Taking performance out of the picture- what are you top three awards for club design for 2012 (at least from what we know)
For Me:
3. Ping: They would probably get the bronze award every year since the design doesn't change that much and is always pretty solid. They loose points for the G20 hybrids which still look a bit odd to me. But the rest of the G20 line up looks great and the i20 line up looks mean.
2. Callaway: Love the look of the Hawk Razr Fit. And I really love the look of all the irons they have this year. Something for everyone and a nice combination of classic looks with cutting edge design. I like how they gave each model a nickname as well. I would definitely be looking at these if I was in the market for new irons.
1. Cleveland: No contest. They get extra points for having introduced line ups with two completely different concepts (Future/CG Black and the very original Old School/Classic & Mashie) and getting the design for both right. These clubs will look good in a bag for years to come. I just wish they had another line of hybrids. (fingers crossed for Classic hybrids and FWs) Plus the 588 wedges look pretty nice and the putter line is great.
All from the same company? Pretty impressive. How many designers are on staff over there anyway?
My doghouse award has to go to Cobra. I hate the look of everything they have planned for 2012 with the possible exception of the trusty rusty wedge. That is actually quite an achievement when you think of it. But like I said in another thread I am clearly no longer their target audience.
