2021 Golfers’ Choice Survey

2021 Golfers’ Choice Survey

With our annual “One Word” Survey, we get of sense of your perceptions of certain golfer brands. With our Golfers’ Choice survey, we get to find out if those perceptions carry over to your golf bag.

A WITB for Average Joes

What’s in the Bag (or WITB for short) on the PGA TOUR is a big conversation point but we’re more interested in what our readers—real golfers who are among the most avid anywhere—have in their bags. Presumably unencumbered by endorsement deals, what you choose to spend money on and ultimately put in your bag is far more telling than what the pros are paid to play.

We want to know if you’ve bought new clubs recently and what brands you’ve chosen to fill every spot in your bag.

And, just because we’re curious, we’ve thrown in a couple of questions along the way but, in five minutes or less, you can help us better understand what brands MyGolfSpy readers are choosing to play.

As always, we’ll share some of the more interesting results in a few weeks.

      63 YO, occasionally breaks 90. Upgraded my driver and 3-W this year to the Launcher Turbos (10.5, 15). Game improved. My Wilson hybrid and 4-YO Steelhead XRs aren’t going anywhere, and I’m finally getting the hang of the CBX 2 wedges (50, 54) I bought last year. Putter: Wilson South Side. Golf doesn’t have to be expensive.

      Driver depends on the type of play.
      Scramble = Taylormade SLDR (Bought Used)
      Regular play = Condor, or Louisville Golf Persimmon Driver
      3W = Taylormade R11S (Bought Used), or Louisville Golf Niblick
      5W = Taylormade R11S (Bought Used), or Stan Thompson Ginty
      Irons = Ben Hogan Fort Worth 15 20* to 48*
      Wedges = Ben Hogan TK Wedges, I have an assortment of lofts for various conditions or courses or playing in scrambles. I also have some Eidolon Wedges, and a ScorGolf 50*.
      Putter = Scotty Cameron Blade Putter. I have other putters, but I always end up with the Scotty Cameron Blade back in the bag.

      Forgot to mention my short irons from 44* to 60* are all the same length. So basically my 9i thru LW, and all the degrees of lofts of the wedges in between are the same length. I could never get used to the shorter wedges.

      Anyone who asks me W.I.T.B is asking to be very confused!! I have been playing this STUPID game for almost 50 years, and still do not understand why I do it.

      I have the equivalent of seven sets of clubs. As expected, not every club in a set agrees with me. So I end up with a few “agreeable”clubs from each set. The result is a total MONGREL set of clubs, from drivers to putters.

      In fact I have four such mongrel sets of clubs, and select a set depending on how I feel on the day !

      So there, you asked for it.

      I tried the survey, it got to the question about how long ago I bought my putter and when I hit ‘Next’, it went to a white screen and never came back. Had to close the window…

      Fairway woods: Cobra
      Hybrids: Cobra
      Irons: Mizuno JPX900 forged with KBS shafts

      Try a Honma Driver. The sound off of those suckers is loud and proud. You can find previous seasons for about $100 on PGA store (yes, that’s what I bought mine for; hits great).

      70 year old 33 Index. New TM Hybrid added 15-20 yards to my previous hybrid and a hole between my 5 iron & 3 hybrid. While I’m happy with the distance I get from my Ole Callaway Big Bertha 815 Alpha I’d love to test new TM, Titleist, Ping and Cobra against my current driver for distance and spin.

      Your survey specifically limits the questions to purchases of NEW equipment.

      Myself and several of my friends have purchased used golf equipment in the past couple of years with great results.

      Please consider adding that option as part of your survey. Thanks.

      At age 73, I’ve been losing some distance each two or three years. Based on MGS test results, I bought a new Calloway Maverick driver and 3 wood to help retain distance. Driver has helped me maintain distance, as well as accuracy. 3-wood is the best I’ve ever owned, both in accuracy and distance.

      I am now considering new hybrids, irons and wedges based on MGS test results.

      This survey doesn’t ask about what’s in your bag. Get specific! Brand, model, grips, shafts. I was fit for a driver by several companies at the PGA Show in Orlando and chose the Ping G400 MAX, and although I’m 6′, my driver with a Diamona White Board is 44″! If you want to know what’s in our bag, be specific.

      Went all in this year. New driver, fairway wood, forged players distance irons, new blade putter.

      And I’m playing much better golf. Absolutely worth the money I spent..

      Thankfully, I didn’t wasted the money by taking a trip with my wife. New clubs are a much better investment.

      Done. I’ll be interested to see how many people bought new drivers within the past year. Seems like every year is “the year of the driver.” LOL

      Survey seems incomplete…the only question about brands owned was for my only “within the year” purchase…also no questions about which club line (except for club type of iron, but because irons 2-3 years old, no brand question)… no questions about shafts brand or stiffness, length….

      Yes I tend to agree, seems like Tony is leaving a lot of questions unanswered, like you mentioned-shaft brands flexs etc. But maybe he has a plan as to the questions asked(I’m sure he does).

      Agree completely with Jon: survey is horribly incomplete. Brands? Models? Shaft brands, models? I do fine with my Callaway X-forged (2008?) w/ ProjectX shafts, and Callaway I-mix driver (2010?) and muddle my around in a tad over or under 80. I don’t feel the need to go spending hundreds every year to get an extra 10 yards. Per year. Right.

      I had a full set of Callaway clubs custom fit 3 years ago, but as my game improved I built a set of clubs based of MGS most wanted as well as truegolffit. The current set of clubs cost me less than half the money of my fitted set and I’m playing better golf. Thanks guys your reviews have seen my handicap come down by at least 6 points over the last 18-24 months.
