Golf Putter Evaluations
March 2006 | 2007 Coming Soon
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.
Putters were rated based upon how they are made and on average
putting performance. Testing was done over three putts: 7 foot straight
putt, 14 foot, left to right breaking putt and 20 feet, right to
left breaking putt.
