This is a really tough one. I’d have to do some serious looking into the models available. My gut feel says Ping or Callaway. I’ve ho’d a lot to get my bag the way it is now, really like Callaway wedges, more than Ping and Vokey, really like my Ping driver and irons, but prefer the Cobra fairway to those I’ve used from Ping and TaylorMade. I also prefer the Titleist hybrids to those I’ve tried from Ping. And as for a putter I’d not want any of the main brands really although my Palm Beach is good. Had 18 putters last year which I tried, now down to 8 with one of those up for sale.

A very hard choice.

If it's a 14 club an ball deal from a current manufacturer, it would probably have to be Titleist, although I would be negotiating a 13 club deal so I can keep my existing putter. I'm thinking:

TS4 Driver

917 F3 3 Wood

818H2 19 degree Hybrid

3 - PW 620 MB

52 / 58 Vokey SM8 with a shedload of lead tape attached.

And if I had to have a Titleist putter, my old California Del Mar

Ball - I'm going leftfield and using the EXP-01.

 

In reality I would go down the Fleetwood route to free agency, just so I can keep my VR Pros, and have a word with Mr Taylor from Artisan on the wedges.

The Dee Three - Titleist TS4 9.5 deg, EvenFlow White 6.5 65g, A1 Setting

Henrik - Titleist 917 F3 15 deg, Rogue Max 75x, B2 Setting

The Interloper - TaylorMade P770 3 iron, S400 Tour Issue, +0.5inch +1 deg loft

The Blades - Nike VR Pro 4 - AW, S400 Tour Issue, +0.5 inch

The Sand Iron - TaylorMade MG2 TW-12 Grind, 56 degree, S400 Tour Issue

The Flopper - TaylorMade MG2 TW-11 Grind, 60 Degree, S400 Tour Issue

The Putter - Nike Method 003 from The Oven

I would go my own way, ultimately you have to play what is bes …… Titleist, I would definitely go with Titleist.

In fairness all the big brands do a good mix of equipment now, I obviously like Titleist but you could go with any of the main brands and have a solid set up

Driver - Taylormade SIM 10.5°

3 wood - Titleist 910f 15°

Hybrid- Titleist 910h°

Irons - Mizuno 919 Tour 4 - PW

Wedges - Titleist SM7 51 / 55 / 60 DG

Putter - Yes! Callie

Ball - Titleist Pro v1x

Ping. Love the look of their irons. As previously stated you get to pick the ball. Not uncommon for a 10-12 club deal.

taylormade, titleist, ping. In that order.

if it’s like a rest of my life deal? Titleist. Historically they to me are the Ralph Lauren of golf equipment. Always in fashion even when they aren’t.

This is a hard one for sure. I have never had a bag with all the same brand top to bottom. Never even had matching woods. With Mizuno woods gaining ground on there market share it has me tempted but I would ultimately have to go with Ping. They have produced some of the most iconic woods, irons, wedges and putters.

Well this is tough for me as I like a lot of brands, but only for certain products they make. If you look at my signature you'll understand. Honestly I would almost say Adams if they still existed. I can't imagine getting rid of my hybrids lol. They're 6 years in the bag. And at that time Adams was making some good stuff through the bag. I love this TM driver and their ball, but I just don't like their irons or wedges at all.

1b. Srixon-I'd get to keep my wedges, putter and 3 wood. I could seamlessly transition to a set of Z785 and barely notice I changed clubs as I find BS and Srixon irons to look and feel very similar. I like the U85 and I've heard good things about the driver. The wild card wth Srixon is the ball. I just really don't love the ball.

1a. Titleist-I know this is nuts because I don't have a single Titleist club in my primary bag. Between my 16 M2 and the SIM I played a TS3 for a year and a half and while I would give up a few yards I'd be fine with that. Basically I 'really like' their woods and hybrids, their CB, and Vokey wedges. And I'm sure one of those Futura putters would work. And the Pro V1x is my golf ball.

So Titleist wins by the smallest of margins due to the golf ball. If the ball isn't included in the deal Srixon would edge Titleist out.

Titleist - already play a full Titleist bag and have tried almost every other brand.

Couldn’t believe the improvement in my driving with the TS3, and TS2 fairway. My U500 3 iron is a fairway and green finding missile launcher. Beats the ass off my old P790 off the fairway too.

T100 irons are soooo controllable and reassuring to look down on, and the new Vokey SM8s are sweeeeet. Play the Pro V1 and to quote Charlton Heston ... ‘Out of my cold dead hands ... ‘

Ironically, I play an Evnroll ER1.2 putter. Hard luck Scotty. You’re just not that good ?
