Mixed Bag A Good thing?

Tiger and I do have something in common, except the difference in name brand.

I have all Titleist equipment, with the exception of an Odyssey putter. I even have a Titleist golf bag. I have played well with the Titleist stuff, so there is no reason to change for now. I don't play enough to get real serious about things.

I've had a mixed bag for years but then I found myself buying Titleist everything. "I wonder if Titleist has a way of making people addicts?" I feel like everybody else though in saying it doesn't matter what you have just as long as it feels good to you. I have an Adams Redline 7 wood I would never give up. It’s one of those clubs you can just trust... Sometimes if my sand game is bad I'll through in my old Ping Eye2 SW.

The longer I play the less impressed with the need to change equipment frequently. I change things when I find something I really feel works better for me. Thats why my old cobra 7wd., Probably 7 or 8 years old, stays in the bag. I have never found one that did the things I want it to better. Same with the Cleveland wedge. Drivers and balls have been the exception over last 5-10 years, but I feel that real improvement has slowed in those areas also now. Now hybrids? Might be time for an upgrade.

I played with mostly Callaway clubs for four years, changing drivers and putters often to soothe my spirits and occassionally help my game. I've been making more changes, lately, to accomodate my desire to try to manage my way around my home course better: that is, another hybrid to take the place of my 7 wood, new irons and wedges, and a higher lofted driver, which has proven to be a really good move for me. After changing putters quite a bit, I've had the same putter, now, for a little over two years and don't plan to change; likewise, I'd be reluctant to change my driver. I could care less if all the clubs come from the same manufacturer or not, as long as they meet the needs of my game. The most important criteria to me in club selection is suitability to my game and getting a good fit ( i.e. grip size, shaft length, lie, etc. ).

I really don't have a mixed bag right now. I think I'm a little guilty when it comes to tour hype though, i.e. the 906F, Sonartec MD (thanks to Todd), R7 425 TP, or the 905r. I like what works the best for my game but I'm probably just a little to loyal/biased to Titleist products, but I do tend to fluctuate my fairway woods and hybrids. I have 4 "old faithful" fw's, a pair OG Steelheads 15* and 19*, PT15, and a 980F 17* I like to use these every now and again. I've also been trying out my Pop's 585 21* and his Hibore 3w. Oh, and as for golf balls, I'm always using different ones. I'm pretty variant when it comes to those, I often just pull out a random one be it a ProV1x, HX56, Z-UR, or B330S's

Mine is mixed also, one concern I do have though is the different shafts in all the clubs, all of the shafts are stiff but different manufacturers will have different specs. I really regret the driver I bought I can hit it well enough though the original shaft was way too light (50g changed to 60g) and I have so much lead tape on the darn head it looks as though the thing is taped together. One thing I'm fortunate for though is I'm right on the button for standard lie, the bottom of all my clubs show a wear path that is dead even from both ends.
