Putter Clones
How Much Can A High Caliber Putter Cost?
You might be surprised at the cost. An Odyssey White Steel Rossie Putter lists $150 on an authorized Odyssey dealer. And you should know that the Odyssey Rossie is among the best putters to come out recently. Another big name for putters is the Scotty Cameron, and to this date, no other brand names had more PGA Tour presence than the Scotty Cameron Putters. But the only thing is that these golf putters made by Acushnet (makers of Titleist) typically costs around $200.
Golf is really an expensive sport due to many factors. One factor is the cost to play golf.
The cost to play is approximated at $36. This is due to the Green Fee that is required to play EACH round. Then there is the golf equipment rent, like the golf carts and such, and use of other facilities. Then there are the club membership monthly fees. By contrast, basketball is usually free of cost. Some basketball clubs do require monthly membership fees, but usually these are not prevalent.
Another contributing factor is the cost of the golf equipment. The prices for high end drivers could skyrocket at $500 - $600 mark. Considering that it is only one of the golf equipment (let alone that drivers are most of the times used once o9r twice during any round) it makes completing a 14 bag of $200 - $600 golf clubs conceitedly preposterous.
That’s why I’m suggesting you get putter clones.
Putter clones are just what the name implies, copies of the original, achieving designs but without the burden of the heavy price tag. The same formulae and the same aspect design; putter clones should perform more or less what they duplicate designs from. Here are some of my best picks for putter clones. Take note of the price difference.
Inazone R200
Putter Clones To The Nike OZ T100
Nike Golf, it seems to have a store of wealth in golf technology. The Nike OZ T100 is clearly no exception. In fact anybody could “feel” Nike OZ T100 has too much in concept and design.
For all its worth though, the Nike OZ T100 is a winning brew. It sports improved alignment over the original Nike Oz. An extension goes jutting from back of a loop design and merges with another from the opposite face.
There is also a “T Shape” sight line common to mallet putter designs. A big tungsten plug added at the rear of the putter gives a nice balance and mass during stroke. The face has a blue insert that gives it better feel.
The Inazone R200 putter clones is an exact replica, from the encircling back extension, to the T shape sight aligning to the blue insert, Inazone R200 has all these. What it only doesn’t have is Nike OZ T100’s price tag: $139.99. The Inazone R200 putter clones have a knockdown price at $34.
Inazone ZH
Putter Clones To Odyssey White Hot XG
Another noteworthy putter that came out of Odyssey Golf is the Odyssey White Hot XG. Most of the White Hot XG mallet designs boast of a Saturn Ring Plug Technology, an extended inertial mallet having a double bending shaft and a full shaft offset. The club head is precisely constructed of a lightweight milled aluminum for the purpose of having the high density Alloy Saturn Ring weight plug in the most optimal center of gravity spot. It has an enormous MOI that prevents a large amount of twisting during the impact on any stroke. It also has a Two-Ball alignment marker for more accurate putts. The cost for this kind of Odyssey putter is $189.99.
With the only difference of some visual details, Inazone ZH is the perfect replica of the White Hot XG. And these Odyssey putter clones costs $37.50.
The best thing about choosing putter clones is that it redefines savings. You can say savings of $20 or $30 is a bit commonplace, sometimes can be negligible. But when you save as much as $100, you should think twice before passing it up.
