I sorta tend to be brand loyal, just look at my sig. However i also test all different types of clubs, and these are the ones that i like best, except for maybe the hybrid.

I have Nike irons, wedges, putter, golf shoes, golf bag, gym bag, gym shoes, cross trainers, hockey helmet, gloves, compression shorts, hats, shirts, shorts and socks.

I like their products, and the apparel is affordable.

I only have clubs from Play it Again Sports and hand me downs, but nonetheless, they've always been Taylormade woods and Titleist irons/wedge. I buy for long-term and I'm a traditional classicist (bought a Ford Mustang new and had it for decades now as my primary car), so if I ever buy new, I'll probably just swing these brands again, and if they work, I'll buy them.

Also, some of my favorite players, including my late grandfather who introduced me to the game, happen to be Titleist guys.

So yeah, I guess I'm a loyalist.

I used to have tunnel vision and still kind of do (Titleist)… But now I am a lot more open to other brands. I also wish I would have tried more/other clubs before ordering my AP2’s, would have considered some Mizuno clubs.

What is your favorite brand? Which Brand will you never play with? For me its:

Favorite: Nike , always liked their products even if they're still a developing golf company.

Will not use: Titleist , even if they gave me a bag full of free Titleist stuff that would shave 20 strokes from my game, I would rather sell it then use it. Just seems like the snobbish golfers brand and everyone loves their wedges, putters and golf balls which annoys me.

And yes I realize I am being irrational and bias but oh well...

stand bag:

Driver: DDH 10*
Woods: DDH 3W-15*, 5W-21*
Irons: DDH 3-SWWedge: VR LW 60*Putter: VSL

No, not really, each manufacturer seems to have their own set of strengths (products).

I'm not really loyal to any brands or companies. I find the stuff I use best and what helps my game the most. Brand does not really do much for me. Like said above, every brandy has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Looking in the backroom in my basement would tell me I have no brand loyalty. I go by whatever works best and if I can find it in left handed. Although getting engaged has slowed my golf club purchasing.

I like Titleist as well. Very professional looking. Too bad I don't think I will ever reach their level. Cleveland drivers and wedges are good, but I am not a big fan of their irons. I never tried anything Nike but their drivers look interesting.

I generally love everything Mizuno, specially their MX-200 irons, their new MX-700 driver and most of all, the sexiest of all golf equipments on earth, the Bettinardi Black Carbon putter (specially BC2!!)

Notice thay my opinions are based mostly on looks and not performance. So it's a really biased opinion that is not worth the time I took to type it. :D

not too brand loyal
i play what fits my game at the time and honeslty, asthetics (sp?) does mean a lot to me
it's gotta look good to play it, or it's out!

was always a Callaway guy off the T, but have switched to Titleist the past 5 yrs or so
dont mind their wedges and balls too
but now playing Nike irons, there wedges are getting a strong look from me..and until i cant get Platinum One's anymore, I will switch to the ProV1's too

one brand i dont think i will EVER play - Cobra
just never liked their stuff...although i am sure its good gear, just not a fan
"My swing is homemade - but I have perfect flaws!" - Me

What is your favorite brand? Which Brand will you never play with? For me its:

That's funny, I am the exact opposite. Titleist is king, Nike is meh. However, I once said that I would never play TM, but they introduced a great product line that fit my game. So if Nike blew my socks off with something that helped me, I could probably be persuaded. Never say never.

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
