I see all the pros primarily working with a single club brand and I know a lot of that has to do with money and endorsements...
But what do most people here do?
I have pretty much maxed out my number of brands right now with:
Taylor Made Driver
Adams 4 Wood
Callaway 3 Hybrid
Ping 4 Hybrid
Srixon 5-PW
Cleveland 48 and 60 wedges
Titleist 54 Wedge
Odyssey Putter
So basically 8 brands (even though some are part of the same company)...
I've got
Callaway Driver
Tour Edge 3W
Cobra 5W
Callaway 3 Hybrid
Bridgestone 5-PW
Taylor Made 52, 56, 60
Xenon/Lajosi Putter
I only carry 12 clubs
Cobra Fly Z Driver
TM 3 Wood
TM 3 Hybrid
Wilson Staff FG Irons (4-PW)
TM Rac A Wedge
Odyssey 3 Ball Putter
As you can see no sponsorships for me....
Titleist driver
Titleist 3w
callaway x2hot hybrid
Ben hogan Irons 3/4-pw
adams and cleveland wedges
bettinardi putter
Other than putter (find something that works and stick with it, regardless of brand), otherwise its one brand for me:
Callaway from top to bottom. I have a Heavy Putter to avoid the clean sweep. I even game Cally balls, and had a Warbird stand bag but found a sweet deal on a SM 3 5 bag.
Taylormade R15 Driver
Taylormade Burner 3 Wood
Taylormade Burner Hybrid
3-PW Ping Anser 2013
50* Ping Anser 2013
56* Taylormade Wedge
Odyssey Black Blade Putter
I'm big on Taylormade drivers as an R7 was my first ever big golf purchase and I just replaced it this year after a decade for the R15.
I'm not a fan of Taylormade Irons because as a high (~17) handicapper I just find them impossible to hit but the Pings have done wonders for my score since I got them a few years ago on Ottawa Golf.
The 50* Anser Wedge was thrown in with the pings and I have to say it's the greatest club I have ever owned. I used to try to avoid anything from 120-0 and now I just go for it because I know I can get it close with that thing.
I hate my putter but that might be my fault more then the putters. I'm not sure if a hammer style is right for me but I got no clue how to figure that out without breaking my bank.
Titleist : 913 D3 driver, 913 3-5 fwys, 913 3-4-5 hys. 714 AP1s 5-P,W48,W52. SM4s 56-60-64. Scotty Select putter.
Naturally not all in my bag at same time !! Fwy woods for wider forgiving fwy courses (ex eQuinelle) - hybrids for narrower fwy courses (ex Eagle Creek).
Mixed bag for me - Cobra, Ping, Titleist, Odyssey.
Callaway legacy aero driver
Adams dhy 20 and 23 (yes big gap there but seem to hit the hybrids consistently )
Mizuno mx 25 5 to pw
Bridgestone west coats design wedges 54/58
Scotty red X torched mallet
Old Titleist cart bag
Mixed bag of tricks for me
TM Sldr driver
TM Sldr 3wd TP
Nike Covert 5 wd
Nike Covert 4 hybrid
Adams CB3 5-pw
Vokey SM 50 deg
TM TP 54 deg
TM TP 58 deg
Yes! Donna putter
* all subject to change at any given time :-)
I like the idea of it 1 brand but cant seem to get everything working for me under one roof.
I was all Titleist forever until this year
Now TM woods/irons but Vokey wedges/Scotty Putter.
I think the forgiveness with TM is a hard trade off unless you are a really pure striker - even then - you give up some forgiveness.
