Who is your love hate company?
This is just your opinion. I don't want this to turn in to a pissing match.

For me it would have to be TaylorMade!

I always believe in all their hype and marketing. Just to be let down year after year or should I say 6 months after 6 months of the same old crap. Plus I had some really bad interaction with them and even a fitting at the Kingdom....
 
I have to agree with you on Taylormade. Their stuff just doesn't work for me. I'm sure much of it is mental now but I tried using their woods for a while and had nothing but poor results.
 
Don't know that I hate them, but unhappy with Puma right now because of the issue with the shoes I had. (They did make it right and sent a replacement pair but of a different kind.)
 
I'm not sure I have a hate company in golf yet. I sure do love my Callaways though, and my SeeMore.
 
I don't have a love/hate with any OEM. I have preferences, but that's about it.
 
Cobra. I get excited about their clubs every year. And then I try them and I'm let down by the performance.

That said _ I have an F8 driver on the way to my house today. I never learn.
 
It's gotta be TaylorMade for me. Loved the R15 430. Loved the M1 430. Loved that one so much I didn't even get the M1 440 in 2017. Got the new M3 440 and couldn't get along with it. I love the way the crown looks at address, but dang if I can hit that club straight to save my life. It was not my friend.

Love the wedges I'm playing but have never been fond of their irons. I am intrigued with the P790's but not so intrigued that I have them (yet).

I'm a blade man with putters so their spiders have never done anything for me.

Thought I loved the TP5x but am finding it too spinny. There are better and cheaper options out there for me.
 
Taylormade. Loved the look of the R1 and I bought it brand new. Could never find the right shaft head combo and sold the club less than a year after I bought it. Love the look of their clubs, but performancewise we just don't click.
 
I love em all. New and improved, shiny. Tech gets better n better. Same for every oem, more fun to enjoy them all than hate any of them imo.
 
No love/hate combo, just like or dislike.
 
Titleist for me. I like their stuff a ton, but the air of elitism that historically came from the brand turned me off a bit. I think that's gotten significantly better these days.
 
After a piss poor customer service issue Cobra has been on the outs with me. I wouldnt use the word "hate" but I just wont spend money on their stuff.

This ^^^^
 
agree with @moosejaa, nothing to rise to the level of "hate."

i felt that way about tm with the ballzy era then sldr then jetspeed. i still have a bias against their irons because i feel like they were great for awhile, then really fell off. but i'm back on board with the m series of woods and p series of irons.

i had a pretty bad experience with ping that soured me on their clubs. i still think they are overhyped, and although i'm a fanboy of other oems, for whatever reason the ping fanboy group can be a bit much.

callaway clubs have let me down many times, i think because of their tendency to be too low spin. yet i keep trying, and think very positively of them as a brand.

how recent was this?
 
I'd have to go with Taylormade.
I just can't stand their marketing and I haven't really liked anything they have made.

I know some guys who adore TM but they don't have a spot in my bag.
 
Since joining THP I really don’t have a hate company any more

Has TaylorMade really had a release cycle like that in years? They seem to be pretty steady on the 12 months.

It’s not really hate, it’s more like why did I try it again. Or I hate them because I keep spending money on them.

Sorry JB. Yes they are getting better with that.

Sorry Jory!

Sorry folks, Callaway for me (although I don’t hate them, I just look elsewhere first).

No apologies to me, I dont care what people like or dont like, I was just curious if I had missed something, because since SLDR launch, they seem to be pretty set on 12 month cycles.
 
It's Titleist for me. I like everything about them, and want to game one. But Everytime I have tested the against others they never win out.
 
My experience it a little different I guess given that I interacted with them on a daily basis for 4 years.

For here in Canada, it would be Cobra/Puma. Regionally, they had great representation, however when it came to warranty stuff, they were almost always the most difficult.
