Research Sources
Third-party testing is evidence. Golf Value Lab's published analysis is original synthesis.
Comparative testing
Large multi-driver tests are used to understand relative performance within a consistent methodology. Raw results from unrelated test environments are not directly averaged together.
Independent equipment reviews
Professional reviews help evaluate cross-source agreement, fitting range, practical translation and recurring drawbacks.
Manufacturers and retailers
Manufacturer and established-retailer pages are used for factual specifications, MSRP, current pricing and availability. Manufacturer marketing claims do not count as independent performance evidence.
