Off-Brand/Cloned Clubs

[cooke119]

I played clone clubs from Monark Golf for years, before back surgery put me out of commission for a few years. My friend Don is a club maker, he made the clubs for me. I had no problem with these clubs, the irons or the woods. I did not experience any of the issues addressed above. At Monark you can order clubs already assembled at really good prices if you want. But as I said I had my friend Don fit me and assemble the clubs. It was a fun experience because you get a huge selection of heads and shafts to pick from. I still have the set and sometimes I take them out to play a round with them.

I realize that this is a very old thread, but for what it's worth as far as clones and in particular the King Snake's. When they first came out, way back when, I had a friend that was in the club business. He ordered 12 sets of snakes from a distributor in California. When they arrived, only 8 sets were King Snake, the other 4 sets were King Cobra's. When he notified the distributor about the mix up, he was told to just keep the Cobra's, but for informational sake, he was further told that Cobra actually produced the Snake. So Cobra cornered the clone market on their own product. If you place a Cobra and a Snake side by side, the only difference is in the name and it's the same number of letters. IMO, very smart on Cobra's part for removing the competition in the clone market, as far as their club was concerned. No for clones in general. Everything is made in China, even the name brands and I've had some name brands that played like crap and clones that played great. If spending big bucks is not a problem and thinking that your going to get the same equipment that the pro's play with, well I've got a bridge and some beach front property that can be had fairly cheap..........

I've played a number of clone models and based on my experience with them I would recommend Pinemeadow golf as consistently best quality and performance.  In fact I still play Pinemeadow brand fairway woods as they are easy to hit and far less expensive than most OEM brands.

You might want to check out their website.

Good luck .

So, after all this discussion and all the supporting chatter for "quality" clones and component club makers you've never offered a link to the website you initially referred to.
