Is it ok to have a completely matching set of golf clubs???? Im asking because im thinking about switching my irons to match my g15 driver and 4 wood that im killing down the middle........i currently play mizuno mp 57 but i dont play as much as i used to and i think i need to go to some more forgiving irons......any one out there play g15 irons?? once a week is about all i play ..........any other advice is appreciated..

Ping G15 4 wood 17 degree

Get the irons if you hit them better than the MP 57s, but not if you just want everything to match. Nothing at all wrong with all matching clubs, I do like the look of it.

I both like and dislike matching clubs.. Like because it looks nice, but dislike because all matching clubs looks like you only bought them just for that, just to match, and is kinda corny to me. But whatever helps you out go with it.

If money were not an issue, and I could keep buying new clubs whenever a set came out that I wanted (note: I'm not claiming this to be what you're doing), I might have a set of Nike VR irons and wedges in my bag at the moment. I'd almost certainly have a Nike Method putter in this situation. That would put me at 14 Nike clubs, not because they're Nike, but because they'd be the ones I want.

Lots of people play with 14 TaylorMade clubs. It's probably the most common single-brand bag of clubs I see. All Titleist clubs isn't uncommon among better players, either.

In short, play the clubs that you like. But make sure they're the clubs you like: success with the g15 woods doesn't guarantee success with the g15 irons - they're a slightly different animal. But if you like the g15 irons, and you can afford putting them in your bag, do so irrespective of which clubs would be their new neighbors.

In my opinion, as a 7 hcap you can get away with a bag of matching clubs, because you have a bit of game. I believe a matching set of clubs will always draw a bit more attention from other golfers than a pick-n-mix set! If you can walk the walk, good on you! One thing I can't stand is when I end up playing with a hacker who shows up on the first tee with a full set of matching, off the shelf clubs in a matching tour bag - normally TM or Nike. They've spent more than couple of grand on clubs but can't play to save their life. I think this is foolish and they just make themselves look downright silly. Whilst I am ranting, the same goes for modern, trendy, tight fitting, loud-coloured golf wear. If you have the physique and the game, then by all means dress like Camilo Villegas. If however, you have a body like the michelin man and can't hit a cow's a$$ with a banjo, then please don't make yourself look like a knob.

MP57 and G15 come down to what you like better. I wouldn't ditch the Mizuno's. They are already paid for and are awesome sticks, buttery smooth.....

My heart is set on the Ping I15 Driver though...damn I love that club, what a weapon.

Sure.

You know there is also the concept of conforming by non-conforming. Hippies in the '60s were were all about being differednt and not conforming. Strangely, if you took the time to look you would find they were all "not conforming" in pretty much the same way. In other words they were conforming, just to a different standard. If someone says you shouldn't have all of the same type of clubs, aren't they really just conforming to another standard? A standard that says your clubs should be different? When you think about it, you're the one bucking the trend and being the non-conformist by playing a set of a single brand.

Mine all match (Slazenger Raw something from a couple of years ago)... well... except for the SW, GW, and putter. The SW is some "Gary Player" something I bought at Walmart 13 years ago for $20 a couple years after I started playing. The GW is... wow... I'm not sure. It might be an old KZG club that a friend didn't want from about 8 years ago. The putter is either a Mizuno from a friend's first "nice" set 12 years ago or a Ray Cook (I think) putter he didn't want about that same time. I'll just randomly switch between them every so often.

You'll get away with matching clubs. Now if you add to that matching bag, matching glove, matching ball, matching hat, matching shirt, and matching ball marker, then you'll be that guy. You don't wanna be that guy .

Hahahhaha, made me laugh and look in the mirror..............i have mizuno irons, a minzuo stand bag, and usually wear a mizuno hat out on the course. However, my wedges, woods, clothing, gloves, etc. are not mizuno. I think i might be borderline.........."that guy", please tell me it ain't so :)

 

In my Mizuno Aerolite IV Stand Bag:

Driver: Titleist 910D2 (9.5°, RIP Alpha 70S)
Wood: Titleist 910F (15°, RIP Alpha 70S)

Irons: Mizuno MP-68 Irons (3 - PW, C-Taper S+), Mizuno MP-33 2 Iron (C-Taper S+)

Wedges: Vokey Spin Milled (56.11 - Bent to 54°, 60.07 Tour Chrome, C-Taper S+ DSS)

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 (34")

Ball: Titleist Pro-V1x

GPS: Garmin Approach g5

Most useful training aids (for me) that I use: Tour Striker Pro 7 Iron, Swingyde, Tour Sticks alignment sticks, Dave Pelz Putting Tutor


I do not all match yet. But I am slowing going over to Titleist. I like their AP2's and the 909D2. I also currently use Titleist Vokey wedges, Nike pro combo irons, Ping putter, taylor made utlity wood, and Nike 3wood. This winter will be a revamping of all my golf gear. But the only reason I will have matching clubs is because, it is what fits me. I'm not going to buy something to just make it LOOK cool in my bag. I'll impress people with my shots rather than whats in my bag.

Unless someone is paying me to play their clubs, I don't care if they match. I have TMade Driver/3W, Adams A2OS3-PW, and Nike VRed Wedges. I am toying with the thought of replacing the 7-PW from the Adams set to something with better feel. The bottom line is, I only care about what shows up on the score card.

Matching smatching. Play whatever you like to play. I was checking out 3 woods the other day to replace my ancient one. I picked up the nike dymo, since my driver and hybrids are nike, but I really didn't like it. I really liked the look and feel of the Talyor Made and the Cleveland 3 woods (the Cobra wasn't too bad either). I love my hybrids, but couldn't have liked the Dymo less.
