Popular Post StrokerAce 11,718 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 (D) G410 LST | (3) SpeedZone Big Tour | (5) TM Sim Max | (H) Titleist 818 H2 | (I) Z785 | (W) ZipCore | (P) Cleveland Premier HB 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNewton51 496 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 1,108 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 376 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 Cobra Bag Current Bag Driver: Radspeed XB 9 Motore 6X Driver: TSi2 8.25 Ventus Black 6TX Fairways: 3&7 Radspeed Motore F1 7X Fairway:TSi2 16.5 Tensei Raw White 85TX Hybrid: OL 4 Hybrid Tensei White 100TX DI: Vapor Pro 3 - LAGP 105X Irons: Radspeed OL 5-GW KBS $Taper 130X Irons: 4-6 T100 7-PW 620 CB X100 Wedges: Snakebite OL 56@54 & 60 KBS $-Taper 130X Wedges: SM8 50.1, RTX Zipcore 55 & 60 KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Legacy Goods Powell Prototype Legacy Goods Powell Prototype -PROV1X or Prov1 -PROV1X or Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan220 1,146 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 6,306 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 12,341 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 ) B61 Putter (Currently Testing Evnroll ER5v) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getoffmylawn 3,778 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 5; Honma driver, Tour Edge fairway, Titleist hybrids and wedges, Mizuno irons, EVNROLL putter.
