Weekly on-course reviews

I am the caddie who will tell you not to buy the club I play.

Mike Gaff. 4.2. Titleist 620 MB. One real on-course review a week. If I have not used it, it is not here.

The deal

How this works

01

I play it

If it is not in my bag or in my testing rotation, it does not get a verdict. Range buckets do not count as a review.

02

Five rounds

Minimum. On a course, keeping score. Gear feels different when the shot matters. Full method on How I Test.

03

Who it is for

Every issue says who should buy and who should skip. Blades are not a personality. Ego costs strokes.

04

Play, skip, or wait

Three verdicts. Play it, skip it, or wait for a fitting. I would rather you keep the money than buy the wrong thing.
