What is your opinion on their testing. I find the club selection for testing intriguing.

I occasionally check out the Golf Test USA site, but their big problem is not all manufacturers choose to participate, which means their testing is incomplete. Their criteria is a little broken down a little more than the Golf Digest Hot List, but is not really much different when it comes right down to it. When comparing the results between the big testing sites they all end up similar, but still somewhat different. That's why I use multiple sites for information and comparisons.

Here is another site that I check. They do the same type of testing, but have more of the bigger name manufacturer's in their testing:

I agree about it being incomplete, I also find some of the results to be odd. For example according to test results, the FT-i has better control than the FT-5? Are they referring to shot shaping capability on this? Seems like those numbers would be reversed, of course they don't say which version of the FT-i or FT-5 they tested.

there are a lot of manufacturers that i have never even heard of on there:
HYBRIDS: Vulcan, Black Shark, Innovex, Infiniti (I thought they went out of business, lol), Alpha
DRIVERS: Alpha, Innovex, Playing Pro...and i thought Founders Club went out of business too? guess not though....
very strange test as most of the popular drivers and hybrids arent even listed (TaylorMade, Titleist, etc)

Looks kinda kooky to me. The "overall" numbers range from 8.1 to 8.5. I see some 2 year old models. I don't see a lot of the major brand models. I don't get it.
