What is the Most Underrated Equipment OEM?

[golfinray]

Cleveland big time underrated.

Taylor Made the most overrated piece of crap in history.

Srixon / Cleveland

[Danny Young]

For me cleveland/strixon i also played some snake eyes for a long time that were very good.

Over here in the UK snake eyes are pretty much un heard of.

[ago33]

You could make a strong argument for callaway. Their XR and Apex lines are the bees knees and simply out preform anything else.

The users of them are probably too content with them to brag about them on the interwebs

[DevilDog]

There are some component, not clone, manufacturers that have some good stuff. Hireko Golf comes to mind. Their Acer line is designed in house and are pretty good products. KZ Golf is another and as mentioned Wishon.

[Other Barry]

I am voting for Cleveland AND McGregor. That's right MacGregor. Make a pretty legit blade and the MacTech driver (for me at least) is an absolute BEAST.

Srixon

I wish Cleveland would get back to making players clubs again. Their staff used to be awesome in the 2000's, Singh, Toms, Campbell, Kelly, Micheal, a lot of wins and majors

Cleveland is basically dead except for wedges, Srixon is coming in more now.

Man, I must be trippin' again. What year is it?

[jmvargas]

in the US most JDM equipment is underrated mainly due to limited availability and price..

but imo the best JDM stuff is head and shoulders above the best USDM equipment...bar none.

Bridgestone. They get some lover bio reall, they go almost unnoticed for all their clubs by th General golfing public. Their balls are popular, but I bet most golfers don't even know they make clubs. Surprisingly solid offerings in divers, fairways, irons, and wedges.
[/quote]

I think they make a very nice iron, but their drivers and fairways are so mediocre that I'm not sure any of their staffers bag them, other than Kuchar w/ the driver.

I agree that Cleveland is very underrated. The Lancher TL310 was an absolute bomber that can be had for a song and the 588 mb's and cb's were one of the best iron offerings of their generation and hardly anyone talked about them.

[DNice26]

Only one guy mentioned Wishon.....so I guess they are not even on the radar of most people? I checked their website and the forged options look quite nice.

[rennsport27]

I'd vote for Cobra. Making some of the best clubs out there, but without all the hype or attention.

[/quote]Well um...whats the difference?

[jumpalot]

Mizuno JPX 850 Driver

[Springsteennut]

Adams and Cobra. At least Adams before this year.

[pearsonified]

Right now in Japan, a bunch of guys are on a golf forum talking about how much better the ADM equipment is...

...and even if they use US brands these are still those specifically made for the JDM and are quite different from their US counterparts in quality,design and price.

[RouteBurner]

Tour Edge Exotics woods/hybrids, Cleveland

[ZBigStick]

Srixon.
Cobra.

What Cleveland stuff are people talking about? It's been at least two years since they've had anything good.

[TimBen]

As a Wilson Iron loyalist I would say Wilson. Maybe cobra and Mizuno for woods.

3rd set of Wilson irons. All quality.

[/quote]That would be the "Boutique line of JDM equipment".

The older Cleveland stuff was very underrated

[pappaf2]

Cobra and Wilson

[Hopnstopnputt]

Cobra & TE Exotics on the woods side and probably Srixon on irons
