With name brand golf clubs costing a good part of your paycheck, clone golf clubs have gained favor with many weekend golfers that are looking for an edge. With new technology advancements, the clone golf club has been able to compete with the likes of Callaway, Nike, Taylor Made, and other top brand clubs. Golf club clones are one of the most popular ways that golfers are improving their game, while not taking out loans to play it.

Clone golf clubs are clubs that have been reverse engineered from a name brand version of the club. The club could be based on Nike, Callaway, or some other famous brand. This is why golf club clones are some times called 'knockoffs'. The reverse engineering is done by taking apart the model club, say a Nike, and analyzing its various parts. Aspect such as material, weight, and geometry are measured and adhered to as much as possible. The resulting analysis will become the baseline for developing the clone golf club.

Special attention is given to avoid breaking patents. Patents are required to disclose the optimal design of any device the patent applies to. The designer needs to disclose the 'best' possible configuration of inventor's design in order to be granted the patent. This does not mean that the patent has the best version of the design, but it needs to be the best design known to the inventor at the time of patent prosecution. Furthermore, the patent application needs to be obviously the best design to the patent inspector, or the patent will be rejected. That said, it is implied that golf club clones are inferior to their 'knocked off' versions due this stipulation. But remember, that a patent is not necessarily the best design, so there could be improvements made by clones. Performance may be hampered by clone golf clubs deficiencies, but the cost savings may be more than offsetting. So you need to ask your self: "How much is my golf club going to help me?"

Since attention has been set on critical geometries, clones are beginning to look a bit more like their cousins stylish designs. Take the Acer XP 905 set of clone golf club irons. They look as good as any brand name. A golfer will not feel like a second-rate player with this set of clone golf clubs in his or her bag.
