The MyGolfSpy Hot List?


GolfSpy_X

Recommended Posts

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;)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can this be "Quote of the Year"?

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!

How about MGS Most Wanted?

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.

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.

I am all for reading old posts, but I think bumping them often confuses more readers than it helps

Will have to watch this in the future.  I just jumped right in to give my opinion on a 5 year old question. Haha

Some are liking this idea, but requesting it be totally data driven. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's all about the data then isn't just a "Most Wanted" list.
