Question The first word that comes to mind
What is the first word that comes to mind in terms of generalized performance character when these brands are mentioned?

Here are my thoughts.

Callaway - Forgiving
Cobra - Distance
Ping - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)
Titleist - Unforgiving
Taylormade - Tinkering
Nike - Crap (No offense to Nike users.)
Bridgestone - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)
Srixon - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)
Mizuno - Butter (Only irons apply)
Adams - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)
Cleveland - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)
Nickent - (Don't really have a word that comes to mind)

this seems familiar but...
Callaway - Forgivness and shovely irons
Cobra - Way too light, every club
Ping - Aholes but some solid sticks. If not for thier reputation I'd give them a shot.
Tit'eist - Players sticks. Love the Vokey's
Taylormade- Woods, best on the planet
Nike- Getting better but still a lower quality stigma for me
Bridgestone- Player sticks
Mizuno- Irons, irons and irons.
Srixon- Most underrated line, awesome clubs.
Adams- Game improvement but a better line of player stuff out now
Cleveland- Never hit one I liked Hibore XL, worst driver I've ever hit
Nickent- Game improvement, High and mad backspin.

I might have to use two words for some of these:

Callaway - being considered
Cobra - underrated
Ping - one day!
Titleist - Vokeys
Taylormade - mistake (i.e. buying my R5!)
Nike - Samsquamch
Bridgestone - hidden gem
Srixon - see above
Mizuno - overrated
Adams - hybrids
Cleveland - value
Nickent - fugly

Hope I've not offended anyone!

Still do, my SW,

Hey, I don't mind wearing a skirt and hitting from the red tees. Breathability and smaller holes,

Callaway - Bertha
Cobra - Long
Ping - offset
Titleist - player
Taylormade - woods
Nike - Tiger
Bridgestone - player
Srixon - Carnivore balls
Mizuno - soft
Adams - idea
Cleveland - Awesome
Nickent - hybrid

Sorry, the Srixon one isn't one word, but all I can think of is that talking golf ball with the big teeth beside Jim Furyk.

Cobra - Hooked face
Ping - Fitting
Titleist - Arrogant (the customer service is terrible)
Taylormade - TP
Nike - Marketing
Bridgestone - Underrated
Srixon - Sumatoma (The name of the Rubber company that owns the brand)
Mizuno - Forged
Adams - Underrated
Cleveland - Wedges (They should just stick with them)
Nickent - Innovative
