Pinemeadow Golf

I stumbled upon Pinemeadow Golf today while searching the internet. They have very inexpensive clubs/drivers that they say perform like other big name brands. They are a clone manufacturer of course. I just wanted to know how everyone felt about clone manufacturers and if it is worth the money. It would be pretty sweet to save $800 on a set of irons.

I bought their Tour 780 driver (TM R7 clone) and a 3 & 4 hyrbid clone of Callaway Heavenwood and TM Dual Rescue. The Driver was o.k., lightweight but had a weird aluminum bat sound to it (replaced it with a TM R7 Draw and I have to say the real R7 worked great). As for the hyrbids, I haven't hit my new TM mid rescue to compare it to yet, but I've hit my two clone hyrbids the same length as my friend who've used Nickent hybrids. They do have fast shipping and a good warranty.

I'm waiting for a review of their Bloc square driver.

So for the money you would say its worth it... at least for the hybrids? Where are you getting the reviews from, their website or somewhere else?

Yes for the hybrids they were pretty good based on my experience from using them. The Excel hybrid from PM is a clone of the Callaway Heavenwood, but after holding the actual Callaway the Excel was a bit lighter. The hybrid I can recommend from PM is their Comman Hyrbid, the #4 I used was very accurate and well made. The driver I had, Tour 780, I rate a 3 out of 5 for distance and accuracy. I would give it a 3.5-4 if it didn't make a tin sound after it was hit.
