In reply to Matt Saternus. Please keep the numbers! We’ll know something would be worth the upgrade when your SS is the same but your carry significantly changes Appreciate all you do.

Mike,

That’s a really good question, and it’s one of the reasons why I’ve gone back and forth about the value of publishing those numbers.

Trying to be as concise as possible: the numbers we publish are not a representation of every swing, and the numbers are far less valuable to you, as a reader, than the text. The text of the review is where the reviewer can get into the details and nuance of the club. The numbers are very blunt instruments, and they exclude some elements of the testing.

Best,

Matt

Hi Matt –
Love your site. The concise reviews are great and very helpful.
My question is this – your results when testing drivers are usually very much the same over the years – meaning 106, 157, 2100, and 260 carry very frequently. How then, with such consistent results do you determine that one product is better than another – especially when the physics of launch, spin, ball speed determine performance?

I suppose that simply consistency of results is really the key when comparing products?

Thanks
