go to http://www.golfsmith.com you can buy the Tour Burner for $130 its like a fathers day sale and i think it continues after or you can get the 2007 burner or burner draw for $150 which seems odd. These are great clubs i was using the Tour Burner 9.5 loft and stiff until i got my R9.

Why not try a place like Pinemeadow of Giga Golf? They offer clones (not knock-offs) of clubs like the r7, G10, etc at a fraction of the cost. I’ve played a Pinemeadow hybrid for a few years, and liked it. My brother played a Pinemeadow driver, and drove it over 250 with no training. For an upcharge, you can also have an upgraded shaft and grip put on.
Clones- clubs designed similar to "name" brands, but made with the same materials, but no attempt made to resemble the name/logo of said companies. They’re cheaper generally because they aren’t spending near as much on R&D (usually using last years technology- like the X-20′s instead of the X-22′s) and sponsorships.
Knock-offs- blatant disregard for a companies trademark. Like a black club with "Heater" instead of "Burner", or "SV" instead of "SQ". Drivers are usually made of aluminum instead of titanium.
