Teach you how to identify fake golf clubs: "Copy" clubs are cheap mainly because the shafts are made of steel fiber glass. The so-called "copy" clubs also have sub-par performance, which mainly refers to the proportion of steel fiber glass in the shaft. Genuine clubs use shafts made of 100% carbon fiber material, and its tensile strength varies by size hierarchy; stronger tensile strength means higher prices, and its production and processing are more difficult. Many branded clubs weigh over 40 grams with a head size of 400cc but nearly reach the kick-off wood. To ensure excellent toughness, the shaft must use very high-quality carbon fiber, which is certainly expensive.
First, let us know how to identify "copy" clubs. Many media outlets distinguish between genuine and fake clubs by price, appearance, level of production process, including product certification, etc., for identification. However, there is one neglected aspect: detecting the shaft of the club. The method is relatively simple: first, check the reverse degree of the shaft (TORGUE), referred to as torque. Reverse degree is defined as: when the bar generates power steering change, the "copy" has a very large reversed degree. You can grasp the handle with one hand and the head with the other hand while applying force in opposite directions. If it's a false club, you can feel the rotation is very large, like twisting a tree branch. If it's a genuine club, you will feel less shaft rotation and at the same time, your hand grip will hurt on the side. The second test is for the Flex shaft, leaving the shaft rod hard, without flexibility or bending and toughness feeling.
Additionally, Callaway X-22 Iron Set with Steel Shafts, under the "copy," the head is also defectively manufactured. As we all know, in complete sets of irons, besides the length of each range bar, the head size is not the same: small long iron, large short iron. Regular club manufacturers, to ensure that each shot has the same swing feel, trajectory, and direction stability, adjust the focus of each bar through various methods, making the entire club maintain the same distance from the center of gravity. We often see brochures from brands above mentioning "proper weight distribution" or "shift the focus," which actually means that. And "copy" clubs, due to cost reasons, do not carry out this adjustment. If players use such clubs, they cannot get the same feeling of stability, and the body cannot muscle "memory" fixed swing, Titleist 09’ Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can Wedge, resulting in a lot of wasted time and energy.
Then, what is so bad about using "copy" clubs? We already know that the shaft used under the "copy" is steel fiber glass, with a very large reversed degree. The consequences are: players in batting will feel the grip face is less attractive and very easy to hit a "right hook." At this time, players will often subconsciously increase the strength of arms and make other incorrect actions to compensate. In addition, the "copy" hard shaft lacks flexibility, making it difficult for players to appreciate the toughness during the swing and batting, unable to experience the "drive" feeling provided by the shaft's soft and flexible bending. This feeling is crucial for beginners to master the correct swing posture.
