Is it me or is Taylor Made equipment dominating this weeks Barclays Championship. I usually don't pay attention to what guys are swinging in their bag, but I've been watching the tourney today and it seems every guy towards the top of the leaderboard is wearing a Taylor Made hat. Laird, Johnson, Day, Taylor, Senden, Rose. Does any members on here chose their equipment from watching what their favorite players are swinging???? I try not to, but I do find myself drinking a NOS energy drink, snacking on a bag of Combos or M&M's while sitting on my Z-Line Furniture while my Interstate batteries are powering my remote control while watching Kyle Busch dominate a NASCAR race.....

I use Cobra woods & irons because they're what I've always used. I picked Cobra because I liked the feel of them. I think using a particular brand because a certain player uses it is quite foolish. I'm sure advertisers would hate the last sentence but c'est la vie. I also use top flite golf balls for the only one reason, they are cheap. I would rather spend my money on more golf then the ball I play. Now, before a big dispute gets started. I am NOT disparaging anyone who uses prov1's. If that's what you play, more power to ya.

I bought my first set of clubs last year and they were Nike for 2 reasons 1. i gravitated towards nike clubs because if they were good enough for Tiger they're good enough for me. but more importantly when i took up golf i wasn't sure if i would stick with it so cost was important. i read a ton about clubs and figured i'd serve myself well with game improvement cavity backs.the nike slingshot 4d's i bought for about $200 on Ebay hit the sweet spot of good reviews and lower cost. i didn't want to drop $500 and find out i didn't like golf. Taylormade, Ping and Callaway were just too much at the time. However now that the golf bug has got me cost doesn't mean a thing only how i feel about the club does. I am still playing with the Slingshot 4D's but i think next year i'm gonna look at getting something a little more on the forged side.

I am all TaylorMade (including most of my shirts and hats) but not so much because of the players but more because Joe was on staff with them for a while and he got me hooked. They have a great product too so although hes no longer on staff with them I still buy them.

I'm all Titleist because their irons and Mizuno's felt the best. I don't like a single Mizuno Wood or putter and I've always liked the Titleist woods the best, and Scotty Cameron putters also so I just use it all.
