Popular Post StrokerAce 11,190 Posted December 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was just updating my signature and realize that I'm up to 7 different brands in my bag. This wasn't intentional and just happened. I don't really have much allegiance and don't fault those of you who do; I *wholeheartedly* believe in the play-your-game-whatever-works-for-you concept. This is my <current LOL!> breakdown: TourEdge (driver) Cobra (3W) Callaway (SuperHybrid) Titleist (hybrid) Srixon (irons) Cleveland (wedges) Bettinardi (putter) There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but out of curiosity, how many brands have you used or are using at one time? 12 Quote P G410 LST | C King F7 | C SuperHybrid | T 818 H2 | S Z785 | C ZipCore | Bettinardi SS38 armlock Link to post Share on other sites
BNewton51 485 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I read, I believe on MGS, a long time ago the philosophy I've always ascribed too when I've played my best. No one brand has all the right answers for anyones game. I've currently got 4 brands represented but that can fluctuate in all honesty because I do switch out clubs frequently. There was a time recently from top to bottom I went with Callaway clubs. Woods, irons, wedges and odd putter. That was a forced set make up and honestly it hurt my game overall. In the end, clubs are tools. You gotta have the right tool to be able to score your best. That's what I've gone back too and my scores are reflective of that now as well. 8 Quote BNewt51 9* Sim Hzrdus Smoke "Yellow" Handcrafted 6.5 (Best borrow I've ever made from a buddy) Epic Flash - 14* 3-wood Mitsubishi Tensei Blue X-stiff TSI2 19* Hybrid Tensei Blue X-Stiff -P770 4-PW KBS C-Taper 120 S - 50* , 54* and 58* MG2 Wedges Dynamic Gold Tour S200 - Tour Select Square Back - Taylormade Flextech Bag (Blue and Grey) - TP5 and TP5 Pix Bushnell Tour V-4 - Non-Slope edition *King of taking (borrowing) all my club ***** friends clubs after they've discarded them after a couple months!

Micah T 959 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I’m an unapologetic Titleist ho, but after being fit for a driver and putter, more brands have made their way into my bag. Currently:Ping(driver)Taylormade(putter)My 3 wood(917f2), irons(AP3) and wedges(vokey) are all still Titleist. My new 3 wood will be a Ping, and I did try some TM and ping wedges at my fitting, but ended up staying with Titleist, in the form of some black SM8.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeftyMatt89 239 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I love titleist and could game a full bag, but at the end of the day I like a hi toe wedge for my lob wedge and really like my 2 hybrid/3iron non titleist combo. I try to play what best suits me. And ball I okay Srixon so I guess one more brand. 3 Quote Driver: TSi3 8 Diamana D+ 70TX TS3 15.75 Diamana BF 80TX DI: ZX Utility 18* AD DI 95x Irons: 4-pw ZX7 CTaper 130x Wedges: SM8 50.12 at 51, SM7 54.08 at 56 and RTX zipcore 60 mid - all KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 135x Scotty Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 with Stability Shaft Srixon XV Link to post Share on other sites
Nolan220 739 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 When I first started I only played Taylormade bc I just thought it was a top end brand and I need to all the same brand .. My buddy who is a scratch golfer only plays titleist still ... but after actually learning more about golf and the industry with the help of MGS, I made it a focus to try other brands and it worked out .. I love the Ping G400 driver and my cobra 5 wood and when I played one lengths. 4 Quote G400 SFT 10.

JohnSmalls 6,196 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 getting back on the course this week. I'm rocking 5 different brands of clubs Ping driver, Callaway and Nike are fighting for the 3 wood slot, Nike hybrid, Wilson irons, Ping wedges, and Evnroll holding down the putter slot.

fixyurdivot 10,593 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Pretty much been all PING for the past 35 years but that may very well change after next week. To be honest, the PE2's were just the hot club at the time and the G410's did yield the best results from my first ever LM fitting. But now, having been on MGS for a couple of years, I am woke to other possibilities - so we shall see . 6 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites

Getoffmylawn 2,774 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 5; Honma driver, Tour Edge fairway, Titleist hybrids and wedges, Mizuno irons, EVNROLL putter.
