Are all clones a good deal?
(Excerpts from an interview with Pinemeadow Golf)
Previous: How come clones cost so much less than brands?
Guy Mount III: Not all. We could go out there and cast a club that's inferior and have it look really good. Ti-alloy is a classic example in the woods, and zinc in the irons.
If the customer who bought those irons honestly knew that what he was getting for $75 was zinc, he'd go "wow, I don't want that." Zinc will break, it will crack. If you get a stainless steel set of irons that are really good - a nicely shafted set of stainless steel irons - those are going to last you for a long, long time.
They'll never break, they'll never crack. Some do, but oh, say one out of 10 or 15 thousand. It's very rare that stainless steel heads break. The cheap stuff that you'll see at some of these retailers. They may only last a couple or three years before you start having pieces and parts fly off.
