Woods - TaylorMade (Even though I play Mizuno MP 630!).

Irons - Mizuno - I just dont think you get a better feel off any other make of irons.

Wedges - Anything by Roger Cleveland (Cleveland or Callaway) or Titleist Vokey's

Putters - Mizuno - I have a Bettinardi C-01 and it is just perfect, I also have recently bought a Line90 Terenaki from Greg and its also very good. Think the majority will go with Titleist Scotty's here though.

Balls - Wilson Staff, for me they are very underated. I just dont get on with Titleist balls. Srixon and Bridgetsone a very close 2nd.
 
For me it's :

Woods; Taylormade
Irons; Mizuno
Wedges; Cleveland
Putters; odyssey,
Balls; Titleist

Pretty much how my bag is set up although I have TM irons.

I would imagine most will go along with there set ups? :)

Woods, irons and wedges = Titleist

Putters = depends on how I'm playing

Balls = Like Bridgestone B330s at the moment, but could be a different one tomorrow
 
Woods; Titleist
Irons; Mizuno
Wedges; Titleist
Putters; Scotty or Ping
Balls; Titleist or Bridgestone

I think you could argue that TM and Callaway make high performance woods but you just cant touch the quality of Titleist.


Mizuno win on irons for looks, sound, feel and quality. Titleist would be second for the same reasons but don't apparel the same way to me.

Putters are all about personal taste so hard to comment more



Wedges, Vokeys just do and look like they should, I would love to like Mizuno wedges but I dont and Cleveland always feel to light to me.


Balls, I just love the NXT Tour but the Bridgestone E6 is also a lovely feeling ball although I don't know much about how it flys as I use them in a net. Who is going to argue with the ProV

Woods - Taylor Made probably although the Titleist 910 gave them a shake.

Irons - For me it's Titleist although Mizuno probably equally as good

Wedges- Vokey, so many loft and bounce options

Putters - SeeMore ;) all joking aside Odyssey or Scotty Cameron although both pretty different as Scotty's are on the whole milled faced and Odyssey's with an insert.

Balls - Titleist although lots of premium balls giving the a run for their money.
 
Woods - TM
Irons - Mizuno
Wedges - Vokey's
Putter - Odyssey
Balls - Titliest

But are we talking quality of materials or what works for an individual. For example, I love the looks and feel of Mizuno irons but every time I've been for a fitting session the results clearly suggest they don't work for me.
 
Titleist make the best everything.

That's why I have none in my bag.

(Actually, I do have a Vokey SW....)
 
Woods...Titleist
Irons.....Orka
Wedges....Cleveland/Vokey
Putters....Odyssey
Balls.....Titleist/TM

I can see why TM drivers are so popular but I actually find them very clunky. Had a couple in the past (R7/R9) and they both worked well but they just weren't satisfying to hit.

Used to use Mizuno irons but then I discovered Orka forged blades and quite simply, they take Mizuno to the cleaners.

Balls are obviously very personal although a lot of it is in the head, most people couldn't actually tell what ball they were hitting if the markings were covered up.
 
Drivers Titleist
Fairways Ping
Hybrids Taylormade
Irons Mizuno
Wedges Cleveland/Vokey Tie
Putter Whatever works but Ping due to there fitting
Balls Srixon/Bridgestone Tie

Very subjective but money no option i would load my bag up like this
 
In my limited experience of modern equipment, I would say the following:

Woods...Ping. In fact just on Wednesday, I tried my current Ping Driver against the Titleist 910. Hit 5 drives with my Ping Rapture and 5 with the 910. Furthest 4 balls were with my Ping. Shaft could've been a factor I guess?

Irons.....Mizuno, Titleist AP & Callaway Tour are all good. I am not best qualified to judge on this really though.
Wedges....Cleveland in my view but all the pros use Vokeys
Putters....Odyssey and Ping
Balls.....Titleist - without any shadow of doubt​
 
Got to be Ping.

Oversize drivers? Copied from Ping (Eye2).
Cavity back offset irons? Copied from Ping.
And we all know about the Ping Anser putter being copied by anyone that can.

They also recognised the effect of grooves 20 years ago.

I note that Ping never went into the adjustable driver market unlike others.

As for balls, I like the Callaway range.
 
Great Question. Sure to many different answers

Woods -- Nike
Irons -- Ping
Wedges -- Cleveland
Putters -- Ping
Balls -- Bridgestone

Now i chose bridgestone based on the fact it was them who origially designed the PRO V1 all them years ago, and that ball has changed the face of golf and golf ball design
.
 
Whichever make of club hits the ball where I want it to go with the swing I put on it is the best...
The rest is just subjective
