If you had to pick one OEM for all 14 clubs, which one and why?


Recommended Posts

Callaway. Not only do I like their clubs but deals off their pre-owned site are guaranteed and awesome.

If I ever buy new clubs again though I am going to test Titleist and Ping. I would probably throw in Mizuno and Srixon iron tests.

I can't hit Taylor Made. Not sure why.

I would add that the state of the game for clubs is just perfect right now. 

and BTW: I am AOL filling this out and I have been interrupted every 30 seconds by a pop up ad. Not cool.

 

Driver: Callaway Epic 9 degree, stiff (set at 10 degrees with the movable weight in the center}

FW: Callaway Epic 3,5, heaven wood w/ regular shaft (driver shaft in 3 wood, 3 wood shaft in 5 wood, 5 wood shaft in heaven wood, all three set at neutral plus 1 degree)

Hybrids: Callaway BB19 4,6,7 (4 set at neutral plus 1 degree and 6 and 7 set at neutral minus 1 degree for gapping purposes)

Irons: Callaway Rogue ST Max 8, 9, PW 

Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 50,54,58

Ball: Titleist Pro V1, 1X, Vice Pro Plus or anything I find that day and try out for the fun of it (I haven't bought balls with my own money in at least 10 years)

This is hard to answer!!! I never thought id play ping until i ended up with the i230 irons. Ans i picked them over the titleist but this was prior to the new . With that said i would choose titleist. I now game a tsr2 which replaced my sim max. I cant live without vokeys and would leave odyssey for scotty. 
 

since leaving taylormade sim max, i can see myself replacing my hybrids and that leaves taylormade as the company of the big 4 i dont think i would game all 14 clubs. I used to love taylormade but since having ping irons and a titleist driver i dont see myself ever going back. Maybe cause i play more private courses now? Lol

Tough question as I have a very mixed bag. It’s between Titleist, Mizuno and Ping. Love my Titleist TSR2 driver and Ping G425 irons. Mizuno is so solid across their entire range. However, gotta go with Titleist (especially if you include balls!). Their clubs are so timeless and the build quality uniformly excellent.

If money is no object then I would say Titleist. I would say them because of the wedges, putters and their golf balls if we're counting that. Obviously all of the equipment is pretty solid, but they're definitely at the top when it comes to wedges and putters. 

 

If we're going for a deal, right now I'd say Sub70. I have their 005 Wide Blade Center Shaft Putter and I love it.

Vokey wedges have an excellent grind selection for skilled shot-makers, but for full shots, I don't think that they're anything special.  Cleveland and Mizuno wedges both feel more stable at impact to me.

Same thing with Scottys.  They're great, no doubt, but they don't  really make one for everybody. 
Very few non-offset or face balanced choices, for example.

The ball selection doesn't have a lot of holes, though. They've really got that down.

Still, at the end of the day, Titleist would also be my choice if restricted to one brand.

BUT, before I'd be restricted to one brand, they'd have to give me a hell of an endorsement deal!

Gotta go Titleist. From drivers to putters, it's felt here, that like in the gymnastics all-around competition, you don't have to win any, to win the gold.

My snap reaction would be Titleist or Ping, having played everything from Driver to putter at one time or another for each. Although my current bag is about 85% Wilson their woods have yet to motivate a shift.

Final answer would be Titleist as they have long had first class offerings from top to bottom. Albeit a bit pricey, they no doubt have the full bag covered, both aesthetics and performance.
