fsav Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Love this Idea. the MGS Hot List would be predicated strictly on the performance of the club. I agree looks and feel should be left out as these are perosnal attributes (specific to the golfer) as for the performance of the club, regardless of the stock shafts etc the number don't lie if everyone is hitting the same head and getting the same performance as far as the numbers of accuracy, distance and such. not sure if GD would oppose or has some kind of restriction but a side by side comparison in some kind of media format would be an awesome iudea as well. GD doesn't give the detail just star ratings and such with some player comments. if there is a hot list it shoul dbe compared to other clubs and there performance. that how a gold to bronze rating should be given....at least fo rthis guy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy Tim Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The fact that the Hotlist even considers "demand" as a part of their ratings is probably the most STUPID thing EVER.... but then again, it's the "Hot" list Maybe we should call it "MGS takes on the Hotlist with our Performance List" or the likes... calling a product "Hot" holds no meaning.

Wizzze Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes, Yes, and Yes! It would be really good to have an unbiased list. People will flock to this website when the word gets out, and then... Ja Ja Ja (evil laugh) they will have to try to 1up you with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambles Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If it's an honest test the results would be worth a good look/see. I think the only hope of getting a fair test would be machine testing. You would need something like the Iron Byron that is adjustable to the different swing types and programmable to strike with the sweet, and also reasonably common misses. Obviously a very expensive equipment investment and would probably be fairly expensive to conduct. I doubt MGS has the resources for such an investment or would want to do so unless they could find other users for the machine. I don't much mind human testers but regardless of how honest the testers and how fair the test, there is just too much uncertainty in every stroke. That's why Golf is so much fun. It's also why I made up my own mind about what works for me and which clubs I like most, all by direct use over a few months and sometimes years. Clearly unscientific but only intended to satisfy one user. Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarry Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think the current MGS system of test lends itself to a fair and just, unbiased rating that would work well, and become the new standard for "The Hot List" that everyone actually might pay attention to. Just the simple fact that you may sway the uninformed, follow the trend, believe the current hot list people, toward the real facts and companies they might not know even existed. Also, stressing the fact to be fitted, will result in the average player enjoying the game more and indirectly grow the game.

TWShoot67 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Should MyGolfSpy do our own version of the "Hot List"? {Take them head-on} .... Thinks it's about time???

Justin66 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would love to have some performance data that would compare all the clubs on the "Hot List" to each other, as well as some not as well known brands. Lets take the "Buzz Factor" out of the ratings, and judge clubs based purely on performance. Excellent idea. Golf magazine used to do this, with explanations why things possibly were the way they were. Personally, I would like the Acer's, TWGT's, DTG's, Alpha's, Krank's, etc. included, as well.

STUDque Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I like this innovative idea. Let's call it something catchy like "Hottest List" or "Wanted Hot" or "Most Special" WAIT, I've got it!

mooremikea Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The hot list is a great idea. My search starts at MGS for any new club. Sometimes it takes a little while to find the most wanted posts from a couple years ago. My sweet spot for used clubs is 2-3 years old because you get the most performance for your money. It would be great to have a most wanted for each year for quick reference and then a link back to the full test results.

bullldog Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Yeah, well I wouldn't the phrase or any form of the words/wordings of "Hot List" . It sounds like you're copying them even if testing is completely different. I'd definitely would use different type of wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
