One make or mixed bag of clubs

TM Driver
Ping 5 Wood
Titliest Hybrid
Ping irons
Ping wedges
SC Putter

The 5wood and wedges have recently been swapped from a Titliest and Cleveland.

I buy what I like and what suits. I do know people who, if they get a new driver will have to get matching woods as a minimum, but usually end up with a full matching set and bag.

Mizuno 3wood and 3 hybrid
Mizuno mp20 HMBs
Scotty Cameron Futura X 8

When I went for the wedge fitting I wanted to love the Mizuno T20 wedges, to try and at least have close to everything matching, but the Ping Glide Forged were so much better for me. But at least they match the driver!

I think you may need to update your signature:

Mixed make all the way. As long as it works and it's not red* I'll give it a go.

* If it's blue I'm more likely to buy it.

Oh dear! The only thing that is still correct is the handicap (sadly!)! ?

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.

Works for Viktor Hovland and Lee Westwood.

Personally I love Mizuno, (see signature for evidence) and found myself slowly gathering more and more until I found myself, not really by design, only a putter away from a full Mizuno bag, so I pulled the trigger and there it was, a Mizuno bag full of Mizuno clubs.

It only lasted a short time before wholesale changed ensued. I did nearly have a full Srixon bag once, and I would actually like a full bag of one brand but as already stated it's particularly practical.

Toffee?

Toffee?

That may have something to do with it but I'm a little colour blind and I've never found red very pleasing to look at.

Not a single Mizuno product listed

Don’t forget matching cap and clothing too.

Gone are the glory days when you could proudly promote a single brand of equipment and head to toe gear. I remember a mate of mine with the ubiquitous little swoosh on all his golf equipment and clothes.

These days I can only think of Mizuno which does everything. Titleist/Footjoy and Cobra/Puma are the same company, but in both cases you need to sport different brands. Am I missing anything?

I'd like to thank my sponsors for the W...

Ping do make clothes as well so you could go full Ping w****r. Callaway do but your putter would say Odyssey so maybe doesn't count.

Ping don't do golf balls though... ?

To be fair the quality of the Ping clothing is top drawer especially in terms of fit (for me) and you can usually get some good deals on last years range so not overly expensive as well.

Ahhh I didn't think of that. I wonder why they don't?

 

[Bratty]

They stopped in 1997 apparently (I googled it to make 100% sure I was right before I typed my previous post!), but I didn't bother reading the article. You've piqued my curiosity now...

Here's why, maybe...! ??

But..but...Srixon do that now...?

 

[Orikoru]

I wonder if they had to pay Ping for original idea?

Apparently the Ping ones are worth a fortune now. Maybe Srixon thought people might start collecting theirs? Whoever you chose, they're still s***e! ?
