Whichever company has the bigger marketing budget.

Jokes aside, are you looking for a new set of irons? Any type in particular? I ask because you can purchase some really well made equipment from not so well know companies for a fraction of the cost. Just food for thought.

Titleist 905T Accra SC75 M4 Shaft

Nike SQ 4W Accra T70 M4 Shaft
HB001 17* Hybrid with Mitsubishi Diamana Thump X Stiff Flex
Baffler Pro 20* Accra Axiv 105 Tour Hybrid Shaft

Taylor Made 24* Burner Accra Axiv 105 Tour Hybrid Shaft

Mizuno MP-32 5-PW Black Oxide Finish Project X 6.0 Shafts

Vokey 52* Oil Can Finish TTDG S400 Shaft

Cleveland 588 60* TTDG S400 Shaft

Rife Bimini Blade Putter

There is no "best" company. It's whatever feels good to the individual. Any of the top companies make quality equipment.

I knew this would get a ton of responses with some very opionated replies. My vote goes for any club from walmart ......

But in all seriousness, out of the clubs i have tried, i tend to always favor Ping or Callaway products. They are very durable and seem to fit my game quiet well. If only i had the money now to buy a set.

On a personal note, far too much emphasis is placed on clubs, a good player can play well with anything above a tobacco stick with a rock taped on the end as long as they are confortable with it.

Good clubs can inspire confidence though, but i hate going to the course and seeing retired guys playin with 2000 dollar sets and hitting tons of worm-burners while i'm making pars with my 200 dollar set.

Do you hate it because you are jealous? I am sure they make as many pars as you do.

It all depends on what you like to hit. A person might love a certain club, while another person might just hate it. Some guys prefer specific brands, others hate it, etc..

But I think it is generally agreed on here on the forums that the best irons come from Mizuno, Titleist and PING. I personally love Mizunos, feel completely neutral towards Titleist and absolutely dislike PING irons. (But this might change since the new i15 irons are a complete work of art)

As for drivers, I really like Clevelands, Mizuno again (MX700) and the new TaylorMade R9 looks interesting, though the very short product release cycle of TM puts me a bit off.

In the end, when you have a Cadillac CTS, a Mercedes S350 and a BMW 745i, it's pretty tough to give an absolute opinion about which make is the best. It all comes to personal preferences. Or else you'd see only one brand of clubs with all tour players/one luxury car company on all streets.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

Terribly overpriced, mediocre cars? Not a very good analogy :P

E60M vs. XFR vs. CLS63AMG :P is more like it

I've always been partial to Cleveland. They're wedges are definitely top notch--as for irons, Cleveland, Callaway, Titleist, Nike, TaylorMade, and Mizuno are all making quality irons that really just bring it down to personal choice. Same goes for drivers.

early 80's actually. I dont think that makes them the best though. find titleist clubs to be the best, not because my entire set are titleist clubs with the exception of my driver, but because their products are good quality and perform great with my swing.

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
