Golf Fairway Wood Evaluations
March 2007
GolfTest USA provides Golf Illustrated the results of our standard
golf equipment testing on an ongoing basis.
Using 10 evaluation
criteria and testers with
varying skill levels, based on manufacturer recommendations as to
player type each club is designed for.
Player groups
are generally defined as:
- Low handicap
golfers
- Mid to high
handicap golfers - Game improvement clubs
Clubs with an
“Average” score 7.9 or better based on this scoring system are awarded
the GolfTest USA “Seal of Excellence” award, indicating superior
quality, value and performance.
