How many brands are in your bag?

I am a loyalist who is lost.  But... it is going to take me a  while to get there for a full one brand bag.  Eventually everything will be Titleist... or maybe by the time I decide that I will move back to Taylormade... or pull a Brooksy.... who knows.  Fairly indecisive I’d say.  Put me in the “who knows” category.

current:

PXG Driver 

TM 3 wood

TM Hybrid

Titleist Irons

Vokey PW (on its way)

PING 52 and 58

PING putter

Taylormade bag

ProV1/AVX ball

 

just writing all that out made me feel nauseous. 

the real interesting play is multiple wedge brands.  I'm not sure I could do that! haha

Right?!  That's one part of the bag where I'd need some consistency.  I'm going to upgrade to SM8's (probably) soon and while there is a lot less wear on my 54 than my 58, both of them are being replaced.  In other words, I won't mix an SM8 with an SM7 (silly I know), can't imagine different OEMs altogether.

Not saying there is necessarily anything wrong with it if it works for you, I'm just too particular probably.

I did read something on if you play GI or Super GI irons, but still like a traditional wedge, using something like a CB wedge in the PW/GW area could be a good way to blend forgiveness down the line.  I guess I could see myself doing that, but they would need to visually blend well.  And even then I probably wouldn't like it.

Well, fortunately I don’t have the Vokey yet... because I am sure the PING’s will be gone quickly.  It was an experiment with the Glides.  Great wedges, huge footprint.

Trust me... the sight of them now is making me browse the wedge pages of the online retailers.  If you know me at all, I think the wedge is the best club in the bag.  So to have multiple different kinds drives me nuts.

I used to be well diversified! Titleist/Cleveland driver, Ping/Nike Woods, TM/Off-Brand Irons, Cleveland/Ping/Cobra wedges, etc... But getting fitted over the past couple years has lead me to my current setup and I'm quite pleased. One thing that won't change for awhile is my putter. I've tried about 4-5 different ones at this stage and ole trusty Ping Anser 2 keeps finding it's way back into my bag!

 

[Berg Ryman]

Well let's see, Mizuno Driver (could be changing for 2021), Callaway 3 wood, Cobra 5 wood (likely a change for 2021), Ping irons, Mizuno and Honma wedges, and Nickent putter (probable change for 2021).

So 6 brands right now, a guarantee of at least 4 brands going forward depending on fitting and potential club changes. Weirdly could get to 7 which would be wild!

[Jmikecpa]

Three, all PXG but the three wood and the putter.

PXG sure does have an ever growing fan base!  Everyone I know who has made the switch to them has commented that they are outstanding!  What made you give them a shot?

I used to be the same but the past two seasons I've played two brands in my wedges. (Callaway and Taylormade)  I've finally come to my senses  and will be going one brand this upcoming season.  But I do get the OCD piece cause I'm fairly the same.

You would have hated when I played Wilson's FG Tour wedges then, chrome in the 50*, Gunmetal Blue in the 56*, Black in the 60*

[fozcycle]

About 5 or 6:

Driver Tour Edge

Fairways Cobra

Hybrid Tour Edge

Irons Wilson

Wedges Wilson & Cleveland

Putter Slotline

Short answer, I have owned just about everything else amd wanted something different. Long answer, I have a buddy on staff with them that set me up with their tour fitter and I really liked the irons and wedges a lot. The driver and hybrid have grown on me and never got along with the 3 wood. After one season these are the best irons I have played in the last 10 years hands down.

Awesome Brotha!  Tour fitter experience, you flat out couldn't do any better for your game tbh!  

But your comment about the last 10 years doesn't surprise me. I actually heard the same thing this year during our Club Championship.  We were comparing newer clubs (Mizuno to his PXG) A good friend of mine got an entire bag I think he said when they had the military discount going on, special pricing I believe.  He said hands down it was the best move he's made in years! 

Though that was in regard to the irons.  The woods were another story.  He wasn't completely sold on them yet and contemplating switching back to some of his others.  I suspect that was probably that new club reaction that we all get in the first season.  

Good stuff bro!

[19hole]

Only one manufacturer in my bag. 

[BIG STU]

Well for me in the stages of experimenting only 5--- Put my signature to the side for now because more than likely It will be back

Driver Honma G1-X not going anywhere

4 wood Adams Tight Lies not going anywhere

5 Wood Old Adams Tight Lies kinda like the new ones just 15 years old

Irons 5 thru PW ( gasp) Honma G1-X XP-95 steel gasp again CBs

GW Callaway X Forged 52* God only knows what shaft rusty found on scrap pile

SW Cobra Phil Rogers Trusty Rusty 56* God Only knows what shaft too rusty found on scrap pile too

Putter 1997 Scotty Cameron Santa FE Bulls Eye Fluted shaft rusty and lead taped and yes found on scrap pile

Bag Old School Jones Original non stand

Balls depends either Srixon Soft Feel or Q Star or Cally Super Soft. I have won so many dozens in the past year in the Dogfights or 9 and dine I just grab what ever is at the top of the stack in the back of the Benz.

Gloves either Wally World Wilson or I have won a couple of Srixon in the events

[juspoole]

I always like to try different things.  Some manufacturers I have a biased towards and may not like one thing or another.  For example, unlikely that I'll ever have Taylormade irons.

Mine is a little mixed but nothing crazy.  I know my signature has this but I'll repeat.

Driver - Callaway, great driver - low spin for me and paired with the Ventus shaft has been more accurate with better average distance than anything I've ever had

Hybrids - Titleist 818 H2 2 (18) and 3/4 (21.75)  Love the look and can really trust my hybrid off the tee.  Do not carry a fairway wood at this time as I can top out on my 2 hybrid almost 250 so really never use a fairway wood.

4 iron - Mizuno MP 20 HMB - still getting along with this one.  It replaced the stock 4 iron I had in my set

5 - PW - Mizuno MP 18 SC - love these irons, simple as that.  Provide a great look with phenomenal feel and some forgiveness.

GW - Titleist SM6

SW - Titleist SM8  - Went with a higher bounce this year over previous.   Have been a Vokey guy for a while now.  The feel and weight are just what I'm used to I guess.

LW - Callaway Jaws - Tried this after seeing a lot of good reviews.  Like it, don't love it so far.

Hit Srixon irons for the first time a few years ago and was impressed as well.  With the new ZX7's coming out, it could be something I try.

1 - Pinemeadow      |> putter

10 (maybe) - Lovett  |> hybrid wedge  (might keep it but maybe not)

One day the stars will align and many of these will be replaced by a set of 1Iron Golf clubs.  Yes I know Saturn and Jupiter on December 21st will be so close as to look like one bright star.  But my "She who must be obeyed" star will not have aligned yet... 

I know you and I have discussed your equipment set up before and as we discussed I like it. You have confidence in each and every stick

[StrokerAce]

Encouraging that so many of you play what works!

[pulledabill]

Currently 

TM putter

Titleist driver

Callaway 3w

Alpha 5w

TM hybrid

Mizuno irons

 

[Jbmullin]

my current bag and my sig line are not current any more.. 

have Taylormade for driver and 3 w .   Cobra for hybrid, callaway for irons , mix of callaway and vokey for wedges and just put a scotty phantom putter in the bag.  also have a Hogan wedge I throw in . 

 

[heavygolffeels]

My mixed bag is more from pricing and availability then anything else. I'm sure I could play just as well with an all Titleist bag. But I've got at least 6 brands now. 

 

Ping, Adams, Callaway, Srixon and Cleveland, Taylormade, EVNROLL.

 

[Shank Aaron]

Need to update the signature, but I've ended the season with 6.

Callaway- Driver & Woods

Sub_70- Hybrid

Miura- Irons

Cleveland- 50* Zipcore

Vokey- 56* Sand/60* Lob

Bettinardi- Putter

 

Having serious thoughts about going away from hybrids and back to a utility iron since a new Srixon ZX "fell into my lap". 

 

[jaskanski]

Two months ago? Just one.

Now? Five.

Titleist 915D3 driver

Titleist 915Fd 3-wood

Callaway Warbird 7 wood

Mizuno JPX 900 Tour 4-PW

Mizuno JPX 900 Forged Gap wedge

Cleveland RTX 3 54 & 58

Ping Jas Anser Wti

[Missiontoscratch]

Wow, I love that the majority are 4+ brands. I see way too many one brand bags and find it so cringy (unless you are sponsored obviously). 

 

Anyways, 

8, soon to be 9 for me. Gotta earn your spot in the bag. Best of breed only. 

D-Honma 747.

3w-(formerly) PING G410LST

3h-Titleist 818 

4h-Adams proto (favorite club ever) 

5-PW - TM RBladez Tour (getting fitted soon so swapping these out) 

Wedges- Haywood Signature and Fourteen golf. 

Putter - Scotty/EVNROLL, depending on greens. 

9th brand will be my 51°. Eyeballing those Mizuno wedges or Callaway Jaws. They performed well in my limited tests.

 

Many have commented on my multi wedge brands. Years ago and a few times, I grabbed the wrong wedge and walked too far away from the cart. Having clearly different 51/55/60 wedges just makes it easier for me. Same logic for never playing ProV1s, life's too short for confusion on the course.

Good question to pose. Right now I'm down to 3 different brands. It's fun to find the right fit of clubs, whether it's a driver or irons or wedges.  Wedges, for me is a feel and always go back to Titleist. Something about the look, feel & performance. Recently stepped outside the iron box of forged and purchased the Callaway Maverick Pro Irons, new shafts - Elevate 105 S flex (swing speed has changed) lighter than Project X 6.0. I love them!  A lot of good clubs out there. Next try is TourEdge 3W.

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?

 

[PMookie]

Honma driver and irons

Titleist fwy

Callaway hybrid

Vega wedges

Edel putter

Whatever works best!!!!

[808nation]

Cobra F9 driver and F9 3wd, Nike Vapor Flex 3 hybrid, Srixon Z565 irons, Cleveland RTX-4 wedges, and Evnroll ER2B putter. Mix of everything that I think works for my game and looks and feels good to me.
