Nike Golf / Dunlop / Bridgestone / Wilson / Lynx Golf users?

Noticed not too many users of Nike Golf / Dunlop / Bridgestone / Wilson / Lynx Golf equipment here as opposed to more established brands like Ping, Callaway, Mizuno, Titleist and TalyorMade.

Not to start a fanboy flame war here but lets all keep an open mind about the brands of clubs we all use. After all I believe 75% boils down to experience, training and fundamentals of the player, the remaining 25% is the golf technology that helps the player move on.

I like my bridgestone irons/wedges.

Its just normal consumer behavior bro...In free markets, you have leading brands and smaller competitors. Some consumers go for brands, some go for function, some go for price, some go for looks. Some are loyal to their favorite brands, some change every 6 months (cough2)

Its interesting to see how nike performs in the golf equipment market. Their marketing strategy is more or less like the leading brands. E.g. Im pretty much a nike loyalist in basketball (air uptempo, air zoom, jordans) but it doesnt translate to my golf buys. Owned some nike clubs and sold them. The looks just havent caught my eye, except maybe vr blades but my skills cmi

Change equipment once every 6 months?! Ok, that's something new to me.

In fact, friends and superiors have been telling me to get more 'established brands'. Another good friend told me to get whatever I'm comfortable with cos ultimately I'm the player and the last thing I'd want is to use equipment that I'm personally not comfortable with. I guess that holds water.

the reason why i did not buy Nike: the material for the head this day is not strong enough. easily get dent at crown. Is not worth the price for the quality...

ONZ...range i jio u !!!

The five brands you listed are all established brand... I think other than Nike, the rest have a long history... just that they are not so popular now. I would like to change all the irons and wedges to Wilson Staff but in Singapore, only Golf House is carrying Wilson and they do not really promote it.

I recently bought a VR Pro hybrid from one of the members of GR and I really like it. The shape suits my eye and the Project X stock shaft is excellent. Based on this experience and what I've read of the VR Pro series, I'm keen to have a look at what Nike has to offer in the future.

Wilson balls have also been a pleasant surprise. I've liked the ones I've tried and will definitely buy more in the future. They offer good performance for the price.

I am using the Nike VR TW bladed irons ...

Nike is above Ping and definitely above Mizuno (not exactly popular in the States). The fanboys are raving about the VR Pro Combo like its best thing to happen to irons, even though BS already have their combo sets many years back with the J33. Nike really picked up only after the VR range......the Sumo range was good (IMO, using the driver) but too gimmicky for "serious" golfers (nobody like the bright yellow and the square driver did not help). The Nike golf accessories are also definitely stronger.

the really old prestigious brands are like MacGregors, Ben Hogan (brand died in Callaway), Lynx, sold to chain stores that produce inferior products for the masses

When 90% of the game is between the ears, the confidence in using/wearing a well known popular brand maybe useful in one's game, unless u are one of those that knows u are better and purposely use lousy brand stuff or even vintage gear, wear cheap clothing and cheap shoes, using a $5 putter with a $0.50 ball just for the satisfaction of beating the other flashier guys putting with a SC and a $5 ProV1.

i'd love to be able to use a sub $100 bag to play better than i do now.

I agree that NIKE has improve tremendously in the golfing market with the VR series. The good thing about Nike products is that u can get everything from Head to Toe
