Travel with Clone Clubs

As we get more long weekends like this, more and more people will be heading south to golf. Have you been to the airport lately where the golf bags, skis and oversize luggage are dispensed? There is no security there. What stops someone from stealing your golf bag? At least in airports like LAX, PHX and KOA – you can’t take someone else’s golf bag if you don’t have the right baggage claim tags that matches. It’s a different story here in Calgary, Vancouver and alot of US cities.

With this in mind, I’m ready to order some clone clubs to travel with. Clone clubs play like the real things but are only a fraction of the cost. For example, you can buy a GX Square Ti driver for about $110 and it plays like a Callaway FT-i driver. I rather leave my Callaway drivers at home and travel with something cheaper, just in case it goes missing at the airport.

Golf bags go missing all the time. One time when I travelled to San Diego, my golf bags was shipped accidently to Las Vegas where it sat unattended for 24 hours. If I had a set of clone clubs, perhaps I wouldn’t worry about the airline misplacing $500 worth of clubs versus a $2000 Callaway set.

The Clone Wars

Oh am I ever tempted on paying just $59 for a Taylor-Made Burner look-a-like. There is an Alien Ultimate driver that looks just like the Burner, same look, same colors, same everything. The three things that won’t know the difference is the long ball I’m going to hit, my wallet because it will contain more dollars in it and my friends who will have a jaw-dropping experience. There’s a lot of clone drivers out there that can save you a  lot of money. Most of the good ones that I see resemble the real things but I hear they don’t give off the same sound. That’s ok for some clubs like the Nike Sumo that gives off a loud thud, as though you hit a rock. I think people like to hear that crisp metal sound. Remember when the Callaway C4 made its debut? It was a good club and could hit the ball a long way but no one liked the sound of it when you hit a ball. It also gave off a loud thud, like a baseball bat to a softball. Another advantage to buying a clone driver is that you won’t feel bad about shelling out the dollars for it, especially when it fails to work for you. It’s easier to throw aside a $50 club than it is for a $500 club.If you’re interested in buying a clone, be sure to visit www.goplaygolf.com this week as we will be featuring and reviewing some good clone clubs for under $100.
