text: can you recommend a good golf club manufacturer?   assuming you are interested in irons?  reading the answers so far makes me somewhat sad.  so many people answer based on marketing hype or just what they hear.  first of all, most us golf companies do not manufacture their clubs.  they are basically designing and marketing operations and outsource manufacturing to overseas companies.  (ping is an exception to this).  next, mizuno is without a doubt the best irons manufacturer.  there are only three forging houses in the world that make high quality irons.  these are mizuno, miura, and endo.  while these all produce top notch products, most industry insiders still give the edge to mizuno.  (us brands that offer forged clubs usually outsource to endo).  rather than look at what the pro's use, look at what they use after their sponsorship contracts expire.
