Snake Eyes because they make great quality products. Their products are good, if not better than Titleist, Taylormade, and Callaway, etc. The only main difference is the price tag they slap on. Great quality products at VERY fair prices.

I would go w/ Taylor Made - almost soley based on the R7 460 - I absolutely love that club - the confidence I have when I set up with this club makes all the difference for me. I also love the Rosa Putter - I've heard mixed reviews on the irons though...

In the Bag:

- R7 460 - Driver
- R7 st - 3 Wood
- Baffler Dws - Hybrid - 4-Pw-CG-4 - Irons - 54 - CG-11/ 58+60 - CG 10 - Wedges - Rosa Mezza Monza - Putter NXT or Noodles

good enough for bobby jones, good enough for me

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

I have to go with Titleist, even though I play Cobra Irons right now. My Driver and Fairway wood (905R and 906F2 Respectively) are excellent and I love the classic look compared to some of the new looks other companies are using.

I've hit plenty of their irons that are played by playing partners of mine and I'm just waiting until next summer to invest in my own set for the tremendous feel.

Wedges... Vokey, what more do I have to say.

Putters - Not a huge fan of Cameron, but that's probably because of the price tag, not performance for me, a poor college student.

In The Bag:
905R UST V2 Stiff
906F2 UST V2 Stiff
3DX dc 17* Stiff
2300 IM 4-PW Stiff CG 12 Black Pearl 52*, 56*, 60* C67 Pro V1x

Titleist...905R is a great driver as well as the players irons, cant speak about fairways or wedges.

not a fan of the taylor made drivers or cobra, probably take a sumo square driver if my life depended on it.

Mizuno irons are super sweet.

overall i would fill the bag with titleist.

In the Bag...Ping Hoofer

I chose Titleist because I have always played their Irons and my Scotty Red-X is so trustworthy.

Taylormade is a close second. I just hit the new R7 Irons and they are the first non-Titleist that have that classic look I am used to.

Titleist...

I love my new irons and I just recently converted from Cleveland to Vokey wedges. I used to play the 975 driver and I am sure I could find a Scotty putter that I liked if I had to.

Would definitely have to go with Ping. Their putters and irons alone have me convinced.

I'm with you. I haven't seen many (if any) non-blade clubheads that don't use the principles Karsten first applied to putters and irons.

I have to agree with mediaguru. Hogan for me too!

On a side note- shame on Callaway in its attempts at "burying" this reputable name.

Golfsmith (Snake Eyes, Golfsmith, Killer Bee, XPC, Linx, Zevo, ASI)

They are components, but I would do with completely that company for clubhead, shaft, grip, and everything else. There is just so much selection for building a "perfect" club. The specifications are more specificly communicated to the clubmaker also. You really can predict to a good degree how a finished club will work. The parts that I have used in the past were beyond my best expectations. I have used the big brands and still would prefer only Golfsmith to only Titleist, etc.

Titleist would be my second choice (if no component brands allowed) because their clubs do not distract at address or during any part of the swing as much as others (especially Nike). The psychological effects of using Titleist clubs are consistent and easy to get used to. Using a significantly different shape, feel, color club for each model does not help keep me dynamic on the course. Titleist seems to understand that.

Suprised at the overwhelming majority of Titleist, but I guess I'm not one to talk, as I would go with Titleist myself. 907D1 driver, Unsure of Fairways, AP1 Irons, Vokey Spin Milled Wedges, Scotty Putters.

Easily Taylor Made for me... if I had the money, I would invest in the best that Taylor Made has to offer.

Driver: R7 Superquad 10.5 Stiff Stock
Wood: R7 3 wood Stiff Stock, r7 5 wood Stiff Stock
Irons: Command BK 3-PW Stiff TT Black Gold Shafts
Wedges: 52, 56, 60Putter: Dual Force Rossie II or White Hot XG #9 (Haven't had a chance to use both yet.)

I would definately choose Bridgestone

"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."

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      Good news. Now you can get the grip out of your palm… 😄

      Nice mate, very nice. I'd say forget about weight until what you're doing stops working and go win some beers from your mates while you're in the zone!

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      By carpediem4300 ·

      Weight shift is next on the list but I need to groove this new feel and then work it back to a better shot shape. I started with a path +5 degrees out and a clubface -8 degrees. Hook city Ended with a path -0.5 and clubface +5. Straight fade/slice   So now just to dial it back a touch.

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      Whatever works best for you. Koodos.

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      By Stryper ·

      Geez I love seeing improvement like that. Well done. As someone whose "natural" swing is out to in 2-3 degrees I have to really stay on my front side (like 80%) to get that back to closer to 0 or even + for a draw. A big backswing also makes the path even worse. On the contrary a really short backswing with heavy front foot creates a hook. And to clarify, I feel that weight through my foot, knee and hip, it's not just leaning to the front side, it's almost like winding the coil in that front leg. That's probably the exact opposite of what the textbooks say? Perhaps because the textbooks are for guys who hit the ball well with an in to out club path struggle taming a hook?? For some reason ANY conscious weight transfer to my back foot exacerbates everything and stops me getting through the ball and I stand up off the ball. When I'm trying to hit a cut I don't consciously hold weight forward (but I make sure I don't transfer back) and it works. I have very bad hips, knees, shoulders from decades of (falling off) motorbikes and (falling off) surfboards so I can only do what I can do       I have found this "weight" approach works better for me than "try to swing in to out" using any method as I then lose impact angle and distance. With say an 8-iron I will lose 20m from my best shot even if it's a +2 path, because I just cannot get everything to work together.   I don't know if any of that helps - I am certainly a trial and error guy and not a coach with any kind of theory to back up my ponderings - but I am learning what works for me by making weight my number one swing thought.
