What brand would it be and why? Could be current brand trajectory, tradition, personal interaction with the company, customer service, etc
For me, it's Callaway. My first real set of clubs was a set of used X-12s. For some reason, once I got that set of clubs, I felt like I was a "real golfer". Since then, I've always appreciated the fact that they seemed genuinely invested in making a player of my skill level enjoy the game while some other brands were more geared toward a more exclusive type of player. I remember when the Rule 35 ball came out. I used to work at a course and had (what seemed) a lifetime supply of balls but the Rule 35 (blue) was "my ball". When the Prov1 came out it was the hottest ticket in town. They retailed for $72.00 a dozen at our pro shop. I traded two ProV1s to one Rule 35 to anyone that would take the trade (and there were plenty). I just felt so strongly about the brand and still do to this day.
Who's your, gun to the head, lifetime brand and (most importantly) why?
