'One OEM for the bag' game. 2019 editi

A tried and true forum topic! I haven't seen one lately. If anyone has a recent one of these please send me the link and I'll delete. Otherwise....

You need to make your entire bag from 1 manufacturer. If they make it, your using it. If they don't make it, you can sub. Why and what category do you like the least? Lets try to keep it for current product lines.

For instance, I'll take Cobra.

Their drivers have gotten so good! F9 10.5

I love how shallow and compact their fairways are. I'll take F9 3w and 5w.

Their players irons have been underrated for years. Minimal offset and perfect lines. King CB/MB 3-P please.

Not a lot of selection with the wedges, which is why this is my least favorite category. Trusty rusty raw needs to make a comeback in 2020! King wedges 52, 58

They don't make putters so I'm sticking with my oldie. Odyssey Protype 2.

No ball either, I'll take Bridgestone Tour B XS

p.s.- I'm not wearing the Puma hi tops.

Go!

Callaway would be solid

Epic Flash TD

Epic Flash SZ 15*

X forged UT 18*

Apex MB Raw 3-PW

MD5 Raw 55-60*

Toulon Garage latrobe

Titleist.

TS3 9*, A1 Tensei orange 60 X

TS3 15* (16.5*), Hzrdus Smoke Black 70 X

T-MB 2i (U500 if not allowed, I just prefer a thinner top line) Hzrdus Smoke Black 90 X

620CB 4i (1* strong) TTDG S400

620MB 5i - P (1* strong) TTDG S400

Vokey 50-10, 54-12, 58-06 blah blah blah grind TTDG S200

Some Scotty blade @ 32"

Club grips GP Tour Velvet (360 on driver, 3w)' standard putter grip (#nofatties)

Titleist ProV1

Think that covers it.

If I had the cash I'd go wilson staff:

Cortex Driver (or D300 closeout)

C300 fairways (3, 5)

Staff Model Blades 3-P

FG tour pmp wedges 52/58

And an infinite windy city.

If a mysterious 2 grand magically appears tomorrow, I'll place an order...

I think I would chose Ping

G400 Max 9

G410 3 Wood 14.5

G410 Hybrid 17

Blueprint 3-W

Ping Glide 3.0 - 52,58

Ping Anser

Chrome Soft

I could fit a bag for any of the following and be quite happy:

Wilson

Ping

Taylormade

Callaway

Titleist

Cobra

Mizuno

I’d go Ping.

G410 Driver, 15 degree 3W, 3 Hybrid

i210 4-PW

Glide 3.0 50, 54, 58

Anser 2 putter

Hoofer bag (5 way top)

Bridgestone Tour B X

Tough question here. Think I'd have to go Taylor made

M6 driver/3w

P790 4-gw

Hi toe wedge set up

Spider x

Tp5

It'd be down to Ping, Callaway and Mizuno for me. If I actually had to game the bag, I'd go with Ping because while I like Mizuno irons and Callaway putters the most, I only hit those marginally better than Ping irons and putters while I hit the Ping woods a lot better than either Mizuno or Callaway.

Titleist mainly because I play Cameron.

Taylormade because I think they have the most complete line up.

I've never played a Callaway club but I like the looks of all offerings currently. Same for Ping at the moment. My bag is mostly Wilson Staff and TEE is that weird? I think I could play a whole bag of TEE. EXS, CBX woods/blades/wedges and a Glod putter.

If one OEM, Ping. A mixed bag would be Cobra and Ping. Excuse my TM putter listed below.

I could go full up with just about any of the major oem’s and be just fine. That stated, if I had to pick one, I’m going PING. G410 driver, 3-wood, 3/4 hybrids and 5-U. Glide wedges and Ketsch putter.

I’m perfectly happy with my M4 driver thru 4 hybrid. I’d go fitted 790, hi toe wedges and a spider.

Titleist would be my only chance. Would replace the irons in my Signature with 718 AP2, 718 CB, or T100. Would have to hold my nose when using the Cameron putter however. Not a fan of his shtik.

The new Cobra woods could make this a closer battle.... but would have to be Callaway.

Epic flash SZ woods are strong, driving iron is ok but I would probably just go straight Apex Pro 3i anyway, blades are bladey (call me crazy but I actually love the look of the new protos), and the wedges match my eye. Coulda been Ping if they tweak that forged wedge just a little bit.

Also sure I could find something between the Odyssey/Toulon lines.

Travis Matthew/Cuater apparel is solid especially with the new shoe putting them firmly on the soft-good map!

Cobra ALL DAY LONG....they’ve been underrated for years and everyone’s finally realizing how good they are. However, if money was not required I’d go the PXG route as I’ve had great success with their XF and 0211 irons

Option 1: Cobra

Speed-zone Driver

Speed-zone Big Tour 3

F6 Baffler

Forged Tec irons 5-Gw

King Black wedges 54/60

Mannkrafted putter

Option 2:

PXG

Gen2 0811X 10.5’

Gen2 0341X 15’

Gen2 0317X 19’

Gen2 0311 X Driving iron 21.5’

Gen3 XF irons (5-G)

0311T Darkness 55/12’, 60/8’

Gen2 Brandon H

Scotty 35”

ProV1x

Taylormade

Read signature whole bag is there, so is bag.

Everyone has a big time driver, and everyone has a beautiful blade. So to me it comes down to aesthetics of fairways, wedges, and putter.

I think it has to be Titleist this year. Top to bottom everything is classic, yet modern. Then they went and fucked it up with the SM8, but that’s an issue for 2020.

Plenty of new SM7s out there still. ;)

I am #TeamTitleist. See signature...

Just need to update my wedges!

I'd probably have to go with Mizuno, despite having never hit a Mizuno driver or fairway. Worst case scenario; I know I'd dig the MP-20s.

Titleist

Top stuff from driver to putter, no part of their lineup could be considered weak, and something for everyone

Plus they even make a pretty good damn ball!

I could do TaylorMade but someone would have to wrestle my Vokeys away from me.

I just did an iron fitting and picked Taylormade 760s so i'd fill out the bag from there. I already play a high toe lob, but like the look of the MG2 wedges for gap and sand. I play a TS3 driver now but that barely beat out an M5 so that is an easy switch. Plenty of options in fairway and hybrids but I'll try an m5 3 wood and gapr mid 3 hybrid. Then maybe a Juno putter, have never liked a spider when rolling them in the store.

M5 9.5 Driver

M5 3 Wood

Gapr mid 3 hybrid

769 Irons 4-pw

MG2 50, 54

High Toe 60

Tm Juno putter

I have a very mixed bag now (5-6 brands depending). I could happily go 1 OEM for Titleist, Taylormade, Callaway, or Ping (likely PXG too, just no experience with them) None of which are my current irons (Srixon)

Bottom line, the gear today is great! Put my first Callaway club ever in my bag this year and it was the seasons stand out favourite (Flash 3w)

I’d go with Ping if I had to only go with one OEM.

They seem to have something I like for every place in my bag.

My least favorite offering from them is their irons, although that has improved the past couple of years.
