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.

For me, the 3 wood and the sand wedge are the most difficult clubs to establish a comfortable level with.

I hate it when I wear a sand wedge grooves down .

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.

My favorite golf shirts are Monterey Club brand.

Their wicking is the best for me and they keep their size and color.

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.

Brooks does have a cool bag and so does Tommy Fleetwood.

You can see the Pro's What's in the bag on Golf Wrx site.

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.

Odyssey is Callaway

The guys who play one brand seem to be the guy who was fitted by an OEM rep or the team Titleist dudes.

I doubt any pro would play all one brand if they were not paid $$$$ to

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.

Funny, everyone tastes is different.

I love Callaway and Ping drivers & fairway woods.

I despise Taylormade woods because of the muted feeling.

Ping is my most admired company, the company as a whole is amazing.

I have zero respect for Taylormade's business model. When they started the shorten product life cycle it created the huge devaluation of used clubs.
