I bought today.....

Quite liked the look of the new Adidas stuff that came out today, don't need anything other than lessons...but somehow ended up with a retro looking mid layer.
 
Titleist adapter for a driver shaft. I've got a Tensei White shaft that has a Callaway adapter on it just now, going to find someone to change it over and give it a try with the TSR3 head.
 
Mizuno JPX 923 Tour 5 - GW, as per the sig.

They are replacing a set of Hot metal Pro, I tried, but I just can't get away with the chunky monkeys.

Back to being a short knocker.

Swapping a hybrid for the equivalent iron was the best thing I've done in ages. Took a lot of persuasion from the wise souls on here to push me to do it

Same here. I now have a club (5 hybrid) that I am confident with and the results are so much better than with a 5 iron where dispersion was erratic at times.

I wouldn't mind betting any US mfrs are in fact just assemblers. Shafts and heads mfr in the far East, assembled on site. Tariffs will see prices go up for some new gear. Ironically, some European customers may escape as the smart companies will ship directly from the far east to Europe and assemble there. There will still be tariffs, just not at the same level. The big hit will be for the US consumer.

As you say they are largely assemblers but that will still leave them facing tariffs on the component parts.

Balls will be less of an issue as I believe a high proportion are actually manufactured in US plants. Even a Japanese company like Bridgestone produces balls in America.

It requires a fair bit of research to find out.
A brand name might be considered American, but controlling financial ownership could be anywhere in the world.

Cobra is based in California. Shafts and grips are made in Mexico and imported to be assembled in California.
Puma bought Cobra in 2010.
Puma is a German company founded by Rudolf Dassler when he and his brother Adolph split their family business. Adolf founded Adidas.
Puma was listed on the German stock exchange since 1986.
Rudolph's two sons sold their 72% stake in Puma to Swiss business Cosa Liebermann in 1989.

Is Cobra (based in California) a Swiss owned company? Or German? Or American?
Your guess is as good as mine.
 
J Lindeberg brolly from Scottsdale Golf in the sale for £25. Been needing a new brolly for a while but wasn't wanting to pay £40+ for one.
