fairwaygolfusa Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Let everyone know what equipment you have in your bag, and why. Did you used to use other equipment before? What made you change? What clubs work for you and why? We would love to hear.

Moecat Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I chose "Other" because I'm not brand loyal. I simply use what works for me; therefore, the brand of my driver differs from that of my woods/hybrids, which differs from my irons, and so on and so forth.

Super Tuna Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I also have a whack of different makes in the bag but I still have to give the nod to Mizuno. The care and craft they put into their products is amazing to me. Even if it doesn't work for me it's hard not to be impressed. Ping on the other hand still grinds my gears. However it's because they are so close to being awesome and then don't just get there. Seriously, an amazing driver head line the K/G/I's but garbage shafts to go with them. Wake up an smell the band wagon Ping (aside from White clubs)!

Trebuchet Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Same here, no real brand loyalty, I'll use whatever seems to work. But, I do have a strange fascination with Persimmon. I'm currently using a couple Louisville Golf Niblick Fairway woods (5-dc and a Magic 8-ball). They feel and sound is like nothing else out there, and I love the way they play from the long stuff. I've also got a Persimmon driver from Louisville that I love... But it's not in the bag because I just can't hit it consistently. When I hit it right, it's like butter... but you have to hit it on the screws, and my game just isn't there yet. I was also given a persimmon putter as a gift, nice piece, but I don't get consistent roll with it. So it lives in my office as a stress reliever.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted January 25, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted January 25, 2011 Absolutely no loyalties here either. Right now I've got clubs from Adams, Ping, Titleist, Miura, and Callaway, and TaylorMade in my bag. If you pinned me down and forced me to give you a favorite, I'd probably go with Miura, but I doubt anyone would fault me for it.

Matt Saternus Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I chose Mizuno, but my bag is pretty mixed. TM driver & hybrid, Mizuno irons, Scratch wedges, Bettinardi or Byron putter. Open to most things, but these are the brands that have consistently performed for me. Quote Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I went with other because I also carry a mixed bag. But I am loyal to Macgregor blade irons because that is what I have played most of my life. I am pretty loyal to Mac or Hogan wedges. My metal woods are also mixed between Hogan, Callaway and TM.

Justin66 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have Acer XK gear. I recently switched my wedges from Acer XB to Inazone Shadows. My gamer putter is a White Hot XG #9. Why do I game them? Let's see: I own a Callaway FT-3, FT-5 and FT-9; a Nike Sasquatch and SuMo 5000; an Adams A3 Boxer hybrid; Callaway X-20 and X-22's (both Tour and non-Tour versions... not whole sets, either); Callaway Big Bertha irons; an Odyssey Dual Force 2 putter (my backup putter; had an original White Hot Rossie, but gave that to charity), Tour Edge Progressive J/Max irons (another charity gift); a Nike NDS 5 wood (3w went to charity); Cleveland 588 and CG12 wedges (56 and 60*); Taylormade RAC (56*) and Rac Satin TP (52*) wedges; a couple of older Vokey wedges (52 and 56*); Adams Watson wedges (52, 56, 60*); Dunlop Pro Combo irons (made from zinc)... you get the idea. I get just as much performance with my Acers as any of the other clubs I've listed, for a fraction of the cost. Gives me more money for greens fees!

Dave Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 In my bag at the moment I have Adams, Geek, MacGregor, Cleveland, Titleist and Dunlop. I hate everything equally. That said I'm waiting for Ping to release the new Eye2 XGs, help if I knew the price to see if I can afford em. Quote I have a revolving WITB policy.

HillWilliam Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not particularly brand loyal in that every few years my opinion tends to change. Wilson Staff forged irons are what have worked best for me (FG Tour and RM Forged), but in the years Wilson didn't produce forged irons I went to Cleveland and Mizuno. Drivers are all over the map. Marketing hype might get me to look at a driver but only performance makes me part with my money. The least loyal spot in my bag is reserved for putters. Pings, Odyssey, all the way back to Acushnet Bullseye. Whatever works. The area of my game I'm most consistent is regarding balls. Titleist makes good product throughout it's ball line. But for me, they are more the standard I compare the others to and I often don't buy them. I usually end up buying balls that give me similar performance at 20 to 40% less cost. So much for loyalty. Great product at a solid price point is what I'm loyal to. If cost were no object, the Wilson Staff irons would stay in my bag but everything else would likely be reconsidered.

Siamese Moose Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Like most, I have a mixed bag. However, all things being equal, I voted Bridgestone, for an unusual reason. I raced bicycles for nearly twenty years, and had many sponsors over the years. The most generous I ever had was Bridgestone. I know golf and bikes are different divisions, but it's still the same parent company, and I direct my dollars to them as much as possible.

JohnBarry Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I also chose other, based on the fact that if I go hit it, and like it, and it fits me and my game, it's going in my bag no matter who it is. Playing and loving my Ping G15 driver, irons are Taylor Made 10 Burners, Wedges Calloway, 2 Wilson Fy-Brid utility clubs, 19 and 23 degree, and my putter is Bobby Grace!

mizzoulefty11 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 As you can see I have a pretty mixed bag but right now I have a lot of respect for what Adams golf is doing. The hybrids have been a big lift to my game and I have tried to work their other products into my bag. I just picked up a YES putter after Adams purchased YES. When its time to replace my Eye 2+'s I have a strong feeling Adams will be my brand of choice. Quote What's in the bag.

14max Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Let everyone know what equipment you have in your bag, and why. Did you used to use other equipment before? What made you change? What clubs work for you and why? We would love to hear. I'm pretty brand loyal and have been playing PING irons, wedges, and putters my whole golf life. I recently dumped my Callaway fairway woods and I'm now back to a full bag of PING products. I play PING because of the aesthetic, the durability, the quality control, the fitting process, and the options available. I appreciate that they not as quick or eager to change as many companies and that, in my experience, they stand by their products. Bottom line, the brand speaks to me in ways that all others have not.

They were functional, durable, and a bit quirky. Yes, Grant was the guy who doled out the sponsorships to us. Rode an RB-1 the whole season, and did pretty well that year. Regrettably, I never got to meet him, as the deal was worked through team management. But I still honor Bridgestone for what he did for us.

tiger plays 18 hoes a day Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 i prefer cobra for irons, callaway or cobra fro drivers, taylormade for fairway woods, titleist for wedges, odyssey, taylormade, and scotty for putters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWShoot67 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I voted OTHER. Reason being is I'll stick with a certain OEM for particular clubs, ie... Woods, Irons,Wedges,Putters. This year I actually went back to a older set of Cobra mb's for irons still using my Callaway FT-9 TA for driver and woods are my TM HFS 3 & 5 woods. Still trying to find a rescue that I like? And when it comes to wedges I've been using Titleist Vokeys for I can't even remember now it's been so long. Putters I can use almost anything but I prefer a Anser style head and I'm actually demoing 3 right now to see what stays in the bag. I have my Nike Method from last season, I tried my old Bettinardi BB1 Tour Exempt, and a Byron Morgan 007. So that's why I chose other because I just do so much equipment ho'ing that when I find some thing new that works better or I play better with thats what I use..... then again I like the comfort of knowing I can go back to my backups which I know work, if that makes any sense?
