Is it a good or bad idea to mix manufacturers when buying golf clubs?
is it okay to buy a titlest lob wedge when the rest of your irons are Nike? I know putters and drivers are no problem but just wondering about adding wedges to the mix.
I won a set of Nike irons at http://FreeNikeClubs.genericclubs.com but they didn't come with wedges other than a pitching wedge.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters You should see the inside of my golf bag
I have a Tour Edge driver, Titleist woods, Callaway irons, and an Odyssey putter. It's definitely okay to mix it up – different golf brands have their strengths in different types of clubs, so it's good to look around and just go with how the club feels, not the label on it. Since you noted you're looking to buy a Titleist wedge, here's some good ones that aren't too expensive: http://www.njgolfman.com/vokeywedges.htm…Happy golfing!

Its totally fine, gone are the days when irons come in sets of 9. Manufacturers realised that allot of good and pro golfers were getting full sets and then replacing the wedges with after market ones with more feel and spin such as the Titleist Vokey, Trusty Rusty etc. I personally have ping irons and putter all Callaway Metals and Hybrid and Titleist Vokey 54/60 spin milled oil can wedges. So a pretty mixed bag.

If I had my choice, I would use a Taylor Made R9 driver, the Calloway X series irons, a cleveland wedge and a Scotty Cameron putter and Titleist golf balls. They are all the best in their respective ways, but really it's what you like and are comfortable with, I wouldn't mix and match irons though, they aren't all the same. Source(s): General Preference

My experience has always favored the complete set of woods as well as irons. There is a progressive " feel " built into the set which isn't present when one starts mixing.The specialty clubs such as the intermediate wedges, sand wedge , gap and lob wedges or the hybrids are very feel oriented in my view.

There are actually a lot of pros that ditch their sets PW in favor of having a full Titleist or Cleveland (for example) wedge set. If you really like your SW, if they offer it in a 46-48*, why not get that?

It's not an issue. You play what you're comfortable with. I had a Ping 3 wood for the longest time until I found a Nike 3 wood I liked.
