aight, my grandpa just gave me a 10 degree Callaway Great Big Bertha Hawkeye driver, and seeing as how my entire bag needs to be the same brand if possible, i was wondering what the best clubs to back it up would be. I have been looking at the fusion irons, but im not sure if the cost would be worth it for my price range and what not. also, what woods, the fusion woods look good, but what about quality and results. another thing i thought about..if possible, was getting like a 2-5 or 3-5 in heavenwoods and then 6-wedges in the irons...is that possible...legal?

Any combination of 14 clubs that work for you so you can even have 14 putters if you want ;)

Once I also "believed" that your entire bag should be the same brand; heck, even shoes, gloves, everything

Nowadays I simply get what works for me. So you might want to consider other manufacturers as well (unless you're devoted to Callaway, of course )

Driver: Wilson DD6
Hybrid: TaylorMade Rescue
Irons: Mizuno MP-33
Wedges: Mizuno Tour Style 52/7 and 56/11

Er,Why ? I thought the idea of the game was to play good,ie: the best you can,not have identicle branding throughout ? Seriously unlikely that every product from one manufacturer is going to suit you personally.

Max,do YOURSELF a favour and get whatever works best for YOU.You'll thank people for telling you this......

Good luck and happy golfing.

Unfortunately, some of us may never get the opportunity to see what different clubs work well with us. Pro Shops are not on every corner around here.

I'm a newbie golfer, but I would bet golf is like anything else. Find a good club that feels nice, and MAKE it work for you. I am a believer that while some equipment can be better rated than others, its the PLAYER that counts. I once took $2500 out of a NJ pool hall shooting with house wood. The brand of stick didn't matter. I knew how to use it.

Find a reasonable set of clubs, make them work for you and enjoy!

If you're looking to go all Callaway, consider used clubs. callawaygolfpreowned.com (I think that's the URL) is a used club site operated by Callaway. With the Hawkeye driver, I'd suggest a couple Hawkeye fairway woods (titanium with tungsten sole weight like the driver, very good performers that I used for years), maybe some X-12 or X-14 irons (the best two models of the X-series, IMO). If you go with the X-14 irons, the wedges from the set are pretty good, and the X-14 pro series wedges are excellent (designed by Roger Cleveland, but still match the cavity-back design of the rest of the set).

And if you're going ALL Callaway, maybe an i-Trax putter. Or an Odyssey, since Odyssey (and Ben Hogan and Top-Flite) are owned by Callaway. Good luck!

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
