How much does brand loyalty matter to you?

I've just changed driver quite recently and now don't carry more than one brand in my bag.

Nike driver
TM fairway
Adams hybrid
Titleist irons
Callaway wedges
YES! putter

If I had to pick a favourite brand it would be Titleist but really brand loyalty does nothing for me, I've got a very mixed bag at the moment and for the foreseeable future not much will change apart from the putter if Santa is as kind as I hope.

Does brand loyalty effect you?
 
Not really no. Currently have TM driver/3 wood, Titleist hybrid, Orka irons and wedges and a Ping putter. Will happily play any of the premium balls, tend to use Srixon gloves, have a Golfstream trolley and Sun Mountain and Titleist bags.

More brand loyal clothing/shoes wise (more due to finding stuff that I know is decent quality and fits me)
 
not really though i do like Mizuno stuff and get on well with it, i do have a few diff woods at the moment so would always go with what worked best and felt the nicest.
 
Only a little.

I'm a fan of either value or high performance, slightly 'under the radar' brands, though both Adams and Matrix have become mainstream since I first started using them over 10 years ago.

Bettinardi appealed to me for the same reason and simply worked, though I've had over a dozen different ones! Tour Stage/Bridgestone and Sonartec (now defunct) are my style. Also had Tour Edge Exotics, Miura and Vega in the past. Not a lot of Titleist, but 6 sets of Taylor Made TM300 Forgeds and quite a few of their Drivers. Still got a Cally FT3 that gets it out there a decent distance with a links flight!
 
Have had a few of a couple of different brands and so will look at those favourably when seeking out new kit, simply because they have worked in the past. However as always performance is the biggest factor, hence why I ended up with a Cleveland 588 hybrid (it simply worked better than the others).
 
Never keep anything long enough to develop any sort of brand loyalty.

For example I must have had over 20 different brands in irons and they cover nearly 50 different sets.
 
I'm carrying 2 Cobra woods (Driver and 5) an Adams tight lies 3 wood and an Adams new idea 4 hybrid. TM irons, a Vokey wedge and a Yes putter.
Can't get more mixed up than that can I?
 
I tend to veer towards brands I've liked in the past. I will give most a chance but can't for the life of me forget how much I hated the tinny cheap feeling and sound cobra had on their woods and drivers before they started upping their game.

The sound gives me nightmares. :mmm:
 
TM SLDR driver. TM RBZ 3 wood & hybrids. Titliest irons & wedges. Odyssey putter. Previous set of irons were TM, but were horrible and didn't last a year. Previous driver & 3 wood were Titliest.
 
Always seem to play well with Cobra irons but will (and have....) try anything really.

Currently got a Ping driver, Cleveland 5w, Cobra irons and wedges and a Mizuno/Odyssey putter.

Actually might stick with these clubs for a while now....:whistle:
 
I have Titleist driver and three wood, Ping hybrids, Mizuno irons, and Odyssey putter, all in a Sun Mountain bag. If it works it will go in the bag, but still looking.:(
 
I like taylor made but have a few stragglers in the bag

Shouldn't matter what make people like

I try all makes and will buy what I feel happy and confident with :thup:
 
Blimey, are there really people who find equipment that they prefer, or that suits them better, but decide not to change because they don't want to be disloyal?
It's golf stuff not your missus :D
 
MotoCaddy Trolley with Sun Mountain H2NO cart bag or Mizuno carry bag, SLDR driver, Cleveland 13* & 17* woods, SLDR 19* hybrid, Cleveland 7w, MP-52 irons & MP-T4 wedges, Ping putter.

The Clevelands are giving way to more TM woods and I'm having a fitting on Sunday for the TM RSi irons and really fancy a Daddy-Long-Legs putter, so, I'm starting to lean heavily towards TaylorMade.
