ShopTalk: Real Clones from China

I'm hearing a lot of business travellers going to China are coming back with a full 14+ piece set of either Callaway or TM's with matching OEM golf bags.  As the story goes, apparently they have duplicated the tooling and sent to other casting houses, so it doesn't even look like a clone, b

ShopTalk: Hitting the ball too high ... why?
