Yeah that’s an interesting take! I was surprised it performed so low. I wonder if they should do a test where people are fit and dialed in with the right shaft and head combo instead of just the stock offerings.

The testers are fit to the best stock option: shaft and loft.  The target of most wanted testing is players that typically buy off the rack without any kind of fitting.  MGS also recommends players get themselves fit.  The test shows the head that works for the largest percentage of testers which might give an indication of what might work best for you.   The most wanted driver isn’t necessarily the best driver for all the testers.   I am one of the most wanted testers and in many cases the most wanted winner isn’t the best club for me.   
 

you sound like a player that wants to be fit for the best possible option available which is exactly what you should do.  Even if testers  were fit to the best option people would question the results saying the winner wasn’t the best for them and their swimg characteristics

@cnosil 

Thanks, I am aware of the process for most wanted. Just was suggesting another testing opportunity 🙂  
 

Would be interesting to see xx amount of players go through a professional fitting and compare a handful of drivers. Lol too many options for tests, clubs, shafts, grips

Hey, I'm willing to volunteer for an extensive full bag fitting.  I would insist on being flown to Canada to be fit by the TXG guys, but surely MGS wouldn't have a problem with that.😁

14 of the following:

Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree

Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees

Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees

Callaway Epic Max 11 wood

Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW

Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW

Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53

Maltby M Series+ 54 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree

Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree

Evnroll ER2

Ping Sigma 2 Anser

Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag

TaylorMade Mini Spider

Bridgestone XS

Who is paying for the fitters time to fit each person? 
 

Or anyone interested in a certain club can get fit for that club or if they want to find the best one out of a group if drivers they can go get fit and see what works for them.

I have never based any decision off the most wanted test for any club and other than some mindless reading it provides no value to me or my decision making process because there’s nobody doing testing that has my swing, or anyone else’s swing regardless of the handicap and swing speed match mine or not

So you think the oems are going to put their local fitter at mgs hq to do free fittings. Dont see that happening
