Different brands on woods/driver/hybrids

[perovha]

Hey!

Im currently in need of buying a new hybrid and a new fairway wood. I have looked up a couple of different fairway woods and it seems like the Ping i25 would be a good choice for me with the regular shaft. The problem is that the new hybrid i would like to invest in is probebly going to be a bio cell cobra 2-3 (changable loft thingy) and my current 4 hybrid is a taylormade rbz stage 2 (22 degrees) and my driver is a Nike covert. That means all my four wooden clubs are going to have different brands. The thing is that i am worried about having different types of brands on all of my "wooden" clubs cause they will all have a different feel from one another.

Have any of you guys used mixed brands of hybrids/fairwaywood/driver as described above?

First, Welcome to The SandTrap

As for the question it shouldn't be an issue. I just recommend you get fitted for each one, especially the driver.

I think getting the same brand helps in terms of having the same golf shaft make/model. Again that goes into fitted for the clubs.

For me no problem in using different brands as long as they have the same swingweight (D0 or D1).

Having a D0 swingweight in one club and D3 swingweight in another club does bother me.

I have a Cleveland driver, Cobra 3 wood, TaylorMade 5 wood, Callaway 4 hybrid and Cobra 5 hybrid, can Callaway irons. My wedges are Fourteens but I use the Callaway sandwedge. I would call that a mixed bag and I hit all of my clubs very well. Its not the arrow....

As @saevel25 mentioned, if they fit you I don't think it's an issue. I also have a mixed bag where my driver, 3 wood, hybrid, irons, and wedges are from different manufacturers.

Thanks and may the golf gods be with you!

A couple of thoughts on this:

One aspect of "fit you" deals with alignment. I have looked for clubs with pretty much a "square face" look (low offset).  My irons (both sets) have low offset, as do my FWs (Tour Edge Xrail) and wedges (Cleveland CG14). My Adams V4 hybrid and my Callaway RazR fit driver have quite a bit of offset. These are the two I have the most "bad days" with on left misses. I picked up a used TM SLDR hybrid with pretty much a square face, which may replace the Adams.

If you can get woods and irons from the same model, or sometimes just the same manufacturer, you get pretty much the same look at set-up. This saves a lot of time for everyday golfers.

If you get woods and irons from the same "model," often the family will have similar launch dynamics build into the head. That way, you don't end up with nice high iron shots from Model X from Adams, and low, troublesome wood shots from Model Z from Titleist.

If you're doing a mix and match, see if you can alternate back and forth between the different models and still hit the ball with some consistency.

Ending thought: Better golfers can benefit from widely different club types in the bag, while everyday golfers can benefit from clubs with the same look. (Not necessarily same model, but same look at address.)
