BEST OF THE BEST – DRIVER CHALLENGE

The Most Requested Test in MyGolfSpy History

Is newer really better? Every release cycle, golf companies claim that new equipment will outperform the metrics on past models. “Distance any way you swing it!”  “Speed with no limits!”  “The longest, straightest, best looking and best sounding drivers we’ve ever made!” You’ve heard it all. Those golf companies want you to think that if you want to improve your game you should be investing in their new technology.

But is technology developing as fast as the marketing slogans say it is? Our job is to find out. We convened a special and unprecedented test.

Every Most Wanted driver winner from 2016-2020, pitted head to head to crown the ultimate champion.

The MyGolfSpy Way

35 testers were tabbed to take 2500 combined shots with each of our previous titleholders using our Foresight GCQuad Launch Monitors .

This is the most requested test in MyGolfSpy history and the results are worth all of your inquiries and each of the 2500 swings. We calculated strokes gained values, distance, and forgiveness to determine the best performing driver of the Most Wanted Era.

Pace of Play: Did COVID-19 Teach Us Anything?

Pace of play is a topic all golfers can agree on. It’s too slow and it’s always someone else’s fault.

COVID-19 provided a unique opportunity to look at the relative effectiveness of one possible pace-of-play solution. Many courses instituted some sort of single-rider cart policy this year. If you want to use a cart, you’re riding solo.

Pace of Play: The Dilemma

We’ve written about the pace of play conundrum before. Everyone agrees it’s a problem but no one can agree on how to solve it. Every golfer knows the pain of those 5 1/2-hour weekend marathons as well as facing the  “where the hell have you been?” music when you get home. And who’s to blame for slow play? Every golfer knows the answer: it’s that other sonuvabitch.

Over the past several PGA Merchandise Shows we’ve seen an influx of companies selling single-rider carts, golf surfboards and even golf-specific scooters. Those companies promise an improved pace of play with a dash of fun on the side.
