    I see something weird in the data: TaylorMade is the #1 brand overall but when I see the data by handicap, this brand is not present within the first 3 in any range; meanwhile Nike is the 3rd in to ranges (0-10hcp/11-20hcp : 88% of people in the poll) but is the 7th overall. Makes sense?

    @Julio:

    I’m right. I’ve read the original and there is a mistake in the data by handicap. The correct data is:

    0-10hcp: 1. Titleist 2. Mizuno 3. Nike

    11-20hcp: 1. Cleveland 2.TaylorMade 3. Nike

    21 and over hcp: 1. Adams 2. Cobra 3. Cleveland
