Stick Together?

[xman1112]

How do you guys feel about trying to use gear from the same manufacturer?

Maybe not so much the entire bag but at least smaller groups : woods, irons, wedges...

I know we're not getting paid to parade around using certain pieces of equipment; but does it make a difference to you from a feel or confidence standpoint?

not at all - I want each club to be the best fitting club possible - my irons don't even match
Take wedges for example - if you want one with low bounce and one with high bounce, you might really limit your options if you try to stay within one line.

I use what works at the best deal I can find. I think it's kind of feminine to have all matching clubs for the sake of it... yes Twofast, I aimed that right at you!!

I also just realized I need to change my sig.. Wilson Staff Kirk Currie II boots the 3rd Scotty Cameron from my bag, lol.

When I joined Shot Talk I had a complete bag of Cleveland products other than my putter. But through experimenting and ho'ing I've found just because a companies driver suits my game, does not mean their fw's, irons or hybrids will.

I play what works best for me, but to each their own.

I have my irons listed as Nike blades, but in all honesty that is just because they are the majority of the irons in my bag. I have three armour evo's and one TM RAC 200 the forged cavity back. My wedges are all titleist but I have ground them and put lead tape in odd places to get them to the right feel. I just don't like the way other wedges looked at address. So I obviously don't feel that you need to stick with one brand of clubs unless someone is paying you to do so.

I like my irons to be the same. Right now the TMs, before that Titleist blades, before that Mizuno blades. I also like my wedges the same. Vokeys for quite some time. I like the uniform look from club to club at address.

I used to carry the same kind of FW woods, but now that I carry the hybrids and just one FW wood that doesn't apply.

Driver has varied through the last several years. For ten plus years I played the original Burner Bubble Titanium driver and mixed it with different sets of TM FW woods.

Only the ragingist of homos have an entire bag of one company.

When I was teaching and hitting in the demos, i HAD to play 14 TM clubs. But when I would play in tournaments and such i always switched out the 3wood for a TEE, wedges for Bstone, and 3-4 iron for Rac OS.

Hehehehe you alwas make the funniest comments hehehehe

Nothing wrong with a full bag of one maufacturer if they fit your game. I ran around with a full bag of GS products for many years when I was strictly using component clubs and had a combination of Snake Eyes and GS clubs in the bag.

Currently, I am about as close as I have ever been to having a full bag on one manufactureer, but I can not forsee anything kicking out the Jones Hybrids or the Rife putter.

To each his own. If you want a full bag on one OEM, go for it. If your afraid of Lyle calling you a homo, stick a different club in the bag.

EXACTLY why I left the cally 4w in the bag rop: Though I did make the nice colors just for him!

 

[Youngun5]

....i'm only loyal to one make of club....the club that works!

Having said that, my bag has about 6 different brands.

I was having trouble with wedges, and just got finished making them all the same brand/type...this has given them each a very consistent feel and has made my wedge game as strong as its ever been. but thats about it.

 

[mddubya]

I guess I should clarify what I said. I do like all my irons to be the same brand and model, and all my wedges of the same brand and model. Not because I'm worried about how they look, but I want them all to feel as much alike as possible. But as my signature shows, I have a wide variety of brands between my driver, fw, hybrids, wedges and putter.

 

[xman1112]

Whatever works! It's all about feel to me, not what looks good or impresses other people when they look in my bag.

I remember seeing Sergio in a tournament last year using a Scotty putter, with the TM Rossa headcover because of his deal with them.

I like TM stuff, and I just so happen to have my clubs fit to my needs, and swing.

Most of it IS Taylormade, but the 3-wood is usually a Cobra, and my lob is a Scratch.. My putter is a SeeMore.

I got the TM wedges, because at the time, they were cheaper than a SM Vokey.
