Titleist. Reasons being:

  1. Wedges: Vokeys have been my favorites for years.
  2. Putters: You're not "giving anything up" by using Scotty Camerons. They may not be your absolute favorite - Ping, etc. - but "they'll do"
  3. Irons: Great forged irons. If they're good enough for Ernie and Adam...
  4. Drivers/Woods: The 904 is nice, and Titleist woods always look nice, at least. And they perform well, too. Not worth switching just on account of two clubs.
How about you guys?

Cleveland for me - If its good enough for the big Fijian its good enough for me

Drivers - more than enough to do the job.
Fairway woods - ditto.
Irons - take you pick from every shape,size,material and finish you want.
Wedges - as good as they get in every available loft,bounce etc
Putters - never comprise are becoming some of the best out there rapidly.


Could be struggling for a ball though - unlike you Titleist chaps !!!!!

Well, I'm not going to go all in-depth about why I would select the brand I voted for because I really haven't hit any of these brands enough to determine anything. I have generic irons, with some other brands thrown in there for my driver, wedge, putter, etc. So this is just a personal answer, not anything researched.

But if I had enough money to buy a new set of woods, irons, wedges, etc., I would go with Taylor Made. I have read good things about their irons, and I have actually hit a lot of their woods.

I'm not real sure about the wedges they have, but other than that, I think Taylor Made would be a solid fit for me. But like I said, once I hit all the clubs, I could easily go with Titleist too. I have just always been a fan of the Taylor Made PGA guys.

I just bought a used set of Titleist DCI 981 irons about a month ago. They are similar in size and shape (and shaft lenght) to my old Wilson irons, so they have a similar feel. I am very pleased with them after 4 trips to the range and 2 rounds of eighteen. I love the newest irons from Callaway, but I'm to cheap to part with that much $$$.
In the bag:

I would definately go with Titleist. It is what I have. There is no doubt that there is nothing out there that is better quality than any of the Titleist Products. Top to bottom they have no weak products.

I not only "would" - I do !
TM r7 driver - no comment needed
3W and 5W - TM 200 - best fwy woods ever made
3i - pw - TM RAC TP Combo - best out of "combo" clubs.
52, 58 RAC Satin wedges - feel as good as Vokey, but more durable surface
TM Monza Mezza Putter - wanted center-shafted, switched at good price, never going back.

Taylor rules !

( No, I don't have TM bag. they stink. I've Nike bag and shoes. )

There are a lot of clubmakers I respect. I have an aversion to TaylorMade's irons for some reason... they just look wierd. But having said that, I'd probably play Ping G2's and they look like crap on a stick. The driver I'd love to play is the G2, I've heard lots of great things about them (forgiveness and good distance) and have swung a couple at the showroom, never on course... so who knows.

Putters: Scotty Cameron Newport 2, TM Mezza, Yes! Olivia (have those and they are good)

But I'll go with... uh... for the rest of the bag

I'd go probably Mizuno irons, Taylormade woods and Scratch wedges with a Slighter putter. TM have the edge in the woods I believe even they do bring out a new model every fortnight. You can't beat the feeling of a Mizuno iron. Scratch wedges and Slighter putters I have heard so many great things about them I can't say no

Ya can't mix your bag. That's the whole point of the question!

You need PING in there yo.
So far in my driver search I like the G2 best and I want to try the G5 line as well. Haven't tried their fairway woods, but will.
They are by far my favorite iron manufacturer for both the quality and customizability.
I wouldn't use their wedges if I had the choice, but they are still very nice and do the job well.
Any Anser type putter would do the job for me.

I'd pick TM first since I'm not about to give up my R5 . They do have some nice irons and wedges, but I've never tried their putters even though they are making a presence on tour. I'm a big fan of Mizuno for irons and wedges but not a fan of their woods (and I don't like their staff bag). Titleist would be my second choice...at least I could keep the ProV1 then .

    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
