Would you put a blue driver in your bag?  

18 members have voted

  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
      1
    • 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?

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.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂
