No....but Sneds on TV is a walking advertisement IMO.
If not considered an ad then why does Bridgestone do it? Or is this Sneds doing it on his own?

Interesting. While I understand it, I view it as a player doing it for their sponsor. I mean I guess he could put a plain cover on a club or something. Then again, he played the Bridgestone driver last week.

My thoughts as well. I think all manufacturers do it to a degree. Maybe not as obvious as this ad but I think they all do it. And if the average golfer not internet golfers like us would they really know a difference or care?Intentionally deceptive/misleading....but not a big deal. Not as deceptive as a Bridgestone cover on a TM Burner driver IMO.
Agree with "clever" wording as well.
I think a better comparable with Sneds in mind would be an image of him winning in a Bridgestone add with a picture of the latest Bridgestone driver.

Josh, what is your thoughts on tour pros hitting clubs in commercials they aren't gaming?
I honestly have no idea if this is done by him or if he is encouraged to do it by Bridgestone.
If this is all him then pretty damn cool on his part and my opinion.
Oh no I know I didn't take that way either. I think every manufacturer is misleading to a certain extent. Like Cookie said a certain headcover on a different branded driver or when a RBZ FW was painted for Phil. I think everyone does it to a certain extent and would agree this particular add is a bit misleading.The question of the thread is about thoughts on OEMs being misleading (and whether this was a good sample of it). I don't think it was intended to focus purely on Titleist.
I honestly have no issue with it at all. Lets face it, they are not using the same gear (tour issue, tweaked, etc). I should say less issue than this. I mean how many ProV1 guys are actually playing the current ProV1? Half?
Its done by the player. He could put a big bird or image of himself on there if he wanted to (in this case).
For the sake of fun and interesting talk would Ping and Callaway be misleading with their crowns that produce a faster a swing? I think now I could definitely be wrong here but for a golfer to to actually see that increase of swing speed they would have to be capable of swinging the club fast enough to produce 175 mph ball speed. You know as well as I do most golfers can't do that so is that a misleading ad?I think a better comparable with Sneds in mind would be an image of him winning in a Bridgestone add with a picture of the latest Bridgestone driver.
Oh, I agree, just wanted to get your thoughts. I think some could construe it as misleading, but honestly I couldn't care less what tour players are playing. Phil is left handed, and he uses Callaway clubs, but I am not foolish enough to think we are using the same clubs.

I would agree with that. I take the stance of I'm smart enough to realize what I buy off the rack or custom after a fitting is not the same or ever will be the same as what the guys getting paid to play is. So if they want to try and market the newer irons go for it. For the most part marketing doesn't really play into how I feel about clubs but that's just my .02 of course.I think a nice sample was "the longest fairway in golf" based on a 110mph swing speed from one company. If the crown makes the head more aerodynamic, I don't think companies are required to say at what speed.
