If You Were Offered a Staff Deal with any OEM Golf Company Which One Would You Pick?!

Recommended Posts

Dream scenario you just accept a new job offer at a private golf club and the director of golf says "pick any club company you like and I'm going to get you a full staff deal with them."

Lets assume PXG is out of the question. What company are you picking and why? Ping? Titleist? Taylormade? Callaway? Mizuno? Cobra? Wilson Staff?

 

I'd love to hear your ideas and thoughtful responses!!

The one that pays most ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all joking aside my top 3 would be super close and almost interchangeable

1 Mizuno I like there entire lineup now, the irons are my favorite and I like the 190 woods. Haven’t hit the 200’s yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Plus their hybrids are decent

2 Callaway I liked the Epic Sub Zero Ok, their X Forged irons are nice and their hybrids are my favorites

3 Titleist I like their woods ok, hybrids ok, utility irons are my favorite of the bunch and their irons are decent, not my first 2 choices, but if they are paying me to play them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

If I had to choose just one company for the entire bag, I'd have to choose Mizuno. I feel they are solid throughout the bag. The ST200 is my second favorite driver, Mizuno irons are excellent, and I cycle a Mizuno 190 TS 3-wood in and out of my bag. I haven't played their wedges, but I assume they are similar in quality to their other products. I also assume their putters are good to go, though I'm not toI picky about putters.

I would hate to give up the Mizuno blades, but I would go Titleist. Their designs are classic, they don't get into the gimmicks and hype (comparatively, at least) and their quality control is the best. They also have great products in every category, from Scotty to Vokey to a solid iron game and great hybrids and woods. Driver has traditionally been a weakness, but not anymore.

I have come to believe I am not a discriminant club guy because my top 3 are very different types of companies!

Ping - Blueprints are the real deal, woods perform as good as anythingTaylormade - Love the woods, wedges are sweet and everything else is better than goodTitleist - All around solid products year after year, classic performance in every category

Titleist. Then I’d tell that Cameron guy exactly how I want my new 009 built. And I’d use new ProV1X balls for every shot, including the ones at the range. Their bags are sick and they make my favorite gloves too! FJ clothing & shoes? Absolutely!

 

Now if they’d just make a Supercar and a V12 SUV...

Mizuno - those irons are just too sweet to give up and the new woods are amazing, would be hard to not play my vokeys & scottyTitleist - if i just couldn't give them up id have to choose titleist, love their fairway and hybrids but keeping turning over the TS drivers and those irons all though nice are not Mizuno'sEither way I'm keeping my Bridgestone ball in play

Titleist - no question about it and I think my signature will tell you all that you need to know on that. Simply cannot see past them.PING - they look much better than they used to back in the day and are solid right through the bag.Mizuno - obviously everyone seems to love them, again, solid performance throughout the bag pretty much.

Titleist, Ping or Callaway

But to be honest if I got free clubs I’d be very happy

3 wood = Callaway Smoke-Ai Max HL

3 Hybrid = Tour Edge Exotics C722
Irons = 4-PW Miura KM 700
Gap Wedge = Miura HB 50*

Ping. Their drivers and woods fit me better than any other company. I could just switch to the S55 and still be playing a similar iron.
