Let's put the issue about whether Snake Eyes or, as our esteemed member enduro claims, all component manufacturers are glorified "Clones" to bed.

One cool thing I found when I googled Snake Eyes is that Smith & Wesson did (or does) produce heads for Snake Eyes.

I just purchased my first set of clubs and love them as far as starter sets go. Ram G-force's. I've read terrible reviews but had great success with them last weekend. I have played more golf this year (10 rounds so far) than ever before. Previously I was using a set that was my Grandpa's from around the time he was in Vietnam. Blades and REAL woods. Putter looked like I jacked it from a miniature golf course. :) He's also shorter than me by about 4-5 inches so getting a set of actual irons (not blaeds) at a decent length actually enabled me to get the ball off the ground. So far I love them. I'm just in the stages now of trying to get my swing so I wasn't gonna ride my cousins coat tails and get a set of custom Taylormade's. :)

Anyways, I like them. There are definitely better clubs, but there are worse clubs too. I'm just glad to have a set made in this decade. :)

BTW, name's Randy. Nice to meet you all and look forward to gaining tips and info.

Wilson Staff generally don't get enough appreciation.

I'm already in love with the Yes! Tracy putter I bought not so long ago, but you wouldn't hear the praise over the yells of "Sco-tty! Sco-tty!".

How does that 8 year old article put anything to bed? I really could care less (not much, but a little) whether or not they're clones, but I'm just sayin'.

MacGregor. Very sad to see this company struggle and be sold off to Golfsmith. Some of the greats swung their sticks.

My thought also. From 02 on they put out quality stuff, but IMO their chroming process wasn't that good.

I love my 1025 mb V-foils, but I'm a traditionalist

Tour Edge. They are a local Chicagoland company that's been around for about 20 years or so. Many think they make a very good product for very reasonable prices. I agree. Lifetime warranty included.

My bag is now, except for the putter, all Tour Edge.

Bridgestone.

They make sick clubs - forged from 1020 mild carbon steel (same steel as the AP2).
They make great balls.

Yonex, Wilson Staff, Nickent, Srixon.

Yonex isnt all the popular here in north america....dunno why but honestly i would trust their technology in every way because i play competitive badminton and all my products are yonex. Theyve been making badminton, tennis, and golf equipment for many years, so im sure they know what they're doing, 100 percent. Their Nano technology is sickk, and using that kind of material in most of their sporting goods is a good shout out to the other brands out there.

Poor Wilson staff...=(....and I'd love to see more professionals use Nickent...and there's a good reason why Jim Furyk uses Srixon =(

and enduro, i hate to say it your dumb and completly wrong.. Snake Eyes does not make clones or copy other companies ideas.. they make clubs of their own and from their ideas.im not getting "defensive" im just saying you need to do your research before you start to point the finger.

yah golfsmith puts quite a few dollar bucks into R&D; for Snake Eyes/Golfsmith products.


They're original designs , lets be honest people ... how many different ways can you create a forged Blade ? Apex Irons Obviously are Clones of MP Blades...

    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
