One Brand Obsession

[Big Johnny69]

Does anyone else suffer from this?

Not sure why, but when I find some equipment I like, I like to set my whole bag up with that brand. My recent Bridgestone set up is the furthest I've ever gone with the one brand set up:

Driver: Bridgestone J33R 460
Fwy Wds: Bridgestone J33 3 wd (I hope)
Bridgestone J33 5wd
Irons: Bridgestone J33 Combos
Wedges: Precept/Bridgestone Prototypes 52/60
Putters: Now this is the only non-Bstone club in my bag only because the Tourstage putters are very rare and most times expensive: Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Laguna or Nickent Pipe (automatic from 5 ft and in)
Bag: Bridgestone grey carry bag
Accessories: 2 Bridgestone hats, 1 Bridgestone visor, Bridgestone Umbrella, 2 Bridgestone gloves, 2 Bridgestone towels, Precept/Bridgestone U-Tri Tour balls

There, I think that's it.

I can't bring myself to focus on just one brand.......but I can certainly understand your obsession

[GarthM]

Nope, just you Geoff....;-)

You are a retailers wet dream....

[Colby]

I play what I find works best.

[srennick]

Yup...I'm a completed Taylormade guy...

Driver: R5 TP "Tour"
Woods: TP Dual 16* and 19*
Irons: RAC TP 2005
Wedges: RAC FE302 50*, 56*, 60*
Putter: Scotty Cameron Catalina II
Bag: TM Tour Stand Bag

All TM Except for my Scotty Cameron.

I see people do the one brand thing all the time, but never have I seen someone do the one brand thing with sooooo many brands in so little time. Usually if someone is doing that, they have some sort of loyalty invested in that brand.

I've always had a soft spot for Ping, and I can put together a bag with 12 Ping clubs in it (no fws), but I'll play whatever works best for me.

[Ginker]

I would like to be all one brand but have a tough time finding one brand that has everything I want.. Now I have 9 TaylorMades and 5 non TaylorMade in the bag.. I once had an all Titleist bag. If they made a good iron I would go that route again...

[Big Johnny69]

Yup...I'm a completed Taylormade guy...

Driver: R5 TP "Tour"
Woods: TP Dual 16* and 19*
Irons: RAC TP 2005
Wedges: RAC FE302 50*, 56*, 60*
Putter: Scotty Cameron Catalina II
Bag: TM Tour Stand Bag

All TM Except for my Scotty Cameron.

Nice, so I'm not alone. And I know of at least one other one brand guy, c'mon Denny, speak up. Or should I say Mr. Titleist.

"Geofferia Syndrome
The Geofferia Syndrome is a very rare ilness which causes the people that posses it to buy a single brand of golf club to match their set. The origin of this ilness can be traced back to a special Gene possesed by a select few members of the Golf Resourse forums. Though it is still a mystery as to where exactly it began.

The only known cure right now if to transfer all monarary operations for that individule to their spouce or nearest loved one."

[Ginker]

If TaylorMade made a 50 degree wedge I could see me having an all TM bag (with exception of the putter) later this year

[rockford35]

Geoff,

You need that J33H I have in the Buy and Sell in there. Cheap.

Rescue Dual TP
Rac Black TP 60
TP Red Balls

yep...me too....that's the only thing stopping me right now as well.

[MusicMan]

Not funny.

i think it is

[Big Johnny69]

Interesting comment Colby, but I find most manufacturers offer a variety of equipment within any given line of clubs. So in today's world of fittings, unlimited shaft choices and lessons I can usually find something that works from pretty much any manufacturer. For me its looks first. If I like the look, I'll give it a try and go from there.

[davevandyk]

i tried to go all B'stone, but just couldn't settle on a shaft for the driver that worked as well as the other driver i had. Now i have a mess of clubs from different brands.

TM driver
B'stone 3wood
TM 5wood
Adams hybrid
B'stone J33 blades
Titleist GW and SW (Mizuno are likely in the near future)
Cameron putter

so that puts me at 4 brands, 5 brands if i go with the Mizzy wedges.

[Mattchew]

the brand bug got me this year....went to all Cleveland...did not have one club at the end of the year that was Cleveland. now thats all my bag is!

[Sakuraba]

Geoff, have you put bridgestone tires on your car yet? It was harder to find the Cleveland tires I imagine...

[Mattchew]

I was wondering the same thing just the other day! would not surprise me if he did! lol

[MusicMan]

LOL... doesnt surprise me at all he was the first reply.... and if not the first the second lol...

hey geoff i got some b'stones on my car, want those too? haha!

Nah, I've already got some for my car.

lol

[Gropper]

Well i am in the same boat i went all Nike this off season except my putter but i am still looking for a sweet unitized at a good price. Come on ebay!!!

Driver: Nike SQ 10.5
FW: Nike SQ 3W
Hybrid: Nike slingshot 17, 21, Nike CPR 24
Irons: Nike Pro Combo Tours 5-PW
Wedges: nike SV black 52, 56
Nike Carry bag
Diffrent Nike balls but Also use NXT

But i have been a Nike guy since i was a kid! love there shoes.!

[rgk5]

I've never been that way but if I was, Bridgestone/Toursatage would be it.

[dasnutz]

If TaylorMade made a 50 degree wedge I could see me having an all TM bag (with exception of the putter) later this year

I am sure your buddy Jamie at GT in Kanata would be able to bend a 52 degree back to 50 for you

[Wknd_Warrior]

Not that I buy a lot of clubs, but I do feel the call of the single brand. All my clubs but the putter are the same mfgr, and I'm working on the putter.

[MusicMan]

more people than i though suffer from this

[pvs1313]

i guess you couls say i do, although i do have a couple of off brands in my bag, but here goes,

driver, callaway x460 tour 9.5
3 wood and 2 iron are sonartec (but 3 wood will be replaced with a 15* x wood tour
3 and 4 hogan rescue (made by callaway of course)
irons, 5-9 x-tour
wedges, callaway forged 47,52,56
putter, cobra (to be replaced with an odyssey once ifind the one iwant)
balls, callaway, hx and warbird
shoes, callaway
bag callaway
glove callaway

and on and on i guess

Apparently WebMD is hiring 4 year-olds to proof read their articles. You can't really blame them for missing a few spelling mistakes now and then though, as finger painting and the jungle gym have distracted the best of us from time to time.

Psst Jarred... Firefox 2.0.0.2

I used to be all 1 brand.

Titleist:
90t
904f
731pm's
Vokeys
Cameron putter

but a few things have been replaced here and there.

904F was traded out for a Cobra X Speed
I carry a Nike 2i, sometimes a TM rescue

And most recently I moved to a Ping G5.

When looking @ clubs I start w/ titleist, as I have confidence in them due to my years of using them...also, years of using them gets me comfortable w/ the looks & address. But if something comes along that can knock a titleist item out of the bag on performance, it will ... i'm not brand loyal beyond giving them 1st crack at impressing me.

[MusicMan]

who has time to proof read?

Does firefox has a spelling aid?
