Mixed. I find that a driver for example, one brand seems to work better for me than the brand my irons are, and my 3 wood is yet another brand. So I may have 4 different brands of clubs, Only because I like the feel. I'm not brand loyal for the most part, but on a limited income and retired, I have to watch my spending, so a 400.00 driver is out of the question.

Mixed bag here but have been gravitating to PING lately. Ping Irons, driver and hybrid, tour exotics hybrid, odessey putter, and a no name wedge at the moment all inside a tity bag. They way I look at it is, whatever I hit the best, whatever has the features I like to have I will buy and not care about who makes it.

I've always had a mixed bag, but that is usually due to which club I can get the best value on when I'm in the market for something. I've got some Adams fairway woods and a Titlelist putter. I started playing Cobra irons because I found a used set in mint condition for almost nothing, bought them without hitting them. Absolutely loved them once I hit them. Because of that experience I just bought a Cobra driver.

I honestly wouldn't worry about having a mixed bag or one manufacturer. The only time I look at another golfer's clubs is if I get put with random people. Before we tee off I like to see what they are playing so I can get a ROUGH idea of their skill level. Doesn't always pan out; I've played with guys who have $2,000 set ups and couldn't break 100 and I've been the guy with a $250 bag that shoots an 80.

Driver: Cobra Amp Cell

3/5 Wood: Adams Ovation

Irons: Cobra UFI

Putter: Titleist Dead Center, circa 1985

I can't believe people worry about this! They're sticks that you hit balls with. It's not like the Callaways and Taylormades are going to start a turf war in your bag.

That's because the mizunos are soft. Never stood a chance. ;-)

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
