The Best 5 Golf Club Brands

By Tom Waters


Any golfer worth his salt doesn't need to be told that his game is only going to be as good as his golf equipment. This is doubly so when it comes to the most important part of a golfer's collection of equipment - his golf clubs. The golf club business is so huge for a reason, as is the demand for personalized clubs for different types of golfers.

The right golf clubs can send someone's game right off the charts, while the wrong clubs could really be a handicap. From drivers to wedges, putters to irons, golf clubs that get the job done right are a prime consideration for every golf enthusiast. So which of the leading manufacturers in the business of golf equipment are considered the cream of the crop? Let's take a look at the biggest names in the industry.

Nike

Nike is a name that is familiar to sports enthusiasts of all type, not just golfers. However, since Nike first entered into the golf arena in 1984, it's been setting a high standard that has given competitors a real run for their money. The company is especially well known for its high-quality irons. Their line of Slingshot irons has proved to be especially popular among serious golfers.

Titleist

Titleist is owned by the well-known Acushnet Company, a well established manufacturer responsible for producing top notch golf clubs of all kinds since 1962. Titleist has been the big name behind many of the industries most trusted club lines including Scotty Cameron. Before Tiger Woods began his stint as a spokesperson for Nike in 1985, Titleist was his golf club brand of choice.

Cobra

Cobra has been around since the year 1972, but it became a household name among golfers when their popular Baffler clubs hit the golf scene. Cobra has been making especially big waves in the world of irons, especially those found in their King Cobra and Cobra 59 collections. It has also been connected to a long line of very high profile spokespeople including Greg Norman, the former number one golfer in the entire world. Since early 2010, Cobra has been owned by Puma.

TaylorMade

The first golf club manufacturer to utilize metal instead of wood in the making of their clubs, TaylorMade is nothing if not a historic brand. Thanks to TaylorMade, golf clubs were suddenly able to drive golf balls much faster and harder, taking the sport and the art of golf club manufacturing to whole new levels. These days, TaylorMade is owned by Adidas, but it continues to set the gold standard when it comes to quality golf equipment.

Callaway

Callaway is arguable one of the best known brands of golf clubs and has been steadily producing a wide range of high quality golf clubs, accessories, and other equipment since its establishment in 1972. It started out as a producer of beginners' golf equipment, but is today considered one of the biggest brands to beat in the business of golf. It has been endorsed by such high profile spokespeople as Phil Mickelson and has produced many clubs that have made headlines for their high level of performance, including the very popular titanium driver, the Callaway X460.
