Would you put a blue driver in your bag?

  1. 1. Would you buy a blue driver?

    • If it was clearly better I would
      16
    • If it was equal to another driver, I’d choose black/gunmetal/graywhite over blue

    • Blue is a show stopper, won’t buy one period

A silly question probably. I am a huge Mizuno fan, but I just can’t imagine having a blue driver. I know there are others like me, but I know there are others who put results above almost all else.

I think the driver you're referring to looks really sharp, haven't hit one yet but I don't think the blue would bother me. It's better than white imo

I like my Mizuno's but if the pic below is the driver/woods/hybrids you are talking about, I def have to pass on that.

Considering I used an orange driver from Cobra at one point, I don't think I'd have an issue.

I find nothing offensive about them. Besides, blue clubs are better than blue balls ;-)

Your poll has a very anti-blue bias.  Where is the option for “I prefer blue”?  My Cobra has a glossy white which I like.  If their blue was available at the time I would have thought about getting it instead.  I definitely like the Mizuno blue wedges.

I'd hit a purple driver with pink polka dots if I hit it better than my current driver. Just sayin' ;-)

Yeah I can't really vote in the poll either. It's very biased.

I'd pick the first item, but the second item might be true too… or I might pick the blue one if the performance was the same!

Sorry, my mistake. Hopefully ‘prefer blue’ fits in option 1?

Among several from Mizuno. As much as I covet their irons...

Their irons DO rock for sure.  They have blue wedges as well but I opted for the MPR-12 ones as I like the look and feel of them and got a 52 & 58, barley used, with new grips for $70!

On second thought, the gloss finish is a dealbreaker. Matte blue and it's in my bag :-P

One day if I get really good I'm going to rock some purple clubs. Don't want to be flamboyant without the game to back it up.

Option 1 says "better numbers."

Option 2 says "if the same, black."

Option 3 says "no blue ever."

There's no option for "if the same, blue."

Well, I marked 1, but it would have to be 20 yards longer and half the dispersion. I could have also marked 2, because if that were the case I would go with black or gray.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
