How many of you are loyal to one brand ?

I was a 14 club Ping guy for 25 years.
Then I wanted specific shaft in my irons (Recoil) and Pings upcharge was ridiculous while Callaway had zero upcharge.
Today, I have a mixed bag, relying more on making sure each club fits me.
In my opinion, that is the best way these days to improve your ability and lower the hcp.

I say play whatever fits your game. I have 5 different brands of clubs (Callaway/Nike/Cobra/Titleist/Odyssey) in my bag, but type of club has been a different brand at one time or another.
Except the putter. I've always played Odyssey

Have always been heavy Ping. Irons, wedges, and putter are all Ping. Driver has been a Ping before, but is a Titleist now. Have always had Adams hybrids.
Going to go this winter and revamp the whole thing with an open mind. Don’t care what it is as long as it feels good.

I may eventually try to consolidate brands one day but as for now my bag is a mutt bag.
Calloway driver
Tour Edge woods
Adams hybrids
Mizuno irons
Vokey wedges
Wilson putter
Maybe one day I’ll be able to play even somewhat regularly though.

Clubs: woods and irons M2 Taylor Made
Wedges: Titliest Vokey
Putter: Scotty Cameron
I’m not loyal.
Will probably upgrade to a ping iron set next.
May switch drivers as well.
Love my wedges
Shoes: like footjoy and adidas
Shirts: whatever.
Golf balls: prefer some of the “softer” balls like AVX, Supersoft, etc. I can play with any of them.

I’m a complete sucker for some Mizuno irons. I would say that’s probably the only place in my bag I’ll keep the same brand barring a total collapse in performance and looks.

Pretty tough nowadays. Look at pros, a vast majority of them can't stick to one brand because no one manf'er makes the best of everything. Brooks has the best bag from woods-irons-wedges.
I've been brand loyal to Mizuno MP irons. Haven't left the brand since 2003 MP-30's.
30s
52s
62s
25s
I've had the same putter since highschool TeI3 Newport 2 but we've had better days as of late.

I played Taylor Made irons for years before switching to Mizuno this year. I’ve had Ping metal, then Nike for awhile and now I play Titleist.
Putters are embarrassing. Back in 2005-2006 I fell in love with a Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless at a golf show but didn’t want to spend the cash. Over the years I’ve been through 3 odyssey’s, a stint with a Yes Tiffanie (which I really liked but had zero feel) and back to an Odyssey.
I ended up finding the same Scotty on EBay three years ago and bought it on impulse. Arguably it probably will never leave my bag again.

I love my Mizuno irons, and will probably be in the bag for a long time. I've had the same putter for a while now, an old Odyssey, and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.
That's where my loyalty ends. I have yet to fall in love with a driver or any woods yet. Getting fit for a driver in a couple of weeks, but more interested in the shaft than the head.

I use to be brand loyal, then I figured out I hit other clubs better.
OG RBZ 3 wood comes to mind. Only 3 wood I have confidence in.
I love Ping drivers though.

5 brands in my bag.
Posted on 8/9/19 at 10:26 am to bopper50
Titleist driver and woods
Mizuno MP67 irons. May need new ones soon, grooves getting worn
Vokey wedges
Odyssey putter
Also carry a "chipper" and idk what brand it is. Looks like a putter but has a slanted edge on both sides. Excellent for on the fringe.

I definitely am not.
The pros wouldn't be either if it weren't for sponsorships.
Choose each club, or set of clubs, based on a combination of look, feel, and data from the hitting bays. And sometimes online reviews if I can't decide between 2 options.

I use what works for me. There are plenty of clubs that look great in the bag that aren't going to help me hit the ball better. Currently have 4 or 5 brands of clubs (depending if you count Odyssey and Callaway as the same brand).
TaylorMade M3 440 10° driver
TaylorMade RBZ Tour 17.5° 4 wood
Cleveland Halo 19° 2 hybrid
Cleveland Hale 25° 4 hybrid
Mizuno JPX-850 Forged irons 5-PW

Odyssey Stroke Lab Nine putter

I have been brand loyal since 1970. I play Wilson Staff Buttonback irons. I just reshafted them with some senior flex shafts.
For Woods I switched from the Staff 11 woods to the Wilson Deep Red II metal woods in the early 2000's. I have reshafted these, just recently, with some senior flex graphite shafts. I'm getting old and can't load the stiffer shafts any longer.
My bag is a Wilson Staff Tour bag, I also have a Staff cart bag.
The only thing I'm not brand loyal on is my putter. I switch back and forth between an Acushnet Bullseye and a Taylormade Rosa.
All my clubs have leather wrap grips.

I'm Ping heavy. Not because of loyalty really though.
I went years ago and tried out irons. All of the different brands hit pretty much the exact same to me.
I settled for Pings. I have the Ping Wolverine putter, but I'm about to replace it with an Odyssey. Odysseys feel so much better than everything else to me. Ball comes off the face much more consistent then my Ping putter.
Also have the Ping G400 driver and absolutely love tht thing (newer purchase).
Cobra 3W, 5W, and hybrid
C130 bag.

I am pretty loyal.
My current bag is Miura tournament blades 3-9 with Miura classic wedges 50 bent to 48, 52, 56 and 60.
I tote a Bettinardi putter but have several Camerons that I have picked up over the years. Taylor made hybrid and r11s 3 wood with a Miura driver.
I am in the process of building a set of 2-W Miura 1957 Baby Blades and just waiting on some new ferrules and grips to come in. Haven't decided to game the wedge or keep the 48 degree classic wedge.
Before Miura I had a lot of Titleist stuff between a set of 690mb irons and Vokey wedges that I still have.
My woods have almost never matched my irons in brand but my irons tend to go all the way through.
