so i was reading a couple threads on pople commenting on not wearing a hat or shirt that matches your clubs. and i was wondering does it matter that much to everyone about brand matching i mean i have adams irons, ping driver, calloway bag(it was the lightest and i like to walk), foot joy shoes and an assortment of clothes i mean do people really judge on not brand matching or is it just some, i mean i play with and wear what i found felt good not caring if it matched hahaha.

The only reason to brand match is if that particular brand is signing your checks...

Outside of that, it's just something that people choose to do.  I have a buddy at the gym that refuse to wear a nike shirt with adidas shorts etc.  He doesn't prefer one over the other, he's just quirky like that.

But most of the people I know hit or wear whatever works for them.  Heck look at the signatures on this forum... a good number of people aren't loyal to one company in their bag... much less what brand thier belt is.

Oh no, you are over the 3 logo limit.

If you look in a lot of good player's bags, they don't match up. For many touring pros, the headcovers may all be the same, but that doesn't mean that there is not an Adams hybrid stuck in that Cally cover (substitute brands for this example).

You can mix and match brands however you want.  Its your bag and unless a certain company is paying you to use their stuff, who cares what you use?

Apparently, according to your posts in the hat thread, you do.

I don't pay attention to the brand as much as the colors and it has nothing to do with my gear. Most of my clothing is course/club logo stuff on brands like Antigua, Cutter and Buck, Sunice so not real flashy. My experience is the clothes in the pro shop are more affordable than the big box golf stores.

I don't pay attention to brands for clothing.  If I see a shirt I like, I buy it.  Whether it's ADIDAS, Nike,  or whatever....it doesn't matter.  The same goes for outerwear. IE ..wind/rain clothing.  I own several and brand is an afterthought.  If it's a design I like, that is all that matters.  I have a ton of pullovers both short and long sleeved for those chilly days.

Caps...that's another story.  I tend to avoid golf brands.  Most of my baseball caps have college team logos. (ohio state, of course!)  I do have 2 Nike Dri-Fit caps, but just because they are great to wear on those blistering hot days.

Only reason I've bought Adams clubs is because I liked the logo..... hehehe Kidding! Kidding....

I do happen to like them, but there are various reasons why it worked out that way. Had 2 Adams woods with my previous set. Tried some irons eventually and wound up going with the Adams because I didn't want to pay for Pings, Taylormades, and others. Plus the set came with a bag.. After that, when someone bought a club for my birthday (my wife, for example), they would buy me Adams...

Maybe some folks who have played with me noticed that and when they found that I was just the average golfer maybe they thought less of me. Not my problem. .

However, I could care less what brand the clothes are. Typically I'm wearing shorts with a polo that came from wherever. The at is always the same, though. Its my trusty Scottish cap... hehehe

I will wear Titleist hats because they feel most comortable to me and fit me well.  I've tried adidas(too shallow of a dome), Nike(golf hats are too narrow in the front), and Taylormade(too shallow, as well).
I wear Nike and Under Armour shirts because they are comfortable, to me.  I like the way their sizes fit my particular body and so they are what I buy most of.  Shorts..I don't really have a preference.
Shoes, I will wear what i think looks good thats also an acceptable price for me.
Clubs..I have TM driver and hybrid, Mizuno irons, Adams Watson 54, Callaway Jaws CC 60, and a cleveland putter.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

      Day 470 - 2026-01-13 Got some work in while some players were using the sim, so I had to stick around. 🙂 Good thing too, since… I hadn't yet practiced today until about 6:45 tonight. 😛

      Day 152 1-12 More reps bowing wrists in downswing. Still pausing at the top. Making sure to get to lead side and getting the ball to go left. Slow progress is better than no progress.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      Yea, if I were to make a post arguing against the heat map concept, citing some recent robot testing would be my first point. The heat map concept is what I find interesting, more on that below. The robot testing I have looked at, including the one you linked, do discreet point testing then provide that discrete data in various forms. Which as you said is old as the hills, if you know of any other heat map concept type testing, I would be interested in links to that though! No, and I did say in my first post "if this heat map data is valid and reliable" meaning I have my reservations as well. Heck beyond reservations. I have some fairly strong suspicions there are flaws. But all I have are hunches and guesses, if anyone has data to share, I would be interested to see it.  My background is I quit golfing about 9 years ago and have been toying with the idea of returning. So far that has been limited to a dozen range sessions in late Summer through Fall when the range closed. Then primarily hitting foam balls indoors using a swing speed monitor as feedback. Between the range closing and the snow flying I did buy an R10 and hit a few balls into a backyard net. The heat map concept is a graphical representation of efficiency (smash factor) loss mapped onto the face of the club. As I understand it to make the representation agnostic to swing speed or other golfer specific swing characteristics. It is more a graphical tool not a data tool. The areas are labeled numerically in discrete 1% increments while the raw data is changing at ~0.0017%/mm and these changes are represented as subtle changes in color across those discrete areas. The only data we care about in terms of the heat map is the 1.3 to 1.24 SF loss and where was the strike location on the face - 16mm heal and 5mm low. From the video the SF loss is 4.6% looking up 16mm heal and 5mm low on the heat map it is on the edge of where the map changes from 3% loss to 4%. For that data point in the video, 16mm heal, 5mm low, 71.3 mph swing speed (reference was 71.4 mph), the distance loss was 7.2% or 9 yards, 125 reference distance down to 116. However, distance loss is not part of a heat map discussion. Distance loss will be specific to the golfers swing characteristics not the club. What I was trying to convey was that I do not have enough information to determine good or bad. Are the two systems referencing strike location the same? How accurate are the two systems in measuring even if they are referencing from the same location? What variation might have been introduced by the club delivery on the shot I picked vs the reference set of shots? However, based on the data I do have and making some assumptions and guesses the results seem ok, within reason, a good place to start from and possibly refine. I do not see what is wrong with 70mph 7 iron, although that is one of my other areas of questioning. The title of the video has slow swing speed in all caps, and it seems like the videos I watch define 7i slow, medium, and fast as 70, 80, and 90. The whole question of mid iron swing speed and the implications for a players game and equipment choices is of interest to me as (according to my swing speed meter) over my ~decade break I lost 30mph swing speed on mine.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Maxfli, Maltby, Golfworks, all under the Dicks/Golf Galaxy umbrella... it's all a bit confounding. Looking at the pictures, they all look very, very similar in their design. I suspect they're the same club, manufactured in the same factory in China, just with different badging.  The whacky pricing structure has soured me, so I'll just cool my heels a bit. The new Mizuno's will be available to test very soon. I'm in no rush.
