Personally I have nevr made a purchased based on a brand name, I will hit every club before I buy and it is irrelevant which brand it is.

I do tend to stick to brands not really so much because of the brand itself, but rather familarity with the products. I rave about other irons that ive hit (the muscle cut mizunos, the bridgestone j36) but my next set will proably be just another set of titliests. I use a 5 year old 420cc driver just because im so stuck with it. Even after buying a new r7 a few weeks ago.

As you can see by my signature I have no real loyalty. I play whatever club feels the best and works the best for me. There are brands that I will try first though and if they don't work for me I go on to the next brand that I like.

I didn't buy based on brand loyalty, although the first place I look is based on that. For example, when I was looking for new irons a few months ago, Cobra got my attention first. Then Bridgestone got my attention. Then I realized I should check everyone. And Bridgestone was still near the top of the list (although Mizuno, with whom I had had no previous dealings, won out).

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I am very partial to Titleist. I still love demo days to hit all the other lines but if Titleist is on my short list (which it usually is), then I will go with it. Taylor Made makes a good driver, and I love my R7 425, but if Titleist comes out with a 425cc that I hit well, it will soon after be in my bag. I like most about Titleist the classic look to most of the clubs. Other lines are to busy with the graphics and design.

i admit it... i'm a nike fanboy. but as everyone says, you gotta like the look of the club when you're staring down at the ball! i think it just adds up to more confidence.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
