Short version: Are clone golf clubs an acceptable route for a beginning golfer (only looking at fairway wood sets)?
I started playing golf this year and I decided it was time to get my own set of golf clubs. Luckily, I knew somebody that had some used clubs for sale and I've pretty much gotten my beginner set sorted out, but what I don't have are fairway woods.
I got a loaner set (of random ones, btw) but I've decided to go ahead and get my own because I really want to have a complete set and only play with it. So I've been looking around at fairway woods (I'm sure you all know what a daunting task that is) and I'm not sure what to do. I'm terrible at the game, I'm just learning... so I'm not interested in spending a lot of money because I don't think that great clubs are going to make me a great golfer.
Anyway, I've stumbled around companies that have more reasonably priced clubs that seem to get some good reviews and I started realizing that most of the clubs are just more "affordable technology," but clones of more expensive clubs.
Any thoughts on if they are worth using for the price?
