One make or mixed bag of clubs

[Brads]

What’s folks thoughts ?
Do some get a full bag of one make because they like them or are a bit ocd ? Lol
Or do most mix and match to suit what they hit best ?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Quite OCD so all has to be the same make. OCD extends to then having bag from same make and matching umbrella.

Previously ocd but now it’s what works, I generally group sections of my bag although you could argue there is still an element of ocd.

Driver & fairway - cobra speedzone.
Hybrids - callaway Apex 17 ( only purchased as the heads are identical to previous adams a16’s
Irons - cally apex cf16’s
Wedges - fg tour Wilson
Putter - scotty.

In the past I’ve had full TM branded bags.

Always go with what suits you best

If that’s a bag of all the same make then do it but imo don’t go don’t discount other names as a lot of times the best makes of drivers are aren’t always the best make of irons for example

I have TM Woods - driver , 3 wood and hybrid
Mizuno irons
Titleist wedges
TM putter

It goes against common sense to have a full bag of the same make. What are the chances that say, Ping make the best driver for you, the best irons for you, the best putter & wedges? I love Ping drivers but I'm not a fan of their irons. I use Cleveland wedges but I wouldn't really go for one of their drivers. I really like my Evnroll putter but they don't even make other clubs! It's just about finding what works.

Having said that I like to match things to a smaller extent. As in, both my woods are the same club, both my hybrids are the same club, three of my wedges are all Cleveland. I don't think I could handle a bag like Bernhard Langer's, where his 7 iron doesn't even match his 8 iron.

I have a mixed bag only the irons 7-PW match.
I have a matching 6 iron but it has sat in the bedroom after a couple of uses but I have stuck with the same make and model of 6 iron I have used for about 8 years.

I have my favourite brands, and least favourite but there’s nothing really in that, only perception, and it doesn’t stop me from not buying a good deal 2nd hand or what the fitter suggests is a good fit

 

[need_my_wedge]

I used to be a little OCD and would mostly match the brand for woods and irons (and maybe bag & brolly), with perhaps the wedges and putter being the only exception. These days I'm fairly oblivious, it depends on what I like/ feel works best. Currently I have:

Cobra driver/ 3 wood and hybrid
Mizuno irons
Titleist gap / sand wedges
ICY Golf lob wedge
Odyssey Putter (sometimes swapped with Scotty)

 

[Beezerk]

Mixed for me, nothing funnier than seeing a full kit winker strolling down the fairway ?

 

[BiMGuy]

Don’t forget matching cap and clothing too.

My first 4 sets were all matched, not for any reason other than it tended to be what you did back then

Since about 2005 I've had a mixed set of what works best, but I'll be going into 2022 with an entire set of Pings of various description, maybe a TM 4 wood instead of a Ping 3 wood, and an Odyssey putter, but that's it. Not OCD, just that they're what's come out best. I actually prefer a mix and match, but you gotta go with what works.

Yeah, when I was a lad playing with my mum and dad I had no concept of mixing and matching clubs - I just thought you buy a whole set of clubs and away you go. It was only when I got back into playing, and signed up to this forum, that I realised people generally don't do it that way.

 

[evemccc]

What about matching shafts, albeit a heavier one for 3/5W > Driver?
Or matching swing weights? How important is this?

Also, is swing weight a technical measurement of clubhead, or of the whole club? How do OEMs state the swing-weight on the marketing, when they offer different shafts as stock (let alone customised aftermarket shafts) if it’s of the whole club?

Have you been spying on me? ?
I used to have a mixture of clubs in a Titleist bag. Somehow I now have a full set of Titleist gear as they just seemed to work best when I bought new gear.
Before my bag became all Titleist it consisted of:
Ping driver
Callaway 3 wood
Orka rescue
KZG irons
Mizuno lob wedge
Odessey 2 ball putter.

Varies, sometimes I'll play all the same make and even model, other times a complete mix.

When I first got serious about golf a couple of years ago I thought the logical thing was to have the same of everything, so I swapped my driver, irons and bag and went 100% Taylormade (apart from odyssey putter). Then, as my game changed and I became addicted to tinkering, I’m now mix and match. This is after a lot of tinkering, including selling a wood/driver, replacing it, hating it, buying the same as I had before etc etc!

Srixon irons
Tm driver
Ping 3 wood (ordered)
Ping hybrid
Cleveland wedges
Odyssey putter
Can’t remember what cartbag, powakaddy I think
Tm carry bag
Titleist balls

I'd pick whatever suits me best, no matter the brand.
I have Titleist Woods, Ping driving iron, Mizuno irons, Vokey wedges, TM putter, in a Ping trolley bag, Ping stand bag, or Titleist pencil bag
