Stage 1 & 2 Review Classifications


Headhammer

Recommended Posts

I did do a search for this so please forgive me if I just missed this answer to this question. I wanted to make sure I understood the Stage 1 & 2 classifications for member reviews. After reading some reviews my take aways are listed below, but please correct me if I have something incorrect or missed something. 

 

Stage  1

  • Intro about yourself & your golf game
  • Current challenges with your game and how you hope reviewed product will cure it
  • Box opening 
  • Initial visual impressions
  • Specification comparisons to your existing equipment
  • Quality up close phots from multiple angles

Stage 2

  • On the range & on course testing
  • Comparisons to your existing equipment under similar conditions
  • Photos & videos of product in use
  • Your interpretation of the results
  • Would you recommend or not recommend the product to other forum members

Thanks for your assistance!

yes, as Jlukes and tommc23 said, that's a pretty good general idea.

 

However, there are occasional exceptions to that, such as the current CobraConnect Challenge.  Since it's a season long testing/competition, it doesn't fit in the cookie cutter testing template.

 

Also since it's a wide range of products that are tested the depth and content of the stages may vary.  It's entirely different testing a set of irons than say a Laser Range Finder. 

 

Testing is not easy, it requires a lot of man/woman hours spent on the range and course, using the product, taking pictures then several more hours writing and editing the review itself and of course for me one of the more enjoyable aspects interacting with the forum members answering on gong questions.

One thing that I'll add is that it's not required but a nice touch to come back once a while and add a post.

Are you still using it? Anything noticed after a full season of use?

Great point. Jlukes and YungKory have been great at that with the JPX900 and Ole Gray with his beloved Betti to name just a few.

Don't forget the social side. Promote on social media a bunch.

Might be something to add to the template. Your social media handles.

That's a great suggestion Taz

 

Although as a rule the testings don't require the testers to be on SM,-- CobraConnect is an obvious exception--but it is certainly a bonus if testers are in SM and promote their stages. I know we--the staff--will tweet the main review thread out.
