WHat brand would you say makes the most durable and finest of quality golf equipment today...I have to say PING

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

It has got to be Tour Edge... any company that can put a lifetime warranty on their clubs must make them pretty darn well.

You are going to get a variety of responses to this as the question is impossible to answer because there is no correct answer.

Here are my opinions though. Drivers: Titleist (both long and durable) Irons: Mizuno (mmmm.. butter) Wedges: Cleveland (they have been built on their wedge quality) Putter: Scotty Cameron or Ping Balls: Titleist Pro V1 series Edit* Forgot Bags: PING BAGS! I have watched a kid pick his up, throw it on the ground, and then drop kick it! The stand still worked and his clubs were just fine. --Now that's quality--

Titleist 913 D3 10.5*

Adams Super XTD 17*

Adams DHY 21*

TaylorMade TP MB 4-PW

Titleist SM4 54*/58*/62*

Bettinardi SS 11

Leupold GX-3i Rangefinder

Titleist ProV1 Ball

I would agree.

I don't know of any other brands that give that.

All of the large club makers and the top quality custom component companies are very good the biggest problem I see with the large makers is mass production. You know it's funny, based on how many clubs are avalible on ebay I would say most people would be better served investing in professional fitting and custom made clubs. I think in the long run you would spend less and gain more.....bwgolfer

Agreed, although some makers are a little more consistent on cosmetic issues and getting lofts and lies exactly right. Basic quaility durability is the best it has ever been.

For Irons....Ben Hogan. Bring any for spec inspection and you will find the lie and loft are absolutely true to specs. Finish...hard to beat that forged mirror finish and fit.

Woods...I would say Titleist.

Wedges....Callaway wedges. Heck...Roger Cleveland is overseeing the wedge operations since he sold his company off. Hard to beat forged wedges. Non forged...probably a tie between Cleveland and Vokeys.

Putters.... Scotty and Pings.

Bags.... Ogio.

I think this is a very subjective topic. It's like who makes the best quality car. You might argue BMW, but then Lexus has had less quality problems. Then the BMW owner would argue that Lexus (with the exception of the new LS430h) is not on par with the branding of BMW. Then I would argue that anything is better than Jaguar, and that's why I traded that damn Ford in...

In my bag you'll find:

Off the rack, it's going to be TM or Ping.  I voted for Ping, more options for custom fitting, quality control and durable stuff.

If I had my choice, I'd go either Titleist or TaylorMade... However, all of the major companies make good quality clubs and it'd be hard to go wrong with any of them.  What it comes down to more than anything is style and personal preference.

Well, this is really like asking one which fruit is the best overall, apple or pear. Choosing golf clubs is really a matter of personal preference. So, different people will have different opinions on what brand of golf clubs is the best, since no one will or can start up from absolute scratch to experience all brands of clubs and get solid taste of every club. When one becomes a regular player, he has already got used to or been customized to a specific brand of clubs. This is not to say there is no scope of brands to choose. There is a limited group of manufacturers consistently making good quality clubs for sure. These are Titleist, Ping, Mizuno, TaylorMade, Cleveland, Callaway, Nike, and Cobra. Maybe, Adams can be added into the list. My personal preference will be Mizuno irons and Cobra driver and woods. I always say to my friends that buying golf clubs is just like one buying cars. If you like Lincoln, Cadillac or Mercede, go for Titleist or Ping. If you like wider choices of regular cars, go for TaylorMade, Callaway or Cleveland. If you like Chrysler, go for Cobra or Adams. What if I like Infiniti or Lexus, those high end Japanese cars? I go for Mizuno.

Especially in the irons. Today, all the top brands (maybe with the exception of TM) make at least one model I could play - as long as I had the proper shafts.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
