The brand of the golf club is not real important. Of much more significance is the proper fitting of the club to the users swing characteristics. A cheap club that fits is much better than a pro line club that doesn't. All the heads are pretty good, most important thing is the shaft and how it works for you.
On drivers the kick point will influence ball flight much more than loft.
Golf club fitting is pretty scientific now days and purchasing without hitting on a launch monitor is pretty foolish.
For balls I change things up but normally hit Pro V1x's. The regular Pro V1 is a real high spin ball and very poor in high wind.
Bridgestone 330 S, and 330RX are real good.
I like Srixon Z stars a lot, especially the yellow when the leaves are out.
In cold weather hit a lower compression ball.
FWIW, I had some new irons made 3 weeks ago, they are cheap clones and I shot a 74 the last time I played with a couple three putts.
