Which company makes the best clubs?

[Tsecor]

We have seen extensive testing in the ball market, outlining performance and quality.  Has testing on drivers and irons ever been conducted in the same manner?  from a quality standpoint, who makes the best clubs? Titleist? Callaway? TM? Srixon? 

I would be highly interested if there was a series of tests that could be performed on the quality of forgings, shafts, ect which outline the best made clubs......them tie that into performance.

iI often wonder if there is a real difference in the products that sell for 1000's of dollars, especially drivers that are now trending towards $1000+

Other than some made for shafts all the companies use the same shafts. Titleist has probably the strictest qc checks of all the companies on the shafts they get. If there is one shaft out of spec they send the entire shipment back. This happened to a buddy who ordered 718 ap2 irons. The shafts were on backorder pending new shipment from kbs. It got to the Ping titleist pulled a set off the tour truck to fill the order.

They all make quality equipment and all have roughy the same tolerances for loft and lie. 
 

All the products are good quality. The best club is the one that works for the individual golfer plain and simple 

a quote from Wishon about shafts. It applies to equipment as well.

“There are few things in the golf industry that have become as much of a sore spot with me as this matter of shafts that cost $100, $200, $300 and even more. Shoot, I remember when we all thought a $40 shaft was expensive! What’s even worse are the uninformed golfers who see these $100 – $300 shafts and automatically form the opinion that if it costs that much, it has to be a really good shaft. 

You want to know what the definition of a “good shaft” is? A good shaft is any shaft that has been very accurately matched for its weight, overall stiffness, bend profile, weight distribution and torque to a golfer’s clubhead speed, transition force, downswing tempo, wrist-**** release, strength and sense of feel. That’s the definition of a “good shaft” and it has absolutely nothing to do with brand, model or price.”

I completely agree RickyBobby_PR.  People can argue about which company makes the best clubs, but it's all about what you like to look at and how it performs for you.

I agree with @RickyBobby_PR very rarely will you see an amateur's bag containing only 1 brand.  There's a reason for that. Even on the PGA you're starting to see player's (with equipment deals) use other brands. For example, Scottie Scheffler using Vokey wedges and Srixon irons/Utility irons. Mizuno makes incredible Irons and that's what I play and tend to gravitate towards when shopping. But I am not a fan of their drivers, woods, and wedges. Finding out what works best for the individual is key.
