Popular Post StrokerAce 11,766 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? 13 Quote I got something to say then I'm gonna say it.

BNewton51 531 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 Driver: TSi3 9* 3 Wood: TS2 14* Hybrid: Ping 425 17* and Ping 410 22* (interchangeable with 4 iron depending on conditions) Irons: JPX 921 Tour 4-GW Wedges: Jaws 54 Wedge, Jaws 58 Hi-Toe Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Ball: Pro-V1 and Pro-V1x Hoofer - St. Judes Special Edition Bag Bushnell Range Finder (Patriot Pack) V-5 w/ Slope *King of taking (borrowing) all my club ***** friends clubs after they've discarded them after a couple months!

Micah T 1,337 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyMatt89 548 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: Sim Max 9 turned to 7 LAGP Tour AXS Blue 6x Fairway: TSi2 16.5 LAGP TOUR AXS Blue 7x and Radspeed 7 wood Motore 7X Irons: 2021 T100 4-PW X7 Wedges: SM8 50.08, 54.12, 60.08 Tour Issue S400 Legacy Powell Prototype Putter LAGP TPZ 135 Pro V1 or -Pro V1X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan220 1,735 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 Speedzone Driver Tensei AV Blue or G400 SFT 10.

JohnSmalls 6,652 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. Cobra driver is in the backup/time-out spot. 4 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Mavrik 3w, Evenflow Riptide Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixyurdivot 14,917 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 G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getoffmylawn 4,686 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 5; Honma driver, Tour Edge fairway, Titleist hybrids and wedges, Mizuno irons, EVNROLL putter.
