Best start using their ball as well to fit the childish stereotype being broadcast on here.

Well when I had my driver fitted I tried three other drivers and went with the one that gave me the best results

When I was fitted with my irons I tried both the MC and the AP2's and went with the ones that gave me the best results - the wedges were part of the set

And I tried countless putters and again went with the one that suited me the best

That's without seeing any advert or watching any telly campaign - it's called thinking and being comfortable with what I have in my hand and gave me the best results - so far it appears it's working as I'm about to become a cat 1 golfer.

As for bag - that's a Motocaddy to go with my trolley and I don't wear caps.

Surely at your level you should have tried more than two sets. As a 5 handicap you can get more out of clubs than most. Why didnt you try the other makes such as callaway ping cobra titelist nike.

Well I did try Titliest ( they make AP2's btw )

Don't like Cobra or Calloway and had Nike previously

I was quite happy with the choice I made

I have some sympathy for you here.

I am/was the biggest Mizuno hoar on here. At one point I had a bag full of MP clubs, and the bag to match.

Now I have what works for me, like LP.

Will I be changing anytime soon, nope, well not unless they break.

I tried, like you a bunch of gear at the fittings I had, in some cases it was a dead heat so I went what I felt comfortable with,the putter being a prime example. I could have brought an £80 Rife, but instead spent £200+ on a Scotty Cameron :mad:

Like I said I have sympathy for this, but being fitted and TM consistently being the best, from driver to putter is a bit rich for me.

On a slightly different note, I see Callaway have had yet another equipment launch. This one claiming 10 yards advantage over a club that isn't a year old.

Clearly they are trying to play TM at their own games, and on driving averages for last year (2013) they have appear to be shading it.

3 of the top 5 longest on your last year (2013) play Callaway.

:lol:

And I'm going to say you are talking utter tosh as behind the AP's just released they are the most anticipated golf iron at the moment and are going to fly of the shelf.
 
This thread is getting silly now, if someone wants a bag full of clubs from the same manufacturer so what and why does he has to justify himself over and over again?

I have had one fitting sessions for irons ( before it was off the shelf )

And three driver fitting sessions

The putter I picked myself without the help of anyone and it came down to looks between the Spider and an Odessy 2 Ball

Well I'll soon find out on Friday and I can guarantee that the rep will give a completely different story to your rep.

Amen brother!

I really cannot give a proverbial what is in other forumers bags no more than I am bothered whether they belong to traditional or proprietary clubs.

Horses (or in this case; golfers) for courses.

His not my rep. I'd never met the bloke before. If you get any news on friday then please post as these might be on my birthday list. But I have to say the three pga students at the belfry are all ping sponsored and they have been told the same.
