Who's staff would you join? 2015 Equipment

[RoverRick]

We did this last year, but this year the 2015 equipment is out. So if you were going to join an OEM Staff whose would it be and what would you have in the bag?

 

Ok, Balls and Putters are separate contracts but list them also.

[RoverRick]

Ok, I actually have two choices. I would love to be a Hogan staffer, for irons and wedges. They beautiful part about them, is that they only have irons and wedges so I have a choice of the other equipment. But I would choose the following.

 

Titleist 915 Driver, 3 and 5 woods and a hybrid.

 

But I am even more intrigued by the Mizuno line up.

 

My Mizuno Staff bag:

JPX850 10* Driver

JPX850 15* Fairway Metal

JPX850 16* Hybrid

MP15 3-9 Irons

MP T5 48-53-58 Wedges

 

Titleist Pro V1x Balls and a Scotty putter.

 

What about you?

[Kanoito]

I think I would go all Mizuno bag as well.

Even their balls and putter.

[ZenGolfer]

Id go Taylormade all the way.  From top to bottom, their lineup is just awesome and youd have the best support on tour.

[sp0rtsfan86]

Tough choices. I'm a person who plays the best club for me regardless of brands. 

 

Only two contracts I'd sign were for putter Oddesey/Callaway and bridgestone balls. I am not a fan of Tailor-made irons, even though I game their driver and I wouldn't play anything but Vokeys. 

[RookieBlue7]

I'd go Scratch for the irons and wedges (could change to Hogan, I'll let you all know soon) because of Don White. Then I could have fairways, hybrids and driver of choice. I'd give every OEM out there a shot to dethrone the now 45 time champ, Superfast 2.0 LCG driver, and the fairway would probably end up TMag or Ping. Hybrids, most likely would end up Adams. Putter, that's a revolving door

[Zeasy]

This isn't even hard....

 

PXG, without a second thought.

[fozcycle]

I would go for Hogan irons & wedges, then PowerBilt for my Driver, Fairway & Hybrids.....Putter would be Ping with Titleist balls.

[JohnBarry]

In would go with Grey Goose Staff, all you can drink, better swing, and they would buy me what ever clubs I wanted!! Sign me up now!

[Jmikecpa]

I would go with either Callaway or Titleist through the entire bag. Only two manufacturers that have a lineup that I could play from top to bottom.

[HighFade]

Good one.

 

This is really tough, because I absolutely love my Mizuno irons.  But you couldn't pay me enough to play anything else in their line.

 

TaylorMade (SLDR + RocketBladez)

Putter = TaylorMade (I bag it already)

Ball = Titleist

 

 

I would really miss the Mizuno wedges

[Bogey in The Woods]

Think I am going to have to go with the Swoosh on this one. Was able to hit several buckets with a set of the vapor irons the other day. Really enjoyed the feel on contact.  Didnt have a ton of success with the Vapor Pro driver, but was very happy with how I hit the Vapor Flex. 

 

Havent ever hit any of the Nike putters, so cant really speak to them yet. 

[apprenti23]

Titleist- top to bottom of the bag including ball, glove, shoe, and apparel deal. Done and done.

[wbealsd]

Tough question, I only have 3 major OEM clubs in my bag right now, and only the wedge still has the stock shaft (Titleist Driver/Hybrid & Nike Wedge).

 

Of course, the major OEMs might pay me to NOT play their clubs

This may be the first response I have seen using the Dewey Decimal System.

Last years line up I would have had to agree on the Mizuno, and while I have only seen them on the net, I am somewhat intrigued by their drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids. I recently learned distance is meaningless, it is all about playability.

 

I would really have a hard choice between the MP15's and the MP H5's. And the MP4's are simply beautiful. I play the MP68's now in the mid to short irons, and had the MP33's 4-W a couple of years ago, so I could play the MP4's, but...

[RoverRick]

I doubt any of us have to sit by the phone, but this is a fantasy we can all discuss without repercussions from our wives.

[GolfSpy Dave]

First choice goes to Nike  

then probably Cobra as choice 2. Both have the irons that I like the most this year and solid wood/wedge support as well.

[HighFade]

I've been waiting by the phone for a few years. I think the ringer is broken.

[PlaidJacket]

We did this last year, but this year the 2015 equipment is out. So if you were going to join an OEM Staff whose would it be and what would you have in the bag?

Since I don't take endorsements; I sticking with....

 

TM - SLDR Driver

Wishon irons, wedges, 4w and 3hb

Odyssey #9 putter

MG Tour C4 ball

[Mr_Theoo]

Nike for me. Not that it's a surprise to anyone here. Their irons are very nice this year and the woods perform great. Plus everything is in VOLT!

 

But I would also love some Edel stuff. Their wedges and irons look awesome!

[liv2golf]

Great topic!

I would probably go with Titleist. They put out some quality stuff in the last 2 years.

My bag would look like this:

Titleist staff bag

915 D3 8.5*

915F 15*

915H 19*

714 AP2 4-PW

Vokey SM5's 50*, 54* & 58*

Scotty Cameron Newport 2

Pro V1x

[WelshNick]

After trying their woods and seeing they always make decent irons, Cobra through the bag, though Mizuno look like they have a complete line up this year, haven't had a chance to try their woods yet though.

Ping for a putter and Srixon for golf ball.

[Jim Lee]

Titleist 915d3 driver, FW

Adams hybrid red

Titleist 714 AP2 irons

Fourteen wedges

TP Mills putter

Srixon balls

[Zeasy]

No PXG love? If you are getting a staff deal, I want something not just anyone else can get.

[Hula Rock]

No PXG love? If you are getting a staff deal, I want something not just anyone else can get.

 

I got some drywall screws you can drill into your current set............  Just kidding.

[Mr_Theoo]

No PXG love? If you are getting a staff deal, I want something not just anyone else can get.

If I'm getting a staff deal they should build me some stuff no one can get anyway lol

[apprenti23]

Never heard of them

[Severtheties]

No PXG love? If you are getting a staff deal, I want something not just anyone else can get.

 

Thats why I'd go Edel for my wedges, putter, and possibly my Irons.

 

Driver and woods - I'm really enjoying my Tour Edge stuff. 

 

If you can't tell - I don't necessarily have issues with most of the major manufactures, I just happen to like "different" or things not everyone carries.

 

Ball - Srixon Z Star

[Undershooter]

Well I wouldn't have a problem playing a most manufacturers. Nike, Taylormade, Mizuno, Callaway, Srixon/Cleveland, Titleist, Bridgestone and Cobra would all make my list. If I had my ideal bag it would either be Hogan or Scratch irons and wedges but since that wasn't an option then I guess I would pick whoever paid me the most Lol

 

If I had to pick one because money was the same with all brands then I would choose either Tmag or Nike.

 

Ball: whoever's tour ball paid the most. I like most all of the x versions or lower spin tour balls out there.

 

Putter: Scotty or Nike method is fine. I just prefer the feel of milled faces as of late.

 

Can I tiptoe around this one much more? Haha
