Hey!

Im currently in need of buying a new hybrid and a new fairway wood. I have looked up a couple of different fairway woods and it seems like the Ping i25 would be a good choice for me with the regular shaft. The problem is that the new hybrid i would like to invest in is probebly going to be a bio cell cobra 2-3 (changable loft thingy) and my current 4 hybrid is a taylormade rbz stage 2 (22 degrees) and my driver is a Nike covert. That means all my four wooden clubs are going to have different brands. The thing is that i am worried about having different types of brands on all of my "wooden" clubs cause they will all have a different feel from one another.

Have any of you guys used mixed brands of hybrids/fairwaywood/driver as described above?

First, Welcome to The SandTrap

As for the question it shouldn't be an issue. I just recommend you get fitted for each one, especially the driver.

I think getting the same brand helps in terms of having the same golf shaft make/model. Again that goes into fitted for the clubs.

For me no problem in using different brands as long as they have the same swingweight (D0 or D1).

Having a D0 swingweight in one club and D3 swingweight in another club does bother me.

I have a Cleveland driver, Cobra 3 wood, TaylorMade 5 wood, Callaway 4 hybrid and Cobra 5 hybrid, can Callaway irons. My wedges are Fourteens but I use the Callaway sandwedge. I would call that a mixed bag and I hit all of my clubs very well. Its not the arrow....

As @saevel25 mentioned, if they fit you I don't think it's an issue. I also have a mixed bag where my driver, 3 wood, hybrid, irons, and wedges are from different manufacturers.

A couple of thoughts on this:

One aspect of "fit you" deals with alignment. I have looked for clubs with pretty much a "square face" look (low offset).  My irons (both sets) have low offset, as do my FWs (Tour Edge Xrail) and wedges (Cleveland CG14). My Adams V4 hybrid and my Callaway RazR fit driver have quite a bit of offset. These are the two I have the most "bad days" with on left misses. I picked up a used TM SLDR hybrid with pretty much a square face, which may replace the Adams.

If you can get woods and irons from the same model, or sometimes just the same manufacturer, you get pretty much the same look at set-up. This saves a lot of time for everyday golfers.

If you get woods and irons from the same "model," often the family will have similar launch dynamics build into the head. That way, you don't end up with nice high iron shots from Model X from Adams, and low, troublesome wood shots from Model Z from Titleist.

If you're doing a mix and match, see if you can alternate back and forth between the different models and still hit the ball with some consistency.

Ending thought: Better golfers can benefit from widely different club types in the bag, while everyday golfers can benefit from clubs with the same look. (Not necessarily same model, but same look at address.)

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
