Lol I realize Callaway is the parent company, but Odyssey was its own brand before Callaway bought them.

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.

Everything in my bag is Titleist except wedges (which my rep has offered but haven't taken him up on it yet). TS3 driver and fairway, 818 H1 Hybrud, 718 AP2 irons, Scotty Golo putter paint filled purple and gold of course with a yellow Scotty matador grip.

Wedges are Mizuno S18 black. Very sentimental to me for personal reasons. After my 14 yr old daughters death 3 years ago i had a picture of her swing turned into a silhouette and had it sand blasted onto my wedges.

Vokeys I could get, but right now dont have the funds to do that to another set of wedges. Yes i could retire the Mizuno ones but it helps me think of her playing with me to have those in my bag.

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
Callaway MD3 Lucky Clover 52° 56° and 60° wedges
Odyssey Stroke Lab Nine putter

I just picked up golf after not playing for a long time. I have been upgrading my clubs over the last few weeks. I'm not really loyal to Callaway, they just feel "right".

Driver - Titleist 975L-FE (upgrading to either the Ping G400, Cally Rouge, or TM M2)
3 Wood - Adams (upgrading my wood soon, haven't demoed any new ones yet)
3 Hybrid - Just bought a Callay Rouge, i love this thing.
4I-PW - 2006 Big Berthas these things are very forgiving.
Wedges - Mac Daddy 4's got a 56 deg and a 50 deg
Putter - Odyssey Metal-X #9

Geaux time 9,

I use to crush that 975 L-FE driver with a EI-70 Shaft.

Blast from the past.

Geaux,

I suggest a Ping 410 and if your are looking to save a few bucks then I suggest the Cally Rouge.

Callaway Diablo Driver
Callaway Diablo 3 wood
Dunlop 5 and 7 wood
Titleist DCI 981 irons
Titleist Vokey SM6 wedges
Ping Answer 2 Putter

I have a nice mutt bag, but I am very loyal to those DCI irons. When I upgrade next year I will get Titleist irons. I will never change my Anser putter I have been using since I was 24. If I ever change it will be another Anser style putter.

The Vokey wedges are new, I was playing Cleveland Tour action raw wedges, but after the flood, I would have needed to have a tetanus shot after every shot they where so rusted. The new Cleveland Wedges just did not feel as good as those Vokey Wedges.

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.

LSU Fan 1955,

You are loyal and old school.

Years ago, I had a set of Wilson Goose neck irons, they were great looking and they performed.

I have a set of those too. I have most of the Staff irons from the 50's through the 1960's. Yeah, I'm ate up with Wilson. I even have a Wilson baseball glove.

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.
