yeah I would agree with that, titleist's and mizuno's 'game improvement' clubs are less forgiving. the MX-25 is mizuno's 'game improvement' iron, yet it is less forgiving (imho) than the Callaway X-20 tour, one of callaway's 'players' irons. Titleist 755 are supposedly for the mid handicapper, but there are a few guys on tour with them. However, while mizunos focus isn't really on the high handicapper, they do have some clubs available for them(unlike titleist). I can't see any 20+ handicapper using any of titleist's current irons(even AP1). However, I can(and do) see players struggling to break 100 with MX-19's(mizunos super game improvement, cast iron.) .

I agree and i feel titleist is getting more and more into game improvement...honestly they have to do this-to compete in the market--and i like their approach because they are now starting to apply themselves to all skill levels of golf..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I have a mental problem hitting callaway irons. When I look down at that fat top-line, I just can't hit the dang thing.

At my current skill level I would play Taylormade because I love my XD irons, r7 460 driver, and rescue dual, but if I was a lower handicapper, I would play Titleist's harder to hit clubs.

So many great choices....we are lucky to be able to find so many companies.

I voted Callaway due to the fact that I'm not a consistent player and can use all the help and forgiveness their clubs tend to allow.

The same could be said about other comanpies offerings, too.

Titleist or Callaway.

Pro's for Titleist:

Good Drivers
Good/Great fairway woods.
Great forged blades.
Great wedges.
Great putters.
Great Ball.

Reasons for Callaway:

Great Drivers
Great fairway woods
Good irons. Not great though.
Good/Great wedges
Great putters
Great ball



Overally probably Titleist.

Cleveland here. Their irons are severely under-rated amidst all the Titleist and Mizuno love. Their hybrids and drivers are fantastic. They make arguably the best wedges around. And their putters are also severely under-rated. Cleveland makes some fine products, and I really wouldn't mind filling my bag with their logo.

i would go for mizuno

Driver - MP-600 is a great driver
F'ways - F60's look too nice not to be good
Irons - Great Irons (MP-32/60/67)
Wedges - Not the best but MP-R seems OK
Putter - Bettinardi will DO

Also may be struggling for a ball - even though they are releasing a ball in japan!

It was a toss up between TaylorMade and Callaway. I picked TaylorMade though. This is why:

Drivers: Burners and R7 Superquads are, in my opinion, the gods of all drivers.
Irons: Once again Burner and R7 are some of the nicest irons out there.
Putters: Rossas are I'd say pretty spectacular.
Wedges: rac wedges are one-of-a-kind
Balls: I used a TaylorMade ball on my last round. Hit my career high score. 'Nough said.

PING:

1. Wedges: Not the best but TOUR-W work quite well for the average golfer
2. Putters: I've always been in love with PING Putters
3. Irons: I love G5s. Never played G10s but I've heard wonderful reviews
4. Drivers/Woods: Again here G5s were wonderful and the G10 woods are marvelous (Haven't played the g10 driver, but again, people speak wonders about it).

As well I love the "name", it sounds quite funny. I love caps and bags. I actually enjoy the look of most PING clubs and apparel.

The only downside would be BALLS, unfortunately, which would ahve the need of another company name...

Cheers...

I don't know anything about the woods, but Mizuno makes the best irons and wedges on the planet. I don't think I could give up my Odyssey putter though.

Driver: MP-600 9.5 w/ Fujikura E360 Stiff Shaft
4 Wood: F-60 16.5 w/ Exsar FS3 Stiff Shaft
Irons:MP-57 3-PW w/ Dynamic Gold S300 Shafts
Wedges: MP-R Black-Ni 52, 56, & 60
Putter: Studio Select Newport 2Ball: ProV1/ProV1xGrips: Winn Xi7

Not sure I would say they make the best, but Mizuno makes great stuff. The best is an overrated term. It is all about feel and what gives "the best feel"

Titleist. First-rate products that perform well, look good and (in most cases) are made in the USA. If I could only play 1 brand of golf equipment for the rest of my life, it would be Titleist.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Woods: :mizuno: JPX 850 9.5*, :mizuno: JPX 850 15*, :mizuno: JPX-850 19*, :mizuno: JPX Fli-Hi #4, :mizuno: JPX 800 Pro 5-PW, :mizuno: MP T-4 50-06, 54-09 58-10, :cleveland: Smart Square Blade and :bridgestone: B330-S

I voted for Titleist as I love my new AP1s. They were the best irons for me after months of testing. That said, I am less fussy with my driver, hybrids or putter, so I could easily settle for a bag full of Mizunos, Pings, Callaways or Taylor Mades.

In my atlas bag:

Driver: MX-560 (Diamana Blue Board 63 X-Flex Graphite Shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX #3/20* IW
4I-GW: AP1 (4-6 graphite)56* W: vokeyPutter: anser 2

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
