How We Pick
No fluff. Just sources.
We check prices against real retailers and label used and sale prices as exactly that, never a vague “starting at.”
Specs come from the manufacturers, and performance claims come from named independent testers. When a number is one reviewer’s test, we say so.
Every guide opens with who each club fits, including when last year’s model is the smarter buy.
