If you had to play one brand in 2024, what would it be?
[adthrive-in-post-video-player video-id=”Q54xfKgk” upload-date=”2024-09-23T12:15:50+00:00″ name=”This brand is dominating Most Wanted testing” description=”” player-type=”default” override-embed=”default”]

What we’ve seen in 15 years of testing here is there’s rarely one brand through the bag that makes the best clubs. We just finished wrapping up hybrid testing here and the Ping G430 won pretty convincingly.

We were sitting there diving through the data and it just made me think like, “I don’t know what is going on at PING golf in the last two, two and a half years, but they have obviously figured something out because It’s rare that we see clubs finish like standard deviations better than others.”

That’s what we’re seeing with so many PING clubs. The PING iCrossover, ridiculous. The PING G430 10K, ridiculous. Like if you can’t hit that in the fairway, you probably need some lessons. It makes everybody pretty good at golf. The hybrid just won by leaps and bounds. The wedge, the wet wedge results they’ve dominated in.

Like the wet wedge, the hydrophobicity thing that they did, like now everybody’s following them on that. The 10k driver, everyone’s following them on the 10k thing.

If I were to pick a single brand to play from top to bottom, minus the putter, it would be PING golf and that goes against almost everything we’ve ever said.

That’s saying a lot for a company that tells you not to play the same brand.

      PVD and painted finishes on putters always put me off. When you see used Ping putters like the copper coloured range, they look old, and thats with headcovers…
      The naked finishes like Scotty does look class.

      I have been playing primarily Taylormade clubs for the last few years. While I am satisfied with the Taylormade, I keeping looking at the PING developments with envy. I am sure that I will take a good look at the PINGs and may be even get fitted.

      My whole bag is Haywood and has been since the driver and woods came out and I have zero complaints. I’d put the MB irons against any blade out there in lefty.

      With the numbers playing Titleist balls and wedges Titleist has to be the easy winner. Plus their sticks are excellent for many. I’ve tried almost every brand and all the test works out Titleist for me.

      Driver – Callaway AI Smoke 10.5
      Fairway – Callaway AI Smoke 3w and 5w
      Hybrid – Ping 4w
      Irons – Ping G430 HL PW – 5i
      Wedges – Callaway Opus 54* and 50*
      Putter – Ping Answr 2.0

      Could I play one brand? Probably not. I play what works for me after lots of reading, testing, and practicing. Always looking for something better than what’s in the bag, but I won’t change unless I can see some significant difference.

      I’m to the point where that significant difference generally comes down to feel or accuracy.

      I’ve played most of the OEM irons, but always, always come back to Mizuno !

      Irons: still my go to will be Mizuno – for feel, accuracy, and some forgiveness. Not to be luddite, but I wonder if we aren’t going too far with the flexy faces of irons?
      Driver/FW: I’ve done well with the ST-Max line from Mizuno, and particularly their 7 wood! The others i’ve hit didn’t protect dispersion like it.
      I continue to return to SeeMore putters – just makes sense.

      Although I haven’t test-driven Titleist’s new GT line of drivers and metals – if I had my pick right now, it would be Ping for the top of the bag (driver, hybrid, utility), and Titleist for the rest (irons, wedges, putter). If I had to go with one brand only, I’d have to stick with Titleist.

      I just went for a fitting last week fully expecting to walk out with a Ping and ended up ordering a GT3 instead. I was surprised how much tighter my spin deltas and dispersion were with the GT3. Subjectively it had better sound and feel than the Ping too, but nothing was off putting about the Ping for me in that way.

      I would have been happy with the Ping, but the GT3 was objectively better for my swing.

      It’s no joke how good my GT2 is compared to the Callaway Epic Flash it replaced. Not necessarily for raw distance, but more so for playable distance. The number of times I’ve already hit a shot that would have been OB with the Callaway that stayed not just in play, but in a good spot with the GT2 is already off the charts.

      Interesting that you say “minus the putter” as going back over a decade Ping was so well thought of with their putters (the Anser, etc). Ping’s putters today? Seems no one talks about them nor is much written to support their putter lines.

      What happened there?
      What are the top 2-3 putter brands as viewed today? Or, are there so many non-full line brands out so no brand dominates?

      Their putters are excellent but so are most others. MGS also loves putter-only OEMs like Evnroll & LAB so that’s probably why they said ex-putter.

      I have only one of their clubs in the bag right now (old 3w) but I’d be fine playing a full bag of TaylorMade clubs right now. No Pings at the moment but I could play all Pings too. Everything is so good now. We’re spoiled for choice.

      Current bag is:

      PXG Black Ops driver
      TM rocketballs tour 3w
      Callaway 2h & 3h
      PXG 0311P/T 5-PW
      Cleveland CBX2 50/54/59
      LAB Mezz Max

      I think I’d also be fine with all PXG or all Srixon/Cleveland. Both companies greatly improved their drivers recently – wouldn’t have said either of those three years ago.
