Playing mixed bags

[MKPAPA]

LOL buddy of mine told me he wants his odd-numbered irons to be differen't than his even-numbered irons. Anyone heard of something like this before?!

No...that sounds like some serious OCDness. But hey, if it works for him then so be it.

 

I carry four different brands in my bag: TM driver & irons, Adams hybrids, Cleveland wedges, and Odyssey putter. Irons are chrome and wedges are black. Doesn't bother me in the least. Sorry I don't have a picture to share.

[HuskerDevil_1]

Mixed for me. I play what works the best for me. For instance, I play Mizuno ST driver, M2 3 Wood, and 910 5 Wood. But I do lean to certain brands over others. Mizuno iron guy. Vokey wedge Guy. I would love to test a ping 400 max driver.

[nels]

Only time I played a complete matching bag was from 2012-2014, I played all Titleist because everything that came out that year just seemed to worked for me.

 

I currently play a mixed bag w/ Taylormade woods, Mizuno irons, Vokey wedges and swap putters between a see more m5/ ping Anser Ti. Going to add a couple of Bettinadis to the putter rotation.

I haven't had a fully matching set since I played the Titleist 975J and matching 3-wood in early high school, to go along with my old DCIs. Definitely was a golden era for attractive woods!

[Ben Berube]

I think as we get better the less and less we need these to match. You do not see many scratch players fully committed to a manufacture unless they are sponsored. The manufactures love this and have used their marketing colors for years to push more sales. But to each their own. I just know when I am beat it's usually not by someone with a matching bag. only 1 guy I can think of, all Callaway but Scotty putter.

[sdandrea]

See sig. My stuff doesn't match, but I do understand the urge to have everything uniform. To each own.

[blink3665]

Just recently I went from z565 irons, Cleveland CBX GW (satin), Black RTX3 SW, and Antique Copper Hi-Toe LW. That was doing a number on me. Chrome to satin, to black, to copper?!?

 

Since then I recently got a hold of the Tour Raw RTX4 and have replaced all my wedges so that they match. My inner being is much more at peace with a matching set of wedges. ;)

[spring70]

i play a mixed bag. i just play what i like regardless of brand, color etc.

 

i am a "play what you want kind of guy, your money, your time, enjoy". I do however scratch my head when someone who loves their bag, lets say all Callaway decides to try and buy a different brand driver, lets say cobra, then feel the need to play all cobra. i find it hard to believe that one brand makes the best 14 for anyone.

[jmkenn0]

oh god....

 

Driver - Epic SZ

3 wood - Rogue

Hybrid - Ping Anser

Irons - i2-'s

wedges - black SM6s

Putter - Ping G Tyna?

 

that's pretty good for me, because I got fitted for all my wedges. Before that they were a hodgepodge of colors and manufacturers.

[altess27]

I'm mixed up as well. Different brands, finishes and my woods are split between Matte and Shiny.

 

Titleist Driver (Shiny)

Callaway 5 wood (Matte)

Srixon Hybrid (Shiny)

Taylormade Irons (Satin)

Piretti Wedges (Chrome)

Taylormade High Toe (Copper Finish)

Bettinardi Putter (Black Finish)

 

All in a Ping bag

[Katke87]

Fun question. I've never even tried to match clubs, as follows:

Callaway GBB Epic 12.5 degree driver

Callaway Big Bertha 19 degree 5-wood

Tour Edge 3h

Cobra Baffler 4h

Titleist 714 AP1 5 - gap

Ping Glide 2.0 56 degree

Callaway PM Grind 60 degree

Bettinardi Innovai 3.0

 

I do have a fetish about colors, however. Red and black Ping carry bag, red and black headcovers. But the headcovers don't match: two are knit Jan Craig, three are Stitch leather. Is there medication for this? :slow_en: :taunt:

[scott19]

Bit of an odd take here but I decided to go all Titleist to reduce my urge to buy just about anything in the classifieds that sounds interesting. I also don't hate how good my bag looks right now.

 

Driver: Titleist 913D3 (9.5) with Fubuki ZT50x

Fairway: Titleist 915f (15) with Fubuki

Hybrid: Titleist 913H (19) with Matrix Ozik 130x

Irons: Titleist 680mb (6-pw) / 712U (4,5) with Modus 120x

Wedges: Vokey SM4 (50, 54, 60) with DG wedge flex

Putter: Scotty Red X5

i used to play mixed, nothing wrong with it.

I am playing matching now, I like the guy's post above me excuse.

[houstonlefty]

I'll chime in with a Golfwrx OD'er.....my bag is mixed because

 

- my irons are 2 months old,

 

- my wedges 1 month old and

 

- my putter--that I will soon replace--is 2 days old.

 

A classic GolfWrx "mixed" bag.

So true

[tom.lockhart]

if it doesn't say Titleist it isn't coming into my bag.

 

Except of course my ping anser - that thing is NEVER leaving the bag.

[bamagolf]

I was hung up on tying to keep an all Callaway/Odyssey bag as my gamer for a while. Lately I’ve been moving away from that to getting what works in play. Just switched back to my G25 driver and I wonder why I ever thought I could find something better.

[Joakes66]

Play what you have to play to play well. Basically, we all have to pay for our stuff. Get fitted, especially the shafts, and make it count.

 

Taylormade M4

Taylormade M2 fairway

Callaway Apex 18 degree hybrid

Ping i200 4-PW

Titleist Vokey SM6

50, 54, 58

Odyssey 330M putter

[g8a_golf]

I have 7 different brands in my bag.

 

a blue driver

a gray 3 wood

3 different wedges

a red putter

 

Use what works. Matching just to match is ridiculous

[GolfChannel]

See the sig, basically Titleist and Cally. Not really a Franken bag anymore. Used to have Cobra (Driver LTD) and Mizzy (Lob Wedge) in there as well.

[bellview17]

14 Clubs, 9 Brands, 7 different shafts. 4.9 hdcp.

[nicoy3k]

Sm5 60, 54

Sm6 50, 46

Ping S55 9-6

Ping i25 5-4

Rbz tour 3 hybrid

2017 m1 3 wood

2016 m2 driver

Nike drone 1.0 putter

[SammyShaf]

I have always played a mixed bag.

Currently I have in the bag:

PING G30 Driver

Callaway Optiforce 3 wood d+82

TEE CB2 5 wood d+82

712u 3 iron x100s

712mb 5-PW

TM RF 50.09 and 56ATV kbs tour 130

PM Grind 60

Circa 62 putter

 

The irons and driver are stock. What is really funny is that I have different grips on driver, fairway, wedges, and irons. I bought the irons used and haven't regripped the wedges to match. Most likely I will switch the driver to the mcc plus 4 to match the fairways. As of now, it looks like I bought different pieces of 3 different bags and threw them in the blender.

[Hat Trick]

I like all my grips to match, other than that my bag has Titleist, Ping and Odyssey plus I play the TP 5X.

[dubbelbogey]

My bag has 8 brands, though one of them is Cleveland where I have it in two clubs: a 19* hybrid and a 52* gap wedge - such different sticks it'd be hard to say I picked them to make my bag more "consistent". (Not to mention I bought those clubs several years apart.)

[dnalepoca]

I’m all over the place.

Callaway GBB Alpha 815 Driver

Nike VRS Covert Tour 2.0 OR Cobra Bio cell+ 3 wood

Cobra F6 Baffler 5 wood on the way

Mizuno Fli Hi 3 iron

Wilson Staff F5 irons

Vokey SM5 raw 51*

Wilson Staff PMP blue 56*

Ping Glide 2.0 60*

(Playing with bag setup at the moment)

[dnalepoca]

Oh and Odyssey #7

[andrieddle]

I have no issues with mix bag but I can also appreciate a matched set

 

Bernhard Langer's bag would drive me nuts though.....

 

To put an example to this statement, I have 2 full bags where 1 is very mixed, and the other one is pretty matched up (Cobra and Callaway only)

 

Bag 1 Mixed:

Nike Vapor Fly Pro (11)

Cobra Bio Cell 4W (16)

TaylorMade R15 4H (21)

Ping i200 (5-W)

Bridgestone J15 (50)

Callaway MD2 (56/60)

Evnroll ER3

 

Bag 2 (Cobra + Callaway):

Cobra Fly Z+

Cobra LTD 4W

Cobra Bio Cell 3H

Cobra Fly Z+ 4-P

Callaway MD3 50/54/58

Toulon San Diego

[Air23]

My Current bag is a bit of mix.
