How we score

We don't test gear ourselves. We read the major independent tests and reviews, turn each verdict into a score out of 100, and combine them. Lab and robot tests count twice as much as one reviewer's opinion, and panel tests one and a half times, so no single outlet can carry a product. Each outlet counts once per product.

A product needs reviews from at least 3 different outlets to be ranked, at least two of them established publications, labs or creators rather than small one-person sites, and its score starts near the middle until enough of them agree, so a few rave reviews can't put it at the top. We leave out any review where the reviewer has a deal with that product's brand, or where the video is a paid partnership for it. Affiliate links and ads are common across golf media, so on their own they don't rule a source out.

Product photos are the manufacturers' own. Prices are what the testers listed, shown only when they agree. We don't use affiliate links, and nobody pays to be on this list.

Reviews from before 2024, and reviews of an older version of a product sold under the same name, are left out. Products affected: Blue Tees Series 4 Ultra, Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote.
