Aqua, as I'm sure you know the Tour players will play whoever pays the most. The top 7 players all use different equipment and could change tomorrow and it wouldn't make much difference. Nothing against TM, I like their stuff too, just not because they sign a lot of tour players to contracts.

World Rankings:
1. Tiger - Nike
2. Phil - Callaway
3. Vijay - Cleveland
4. Retief - Taylor Made
5. Furyk - Srixon
6. A.Scott - Titleist
7. G.Ogilby - Cobra

Oh, and only Phil and Adam Scott use "One Company's Clubs".

World Rankings:

That's not true. Because either you have to consider that Odyssey is owned by Callaway (to include Phil) or you have to consider that Ogilvy uses all Titleist/Cobra/Cameron stuff, which is all "the same company" too.

And Vijay is 100% Cleveland, I believe, with his Never Compromise putters.

You're right on Ogilvy using "One Parent Company's Clubs (I've always associated Odyssey with Callaway). But as far as I know Vijay still carries a Callaway fairway wood (5 wood according to www.thegolfchannel.com "What's In The Bag") and I think he swaps out his 3 wood sometimes as well.

next time don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about it

But seriously - isn't it very subjective matter? Everybody's swing is different, everybody's esthetics are different - from look to sound. Live and let live dude. Who cares - if it works for you - fine, don't try to get everybody to like the same thing - that's how the biggest wars in the history got created

I am a club junkie, which isn't easy for a natural leftie. I currently have Cleveland, Maxifli, Titleist, Tommy Armour wedges and irons. I have noticed some different tendencies between brands. The TA's are loooonnnnggg. The Titleist 990's are accurate to a fault. The Maxifli Revolution's are my favorites, but just plain worn out. I am retiring them and trying to decide if my primary set will be the TA's or the Titleists.

It is not that I believe TM is the best, but they have clubs in every category I could be comfortable with. I rarely like the irons, woods, wedges, and putters from any one company at the same time. Actually I am considering buying Wilson Ci6's. I recently played some demos and was very impressed.

Titleist has Cameron putters, Vokey wedges, and great irons. I'm not as fond of the fairway woods and drivers, however if I had to choose one company, it would have to be Titleist.

There is no way I could play clubs from one company, but I did pick TM as I like their drivers and love their woods. I could probably live their putters and irons, I am just not sure about thier hybrids or wedges.

Surely the clubs that you use, depends on each persons game and what their strengths and weaknesses are.

A 24 handicapper like myself might prefer to go with all Taylormade or Callaway products because they might suit my game better than all PING or Titleist equipment.

I would go with Taylormade, as I already use a Rescue and RAC OS irons , would love a new R5 , but can't afford it at the moment. I like the look of their AGSI insert putters and their new Y-Cutter wedges look pretty decent too.

To complete the package I would use TP Red balls and Tour 360 Adidas shoes.

As much as I love my Mizuno Irons. I'd have to go with Taylor Made . Their woods are head and shoulders above the rest. The new TP line of RAC Irons are pretty good and comparable to Mizuno. I think Erik would attest to that. Their irons used to be their weak point. They've really imporved. The new Rossa putter I could live with. I'm not sure, maybe its the bore through shafts, but I don't like how Titleist and Callaway woods feel. I really like the Titleist 690MB irons but couldn't live with the woods. I don't like Callaway Irons at all. The top line looks like I'm swinging with a shovel.

My second choice would be Ping . Their putters, the s-59 Irons, and I'll live with the G5 driver. Their MB wedges are pretty good.

I'll go with Hogan...

Just picked up a Carnoustie 52 04 gap wedge and just love it.

They don't make putters? Woods not so good? Who cares, I'll put with the wedge...

(If I had a job and made money, I'd go all Titleist--including the bag and balls just for the cool factor !)

3 wood: TEE CB1 15*
Irons (3-PW): Nike forged blades

Hogan have putters made by Bettinardi, and their woods aren't that bad these days considering they are now part of Callaway.

I use one of their 3 woods and it's great.

I'd go with Taylor Made. Most of the clubs in my bag are TM and I just bought an R7 460 and a TM Dual Hybrid (the hybrid was free). My irons and wedges are already TM. Basically the only things that are not TM are my fairway woods, which are really old Cobras (I love my old steel cobra 7-wood circa 1995), and my 2-ball putter.

For ME when I have shopped for clubs, when I find what feels right I always seem to have a TM in my hand. I suck at golf and I like TM. I wonder if that's a trend. I'd like to see if, in general, the better players prefer Titleist and those of us that suck prefer TM (and I picked those 2 because of perception and the fact that they have the most votes in the poll and seem to have generated the most discussion).

I don't know how anyone could pass that deal up. I also bought a R7460 and got a 22 degree dual hybrid with it.

    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
    • Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.     
    • Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
