Do you know the inside secret i.e. certain brands making stuff under a different name and it being much cheaper?

As most of us are always price wise can you help get good equipment without paying the big boys prices?

Buy component gear... decent stuff mind you.

Wishon, Alpha, Nakashima are all SUPERB gear that you will get cheaper than most name brands. It's still not cheap stuff mind you.

Some cheaper, quality stuff can be had, such as Golfsmith & Golfworks gear, which plays really solid. And 'smaller' component companies such as Diamond Tour etc can produce good clubheads.

Oh...and TourFit !!! ;)

For fear of getting bagged out by the rest of the WA boys - TourFits stuff is good gear. Awesome forged wedges.

TF, I assume your Kyoei gear is utilising their open moulds (like Vega, Hakusa etc.)?
