GB13 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Umm, what? Titleist seems to be going against its brand identity lately. I personally don't like flat bill hats, and the people that do, would be more inclined to gravitate toward Cobra. Although, all that said, for a flat bill hat, they look pretty good.

I generally agree with you, but there's always been something about the way Charlie Hoffman pulls his off. Maybe it was when he had the surfer dude haircut it was a bitter fit. But yeah, not sure I could make it work for me.

BIG STU Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 They were showing those over on WRX the other night. Man it was funny on the comments. The flat bill guys did not like the rope and the old rope guys like me did not like the flat bill. I am going to get one when this storm passes and do exactly like I told Theoo put the bill in a QT Mason jar and let it sit a night or so. Ha Ha will piss off both sides of the tracks with that one. What is funny the other thing is I no longer play a Titleist ball or carry any Titleist clubs unless I have the rusty Scotty in the bag. LOL the bag a early Ping Hoofer and not a Ping Club in it. That hat may look good Redneck style with my Blues Brothers shades and cigar though. Personally I like it even with the flat bill Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

SteddyGolf Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Those pics made me laugh because at a certain age you out grow flat bill hats lmao. Love the effort though because Titleist is trying to market to a younger crowd which in turn will grow the game. Pretty cool but I doubt they will sell.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Never have owned a flat billed hat per say. Some folks will buy them and not admit it on open forum because it is Titleist after all. Seriously hope they do ok with those because the folks at Titleist have families to feed too. But if they don't they will be on the reduced isle or on Amazon cheap and us Southern guys and one guy from the Columbus OH area know how to modify them Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Mr. 82 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sooooo....let me get this straight. You want me to buy a hat with a OEM logo on it? Seems to me that if Titleist wants me to wear their brand, they need to be coughing up some $$$ to me. Otherwise, I've got about 100 non-OEM hats to choose from at the homestead that fit just fine.

I have several plus visors but never bought one per say cash. Most of the Titleist stuff I got when I was on a deal with Titleist when we had the golf store and played the minis some. Others I got for free a late friend of mine was I guess you could say a hat and visor ho. Everywhere he went he got a hat or visor. When he passed his wife gave me about 50 or 60 hats and visors unopened in the plastic. Everything from Addias to Ping. Mostly now days I wear a Pukka floppy hat that the GM at a course below me gave me or one of my straw wide brimmed hats from Goodwill at $1 each. Funny hat story and shows you I do not give 2 rips about being "golfing correct" brand wise. I found a TM R-5 hat at Goodwill mesh style ball cap brand new in the plastic for $1 one day. Heck yes I bought it. Was wearing it on the range one day and these 2 tourist golfers showed up dressed to the 9s looking like they just stepped off the TM Tour Van I mean hats staff bags and all. I basically had the clubs in my signature in a raggedy old Titleist Stand bag. One of the guys looks over his nose at me and comments "R-5 man that is OLD !" I did not bat an eye told him yeah you think that R-5 is old look at those 2 V-Steel fairway woods in my bag and if you think they are old check out my Macgregor irons. They looked shocked. The V-Steel 7 wood I have owned darn near 15 years now and is on it's 3rd shaft due to me getting old Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

bens197 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is the shift of Major OEM's listening to their customers. The Charley Hoffman green mesh SnapBack was one example of the public begging them to make this. They followed suit. Titleist has been for so long the band that plays whatever they want and wouldn't ever take a request. If this is the trend then I hope hope hope that there is an x5 welded flow neck in the works.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy They need to bring ALL of Rafa's hats to public sale. I don't really wear hats, but that man has some serious style with his colors. I was a Titleist fanboy for many many years, I still like them a lot. Not sure what they'd have to do to earn me back... but it probably wouldn't be much. I took my old DCI OS irons to the range a few days ago... if they didn't have a mile of offset I would put them bag in the bag. For a cast club, they were butterish. Shouldn't have sold my 990's... â˜¹ï¸ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This fits Cameron Smith perfectly. He dresses classically, but is a young dude. This is as throwback/classic as it comes. I don't do flat bills but if I did this would be it. Has to have a slight curve, not the rubber band wrapped around a Copenhagen can soaked in water and let dry for 3 days curve... I just look dumb in hats, and I wear one at work a lot so when I don't have to I don't wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
