Best Club Manufacturer

[Tiger]

If we ignore putting I hit most shots with my irons and wedges so for me it has to be Mizuno by a country mile. Changed from my cast Titleist AP1s & SM4 Vokeys to JPX 850 Forged & T5s in November and only regret not doing it sooner. Wonderful golf clubs.

If you had a separate category for woods I'd probably say Cobra.

Putters I've not tried enough. Ideally would like my Ping Anser 2 in a milled vesion with the TrueRoll grooves...

As much as I love titleist gear I think Mizuno is proper players clubs. MP5's are a thing of beauty!!!!

When I grow up I hope to be able to hit such clubs

 

[Tiger]

I really like the look of Mizuno stuff but couldn't afford to get a set

I'd love to see what brands such as Mizuno & Titleist are capable of knocking out if the were told the RRP for a set of irons would be half the current (or perhaps they'd then just be another Callaway/TM/Cobra & its just budgets that mean they knock out really nice looking gear)

I think a lot of people don't appreciate the level of craft that goes into Mizuno irons and wedges. They are forged clubs which is a more expensive and time consuming process. You can pick up a T5 or S5 wedge both forged with free shaft and grip upgrade for under £100. Compare that to the cost of the SM6's. Personally I think cast clubs are over priced when you look at the cost of mizuno forged offerings...

I've always loved the look of the Mizuno classic irons, not so much the JPX stuff though. Srixon's Z series is beautiful too. Orka gets a mention too. Don't like offset or heavy cavity backs, but that's just personal preference.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Don;t know - but if asked what I hunger after then that would be a nice set of Mizuno classic (blade) irons.

Benross. Read GM club reviews over the years. They consistently score highly, especially in value-for-money.

 

[Sats]

I think they're all good, can't really say I'm a fanboy as most fanboys are in dire need of a slap - droning on about why you should've got this or that, when really I should've put my 9 iron around their annoying kneecaps.

 

[Hendy]

not sure if its based on looks or build quality etc etc

But build wise and over all customer experience I have to say ping, maybe down to the fact that they dont really do forged irons. But seem to have been around from the dawn of time. Never seen them break or hear/read a bad report. From day one purchasing to sending a 10 year old set to replace a swing weight.. Never let down

 

[RW1986]

I'll say Mizuno. They'll definitely be the next brand I go to once I've finished with my Ping's which I'm using at the moment. I've had so many problems with them. 4 weights have fallen out of the back of the club heads on the i25's.

Cant wait to get a new set

 

[One Planer]

It's impossible to have one best answer as some OEM's are better than others at different rages.

For me:

Woods - Callaway
Irons - Mizuno/Cleveland
Wedges - Cleveland
Putter - Odyssey

 

[Qwerty]

Overall Based on product,service and reputation Ive gone for Ping.
If it was product alone I'd Vote Mizuno.

 

[bernix]

voted for PING although imo Cally are best for woods and Mizuno for irons and i love Titleist wedges but because overall if i had to chose a manufacturer to fill the entire bag it would be PING

 

[SugarPenguin]

Didnt think Ping would be taking top spot I must admit.
Thought Callaway would be doing better

 

[Vardon11LDN]

Didnt think Ping would be taking top spot I must admit.
Though Callaway would be doing better

I agree, I thought Callaway would be right up there

 

[TheJezster]

I agree, I thought Callaway would be right up there

I'd have voted for them if i hadnt voted for someone else

 

[seochris]

So is it saying that Ping are not the best at any one category (irons, woods etc) but very good at everything?

 

[MarkE]

I voted Mizuno, just for their irons. Woods are much of a muchness with all the big brands imo.

 

[JP58]

Thought i'd dive in with my first post on here,having just joined 5 mins ago !
Having played Mizuno irons for over 30 years, I've naturally voted for them, without doubt, imo, they have produced more classic irons than any other manufacturer, no doubt there will be differing opinions about that !

 

[MadAdey]

Interesting to read all the people that want Mizuno irons, just go get some then. I love them personally and have played Titleist, TM and Muzuno irons and still love Mizuno over all of them. I've had TP9, T-Zoid Pro II, MP-33, JPX 825 Pro😳 and now the MP-15.

Nothing feels like a Mizuno and for bling in the bag, people always look at them and drool at the sexiness.

 

[Merv_swerve]

Very subjective. I voted Ping as I use them and like them. Too many variables for me. Mizzy or Titleist make some of the best looking clubs to my eye, TM have some long (cranked) irons and Vokey make the best looking wedges

It's like you read my mind.
