I am getting to be more and more a Titleist fanboy it seems, but definately still a mixed bag here. There is certainly no good reason not to mix brands, so long as the bits are working for you. And I certainly don't think using only one brand makes your bag more "professional" looking when people check your sticks around the first tee. Perhaps just the opposit.

Driver: Titleist 913 D2 10.5*, Aldila RIP Phenom 50

Fairway 1: Titleist 913F, 17*, Titleist Bassara W55

Fairway 2: Titleist 913F, 21*, Titleist Bassara W55

Irons: Titleist AP1 714 5-PW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95

Wedges: SCOR 4161 48/52/56/60, Genius 9

Grips: GolfPride New Decade Red Mid-size on all of the above.

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 - Super Stroke Slim 3.0

Let's see ... Driver: Nike VR_S Covert Tour 3-Wood: Adams Speedline Fast 12 2-Hybrid: Mizuno MX-700 3-PW: Nike VR Forged Pro Combo SW: Titleist Vokey Spin Milled LW: Callaway Forged Wedge Putter: Nike Unitized A little Nike-heavy at the moment, but not really on purpose. I tend not to care for many Callaway or Ping clubs, but it's not a hard rule or anything. (I had a Callaway LW in my bag all year, for instance.)

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I'll admit to being a Taylormade 'homeboy.' Their gear just seems to work best for me. Only other sticks in the bag are a couple of Vokey wedges and an Odessy putter. dave

The ultimate "old man" setup:

Ping G30 driver
Ping G Fairway woods - 5 and 7 woods
Callaway X-Hot #5 hybrid; Old school secret weapon
Ping G #6-9 irons; W and U wedges
Vokey 54 and 58* Wedges
Odyssey Versa Putter
Golf Balls

Don't have a preference, I just go with whatever feels good and works, my set includes Cleveland, TM, Titleist, Ping and soon, Scratch. If I include all my clubs, I think I own almost every major brand out there, Callaway, Hogan, Mizuno, Tommy Armour, Wilson, Cobra. The only major brands that never made a club I wanted to buy are Nike and Adams.

Right now, I have Nike and Titleist in the bag. I used to have all Titleist in the bag from driver to the ball, but when I decided to get blades, as much as I wanted to stay with Titleist, Nike had the more aesthetically appealing look at address. When the Covert outperformed the 910s in my bag, I replaced those as well.

I've tested many other clubs, but nothing else really stood out in performance compared to Nike or Titleist. If I'm shopping for new clubs, I usually look at these two and then look into other brands.

Best Regards,
Ryan

I have a bit of everything in my bag looking to add a couple of ping g25 hybrids for 3+4 iron replacement too.


Posted

I haven't changed my in the bag in awhile, but I usually stick to Titleist woods, Cleveland irons and wedges (may switch to mizuno next not sure) and a scotty cameron putter.  I don't know many people that play only one brand unless they're sponsored.


Posted

I guess I have a mix.

Ping G15 driver

Cobra 3W (metal)

Adams 3 hybrid

Nickent 4 & 5 hybrid

6-LW Callaway X22 irons

Taylor Made putter.

I am not brand loyal and as you can see I purchase a lot of my "weapons" from the used club bins.  Saves a lot of $ that way.  I did purchase the putter new however.

When I bought my clubs this spring I hit 3 brands in the store, Callaway X Hot, Ping i20, and TaylorMade Rocketblades.  I ended up picking the i20s and took almost every club possible, 1, 3, 5 wood, 3-9, PW, UW, LW.  I went back the next day and picked up a Ping Redwood putter.  I don't have any special allegiance to Ping, I simply hoped there would be some manufacturing consistency across the clubs that would make learning to hit them somewhat easier.  I did pick up a black Ping kickstand bag at the time too and that was mostly cosmetic but damn does the setup look sharp. B-)

I'd consider it slightly odd if a person played the same brand through the entire bag.............HEY....Write me a check, and I'll do it....otherwise, not so much..LOL

I believe a golfer needs to make some brand choices to maintain a certain level of consistency, but not through the entire bag.

What I play is in the SIG

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch

Mine is pretty mismatched I guess.  lol.  Not as much as some though.  I am brand loyal but I will try a lot first and go with what I like the feel of or look of best.  That's how I'm going to make my decision.

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

Ain't nothing wrong with that if you like it! Titleist makes great equip. My first set of irons were DCI Oversize+ Black. I still have them because I liked those clubs so much and couldn't part with them.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
