I've seen heaps but their all no good.

Beleive me, its better to go with the original, you get better quality, and a warranty.

Copy clubs are not of as good quality and break easily, and then you dont have a warranty so you have no club and you have wasted money.

The extra money is worth it.

Are you talking about the generic ones that are knock offs of the Odyssey 2 Ball putter or putters like the Never Compromise Voodoo or the Taylor Made Rossa Monza?

I had an old set of knockoff TaylorMade Burner Bubble Irons. I remember one time I was playing a par 3. Took out my 9 iron. Hit the shot. Landed on the fringe. My partner said "Good shot." I started cursing. Apparently, he didn't see the clubhead snap off the shaft and land in the water in front of the green. It was the 4th hole, so I was without a 9 iron the whole day. I took it back to the place and they reshafted it and put on a new clubhead, but I never trust knockoff clubs. I recently bought real TM Rac OS irons. Amazing difference.

Moral: You get what you pay for.

Clones = Bad

Companies that make clones are just trying to make a few $$ by copying a design and using inferior materials and manufacturing processes.

I have nothing against components - KZG, Snake Eyes, etc. - but outright clones generally aren't worth it. Also, zero resale value.

Thumbs up

I got one of the first clones of the two ball putter out. It specs are exactly as the original 2 ball putter. in fact it was so good they made the guy take it off the market. so all clones are not cheap imitations of an original, and I do not usually endorse clones but this putter was to good to be true.

and if you play golf,
you're my friend

I'd putt with a cloned broom handle if helped me make more putts. Yes, the major manufacturer's products are of higher quality and you're more apt to receive great customer service if you have a problem, but the bottom line is.....do you make more putts with that $200.00 beauty or the beat up $5.00 garage sale special?

If my wife weren't napping, I'd go check my bag and find out what the name of the company was that made my 2 ball copies. I bought two of the heads and had a standard and a belly putter made for much less than I would have paid for the original. Oh, and I started making more putts. Diffrn't strkoes and whatnot...

I was thinking about picking up a two-ball clone, the wife would kill me if i spent $350 on a putter.
Also, i can understand cheap drivers and irons breaking, but how would you possibly break a putter?
