Hey there, fellow golf enthusiasts! Are you wondering what makes NextGolfClub’s rating system different from everyone else? how those fancy new drivers or shiny irons would perform in your hands, not just in the pros’? Well, we’ve got you covered. Welcome to NextGolfClub’s no-nonsense guide to rating golf equipment.
We’ve created a system that puts clubs and balls through their paces just like you’d use ’em straight out of the box, with no special setups. Whether you’re a weekend golfer or a seasoned pro, we’re dishing out honest, unbiased ratings that’ll mean something to your game.
Now, you might be wondering, “How do we pick which gear to put through the wringer?” Great question! We start by casting a wide net, rounding up all the shiny new golf equipment hitting the market, plus any standout clubs or equipment making waves online to clubs that would best help your game. But let’s face it, we can’t test everything (though we’d love to!). So, we narrowed it down to the cream of the crop of the top 10 that caught our eye. What makes the cut? We’re looking at two main things of how much has changed from last year’s model (because who wants to test the same old, same old?), and how much of an impact it could have on your game. After all, we’re here to help you play better golf, not just look good doing it (though that’s a nice bonus).
Our secret sauce for rating golf gear. Here’s the deal, we’re not just testing for pros or perfect swings. We’re here for the average Joe, the weekend golfer, and yes even for the pros who want the real scoop on how these clubs perform right out of the box.
So how? First off, we put each club through its paces using a launch monitor. We’re talking accuracy, forgiveness, distance, the whole nine yards. But here’s where it gets interesting.
After the standard tests, we mix things up. We take a quarter swing for each test that we repeat! Just a little chip shot (using the bottom part of the swing). Why the bottom part of one’s swing? Because the bottom part of the swing is the easiest part to keep consistent each time from change. let’s face it, even if you’re Tiger Woods, your swing isn’t going to be identical every time. Maybe you’re a bit heavy on the front foot or you’ve got too much weight on your toes as we’re all human.
This quarter swing test gives us a pinpoint picture of whether our first round of tests holds up. It’s like a reality check for the club’s performance.
But wait, there’s more! We throw in a curveball to the normal testing with improper stances and good stances with funky swings. Why? Because about 90% of us golfers have their own unique swing that we’re constantly trying to fix.
The end result? A no-nonsense, real-world rating that tells you how these clubs will perform for you, not just for the pros on TV. Whether you’re looking at drivers, irons, woods, balls, or any other golf equipment, we’ve got you covered with the honest truth.
