Club champion (formerly TXG) no doubt!!! Informative, entertaining, trustworthy...I watch it almost every day.

I grew up playing Titleist blades, so feel was always very important to me. I definitely am biased towards Callaway and Mizuno for their woods and designing for the masses (callaway), and feel (mizuno). I have always been against Ping because of their look and feel - everything they produced never looked or felt right to me (though I think the G430 driver/woods and the i230 irons look great - I've definitely noticed over the years that there are Ping people and 'not Ping' people. However, I am coming to realize that everything that every company makes now is good to great, and really you have to get clubs in your hands and get fitted to see launch characteristics, etc. to see what really works for you. I have a whole bag of Callaway now - epic speed triple diamond driver, rogue st ls fairway woods, apex pro irons, 2 wedges, and Odyssey Toulon Memphis putter. I have one Vokey wedge that is great because they had a more square grind on their gap wedges than any other company. Also, I belong to a smaller club, so my biases are definitely influenced re: what manufacturers and distributors that they have a good relationship with, because otherwise I just don't see it on TV. Also, my biases have been influenced over the years by my friends who are professionals and who they get sponsored by. I have played the Srixon Z star ball for a few years because one of my pro friends was sponsored by them. He is now PXG who I never ever considered because of their original luxury price points and I agree with everyone re: their annoying ads! but now I'm looking at them differently too.
