I started out trying to find no-nonsense fair reviews of clubs and pick and choose what goes into my bag

But lately I have the urge to just buy just 1 brand of thing and not, for example, have a golf bag that is one brand but clubs of different brands

Discuss!

Yeah, I do, as you can see in my signature... I am trying to change that though, and buy diffrent stuff in the future. Like Callaway wedges and Titleist irons or something like that.
In my bag:
Driver: : D2 8.5°
fairway wood: 906 15°
Hybrid: 585H 19°
Irons: 4-PW 695MBWedges: 52° 56° & 60° CG12Putter: Bettinardi C-Series (Carbon Steel)Ball: Pro V1x

No, not at all. I use what suits me the best.
One person in my family, is pretty much stuck to one brand; Callaway. He has a Callaway driver, and he hits it so poorly that he rather should`ve started using the 5 iron instead. I`ve forced him tu buying a TM Burner, as it suits his style much more, and hopefully we`ll see some progression. I`ve had much luck as a consultant before, and I`ll do my best this time around too.

I have made one hole in one this far. While you are reading this, I am most likely out on the tee trying to sink another one

Not at all. I pick whatever gives me the most confidence standing over the ball at address. It's also why if I ever turned pro (for some extremely unlikely reason) I would never get any sponsorships unless they allowed me to use whatever clubs I pleased.

Isn't it just as stupid to buy clubs so you don't have a bag with one brand as it is to buy clubs so you do have a bag with one brand?

I used to be torn on this. I wanted ALL my stuff to match. But now, I'm finding some great used deals on clubs. Right now I have a nice variety at the moment...
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?


In the bag:
Driver - HiBore XL 10.5* Reg. Flex Fit- on Fuji GoldWoods - Tightlies GT2: 3 wood 15* & 5 wood 19* Surpass 7 wood 24*Irons - Eye 2 4-PW & a cheesey 1 iron blade I use for punch...

Could care less about matching.

Just picked up a Cleveland Halo hybrid 3 iron thats not in my sig yet.

yes... i definitely feel the urge to get a full taylormade bag

so far.since I can't seem to have a signature:
-tm r5 dual (neutral) 10.5, R flex
-ping i3 3 and 5 woods.... (i can't hit these for crap so i'm replacing them. actually going to the golf store on tuesday.. i'm considering the burner tp and r7 steel.... but i'll probably try the cleveland hibore, callaway x as well)
-tm burner rescue 19 degree
-tm r7 irons
-tm rac black tp 56 degree
-odyssey white steel blade (idk the number)
a mix of balls.. usually callaway hx hots or nxts or something

thing is.... i just recently got new irons and the new hybrid and i tried everything... those ones just felt best. i liked the r7 irons better than the callaway x-20's and cleveland cg golds.. as well as liking the burner rescue over the cleveland hibore rescue

but now, since most everything in my bag is taylor made... i'm 95% sure i'll walk out with a taylormade 3 wood when i go to purchase one in the next couple of days. it's just a urge. i would have to hit another wood significantly better than either of those taylormades to consider it

i feel like going out to get a taylormade putter ( i actually like these as well as the yes! putters) and playing tp blacks now

XTD Pro - 9.5* - GD YSQ
GS Tour - 15* -GD Red Ice
Rescue TP - 17* - Fujikura TP
Idea Pro Gold - 20* - Mitsubishi JavlnFX
MP-30, 4-PW - Standard Lofts / 2* flat - TT DG RAC Z TP (54*/10*) X-Forged (60*/10*)Scotty Cameron TeI3 - 35"

I am new to golf and I guess I am stupid. I have all of my equipment from TaylorMade and myballs are all Titleist.

i have a mixed bag, but would like to have all cobra woods. I have the f speed driver and sz wood, but would like to replace the redline(can't hit it for crap) with an f speed wood. I also like cobra irons.

My bag happened to end up mostly Callaway, but that was not my intent. I tried all sorts of irons, and found that I really liked to hit the BBs. I hit darn near every driver made, and was most comfortable with the BB460. When I looked at hybrids, the X hybrid was pretty much even up with the Bobby Jones and the Fusion hybrid. Found a good deal on the X, so that made my bag. My putter and lob wedge aren't Callaways. I will admit to buying a Callaway glove and towel because of the brand of most of my clubs, but that was after the fact!

Good point.

But what I'm trying to do really is to have the stuff that I think is the best.

I tried to find some Ogio clubs, but I couldnt find any.

So I just decided to get an assortment. :)

To me it kinda limits you if you only want one brand.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
