I voted for Titleist. I like the fact that you don't have to look for the TP or Tour version of their various clubs. I would not be opposed to having Bridgestone or Srixon in my bag, I think they make excellent clubs and balls.

in the bag:
driver-titleist D2 10.5* w/aldila nv shaft
3-adams speedline fast 10 w/aldila shaft
hybrid-titleist 585 17* w/aldila shaft
irons-titleist 735cm w/ttdg s-300 shafts

wedges-cleveland 588, 53* and 60* w/ttdg shafts

putter-scotty circa 62 #1, gun metal finish

ball-pro v1

I voted Nike. I don't necessarily think they are the BEST in every category, but they are my favorite. I just like the look and feel of the Nike stuff.

I´ll go with Ping due to history, engineering and client service.
Also, they make clubs that works, where function it´s more important than form or marketing.

I do love my TaylorMade R5 drivers. Yes I have three of them. One each for practice, league and

This is something I've never heard of before.

Why would you reserve a club you hardly ever use for what I am assuming you see as a "special occasion"? (tournaments, whatever that means - not trying to be a smart arse, but in Australia, pros play tournaments. Amateurs play competitions.) Why not get used to one driver and use it all the time? Specially if you've got different shafts. I mean - do what you like, but what is the reasoning here? If you hit it 10 times in a round is it going tom wear out?

Once upon a time I would have said Callaway. But their customer service let me down severely this past week.

Titleist balls never let me down. Acushnet!

I played Ping irons for close to 22 years and just recently switched to Titleist. Ping has the best customer service in the industry.

I'm surprised Titleist is the leader in this poll.

They are the ball leader in sales, but their ball is essentially identical, or at least not signficantly different from, the top balls of several manufacturers.

Their clubs have a huge representation among club pros, to whom Titleist is more generous, on average, than other companies are with club pros. For related reasons, they've always had a following among very good amateur players (scratch or near scratch), but even that was under intense competition from other companies.

Their club offerings for typical avid golfers (i.e., game improvement and so-called "super game improvement" clubs) have lagged well behind several other companies for years in terms of sales, technology, and independent ratings from multiple sources. There was a bit of a dry spell after the early-mid 90s DCI era.

Their newest clubs appear better than anything they've come out with in years.

The survey results suggest to me that sand trap readers may include a larger percentage of very good golfers than the population in general.

I voted Titleist because I love my new irons. AND I've already started the season six strokes better than my last season start - hopefully a good omen. I did buy a box of Pro V1x to see what they're like, and I wish I had just bought a sleeve. Maybe I'm not "advanced" enough to enjoy the benefits, but I'm just not seein' it yet... I'll go back to the $20/dozen balls and leave it at that. At least until I get those sponsorship deals...

Actually, I am not surprised by this. I believe that most people who spend their time on a golf forum are to some level obsessed with golf, and therefore spend a good amount of time on the course or on the range getting better at golf. Also the Titleist marketing machine (see top of screen) could also have something to do with thier lead.

All of the club companies mentioned in the poll are excellent and I am sure enough people on this website can say they have had a good or bad experience with them all but I voted for MIZUNO ...reason being is that they make great irons (see my sig) and that they are conservative in their approach...think about it when you go to your local golf store you do not have any trouble finding Callway, Ping, TaylorMade or Titleist products as they are abundant...however, where are the Mizuno irons? Usually somewhere near the back, stuffed away in a corner...maybe that is because they are not as popular or maybe it is because their popular irons (MP's) are not for most players (I am still trying to get to that point) but whatever it is I like the fact that the irons I play are not the most popular in the store, at the driving range or on the course...just my 2 cents.

P.S. I also like as I play the Burner series woods and hybrid and I am getting ready to try the Burner TP ball...I have been playing the old TP red.

Before I get to my point, I need to say you have to love a thread that includes one guy having sex with his Mizuno irons and another guy who "loves Taylor Made balls."

I agree with the majority of this. However, the "Marketing Machine" had little to do with my putting their clubs in my bag. In fact, with the exception of the commercials for the ProV1 what other equipment spots do you see from them in a typical golf telecast? I see a lot more from Nike, Callaway and TaylorMade. I chose to put their clubs in my bag because I felt they were the best clubs out here for what I wanted to do. I am in that mid-handicap range where I only need to shave a few shots to get to single digits but at the same time could put up some pretty high numbers if I go the other way. I felt that Titleist gave me the best of both worlds. They were forgiving enough but still allowed me to make different shots. I did not want a set of super game improvement irons that would get me to a lower handicap only to have to discard them to try and lower it further. I feel that Titleist clubs are for better golfers. I want to be one of them. One of the best ways to do that is follow their lead on the tools of the trade.

    • That's part of why faster greens reward better putters. Given time to acclimate, golfers of any level (not talking about utter beginners or people who can't break 100 often) putt better on faster greens.
    • Smoother greens rewards better putters. The faster the green, the bigger the error in distance control. But, if you make the greens too slow good players are not used to hit the ball that hard so it can make them struggle a bit.
    • Day 11 (August 21).  Practice session this morning;  chipping for a while (focusing chips that aren't "on the number" for me --- I'm very comfortable with 20 and 25 yard chips, less so with 15 and 10).  Then full swing work, shared a small bucket.  For my share, I was focusing on setup and where I'm aiming.  It dawned on me that I've been hitting some really nice drivers and woods lately, as far as contact, flight, and distance, but not getting them where I want them to go, and the conversation from yesterday's Spin Axis podcast (nice to finally be caught up!) made me realize I wonder if I'm adjusting my aim for the difference in swing path.  I definitely put my woods closer to my intended target line today;  not sure if that means I'm adjusting for a pull or aiming correctly though. 😕 
    • Tied my season low with a 79 at an away course.  Nothing spectacular on the front (3 pars, 6 bogeys), but on the back I had 3 birdies (should have been 4 as I missed a putt from 5').   This round almost dropped one full shot from my index....from a 13.4 to a 12.6   Also....just a on side note, I have a consecutive 72 hole streak currently on playing the same ball.
