Guys who i know that played golf, always claimed, that their equipment was always inferior to the others, and Tiger proved, by winning with their shite clubs, how good he really was, during his run.
Truth? Or just Ping,Titalist,Cobra,etc fanboys?

Nike engineered his clubs to get similar test results to his old sticks.
Nike's exit is moreso about the ridiculous contracts they had with Tiger/Rors/Wie, etc. As a golf club manufacturer you need to stick to a specific strength (i.e Adams w/ Hyrbird, Cleveland with wedges, etc.).
The game is too broad to appeal to everyone unless you just make a better product, which is almost impossible now with so much data available. The only exception is golf balls and Titleist with Pro-V1, but that isn't a guaranteed share forever.

Their equipment got better as time went on, but it's still not very popular, and their club styling has become kind of odd. It's always been pretty expensive for their target audience as well.
I've hit everything they've made in the last 8 years or so, and everything since the Covert stuff came out has been very solid. Their current Vapor series irons have all been very good IMO, but I couldn't see myself actually buying them.
