I have never seen such stupid comments to a simple question, it is obvious only a couple of you really read what they asked.

New TM M3s. Wedges, Putter and Ball. That is one brand as asked.

I was all Callaway with a Fusion driver & 5, Apex hybrids & irons, PM Wedges, Odyssey putter, until I replaced the driver with a Ping G400 Max and a Ping putter. Waiting for the G700 irons to come out and give them a shot, along with the Glide 2.0’s.

I dont know if its tribalism, but I like the same brand bag for the simple reason that it feels very similar across all clubs in my bag. Except for the putter, which seems to change more frequent than I like to admit, I found that matching my wedges with same brand gives me similar feedback and feel, irons from same brand transitioning well from those wedges, and woods and hybrids that also match in feel, sound, and trajectory.

I use an awesome Distance Whip driver. Carry it about 296 all day long. Also use a set of Pal Joey irons with extra weak liofts. Will play any of you WRXers for money!

I’ve essentially played Adams Golf for the past ten years or so. I picked up the odd club such as a Cobra Fly Z 9 iron and a Callaway XR sand wedge. Otherwise, I would say I am pretty brand loyal.

  Me too. I love my Adams clubs particularly my Tight Lies fairways. I’ve tried Cobra but I always go back to my first love – Adams all the way.

Brand loyalty is a form of tribalism, an instinct that resides in our primal psyche.
People want to “belong” to a group for comfort and safety, however to link one’s identity to a commercial brand is outright pathetic.
Just imagine how immature and weak it must be to wear or play and display the name of a brand! You become a walking talking advertisement for that brand and paying a premium for the dubious honor!
Idiotic and all too common in humanity. No other identity other than a product!! 🙁

  Nothing wrong with playing clubs you love. If that’s tribalism then I’m a proud tribalist.

    Agreed, Justin. I am a tribalist too and very happy to have found clubs that work for me!

  Actually, Steve, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I have gone back and forth with the Redlines and Adams A7s. I am looking for the Adams 7 hybrids to match so |I can play those hybrids like my 5 iron.I used to wonder why I had trouble with the stiff steel in the A7 hybrid irons, and then between GolfTec and Golf Town, I no longer faded or sliced my shots, I can draw or hit the ball straight. Knowing all this information encouraged me to go back to the A7 irons, and bogey golf or slightly better will translate into some 80s rounds this year. Nothing wrong with wearing my Adams Golf hats or carrying my Adams Golf stand bag. Unless if you consider stupid playing the best golf since my early 30s! SMH PGA pros do it, so are they really that immature? Think before you post!

I have played all the major brands and finally settled on 100% Titleist, including Vokey and Scotty Cameron. Am very pleased with their performance. I go to their Titleist Thursdays when they are in my area for free fittings and at 71 I am playing very consistent golf and hold my handicap around 10.

A putter that I love and hate – Club Junkie Podcast

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it. If you are into feel, alignment, and consistency, this is one you will want to hear about.

We also take a look at some of the putters in play on the PGA Tour last week. From familiar favorites to a few surprising setups, there is always something to learn from what the best players in the world are rolling with under pressure.

To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.

I break down my first top 10 zero-torque putter rankings for 2026. From the biggest names in the category to a few under-the-radar surprises, I dive into what makes each of these putters stand out and how they performed. I have used every one of these putters on the list, both in practice and on the course.

Talk about feel, consistency, forgiveness, and of course, whether zero-torque technology actually delivers on its promise to help you start more putts on line. If you have been curious about making the switch or just want to know which models are leading the pack this year, this episode has you covered.

Did your favorite putter make the list?
