Which would it be?
Just for fun...
Please indicate which models you would choose, and a little reasoning why.
Caveat that may be interesting - if the company in question makes a ball you have to play that too.

Bags/clothes etc excluded.

I know some people on here will be easy as they have all one brand bags anyway, still it would be good to hear why.

For me it would be one of the following:

Ping - because I love my ping woods and the demo I had on the I20 irons was great too. They just make really great gear all around.
I would play G20 driver, G20fw, i20 3H, i20 irons, tour wedges, an anser putter. As they don't make a ball I will take a Srixon zstar XV.

Nike - because I love my method core 5i putter and I already play the ball.
I would play VR pro ltd ed driver and FW, VRS hybrid, 4-pw Pro combo irons, whatever wedges from the VR line I guess (know nothing about their wedges!) and the method core 5i putter. One Tour D ball.

Mizuno - because I love their irons.
I don't know on the woods, I would have to test the JPX825 against the MP650 for driver and FW, MPH4 3i, MP64 4-pw (keep my MX23s in case I struggle with them!), MPT4 wedges, MP102 putter. As they don't make a ball I will take a Srixon zstar XV.


I think the most sensible choice is Ping, but if you put a gun to my head and made me choose I think I would have to go with Mizuno, the Nike putter would be hard to leave though.
 
Taylormade

R11s Driver, RBZ 3 wood, R11S 5 wood, 23*(?) R11 hybrid rescue, 5-pw R11 irons, 50+56 ATV Wedges and a TM Ghost Spider S Putter topped off with a Penta TP3 ball
 
I'd hate it as I love the mix and match

MD if I had to pay for it all

Ping if I didn't

I love the name Ping is my only reason
 
Titleist, I'd keep my Woods, then put in a 910 hybrid, 712 AP2 irons.

It's at the sorting end of the bag where I'd have issues, I'm not a massive fan of Vokeys or Scotty Putters. But I suppose that I'd have to make do! SM4 wedges, and a Newport 2 putter
 
Already mostly Titleist apart the 2 wedges which are Callaway, so would only have to change to vokeys(thinking of doing that anyways)

don't change to vokeys, they are rubbish apparently !!

I'd go for a callaway bag, nearly there after my recent iron purchase. I reckon I should use their balls also :D
 
Titliest because in my opinion they are the best across the range. I like Mizzi irons but not the woods, I like Nike irons but not the woods, and the same for Callaway. And is there a better premium than the Pro-v?
 
erm Callaway ;)

nah if it was money no object then probably Titleist, 913 driver, 910 fw, 910 hybrids, ap2 irons, vokeys, prov1x and a scotty squareback putter
 
I can see TM being an easy choice, and Titleist too, Nike would be easy for the whole kit as well.

How about Bridgstone?

The J40 woods get good reviews, so I could probably get the driver and fairway from that. Irons, it would be great to go with the J40 forged just to get some of the best feeling irons out there. West Coast Design wedges are beautiful and play great too. The putter would be tough as I've never even seen one over here, but the ViQ looks snazzy, and the B330 balls would be simple choice.
 
I'd probably go Titleist.
Already use Vokeys and have a 910 fairway, swapping irons to AP2 wouldn't be tricky, a RedX putter and a 913 to finish off.
The only issue I have is my Mizzy Hi-Fli - no real direct Titleist replacement.
ProV1x is already used...
 
Torn between Titleist and Mizuno (surprise surprise!) - either way it's a compromise as I've never fallen in love with Vokey wedges or Mizuno woods - it's a Pro-V on the ground though!
 
A lot of love for Titleist - no surprises there.
Mizuno losing out on the woods, again, I do wonder sometimes if they are a little hard done on that score. I hear great things about the MP titanium (and latterly MP650) fairways. Luke not playing them can't help them at all in terms of their rep.
I thought there might be a few more taylormades. I personally wouldn't choose them but they seem to be very popular.
 
Titleist, because I wouldn't have to buy anything new :D and they probably have the best full range although I wouldn't be offended if I had to have Ping or Mizzy.

I couldn't have TM because their constant launching of new products annoys me.

I use Titleist irons so would probably choose them although I have a lot of time for Taylormade. I still use my 07 burner driver from time to time and I've always loved TM fairway woods.
