completely agree with erock9174 on getting players with different handicaps. as it stands, the players they use really arent based on the overall population. pretty easy to see in a comparison chart here (between Hot List player handicap and USGA): i think they need to get back to having different categories of players rate the club completely separately (be it a slicer, hooker, fader, short-ball hitter...etc.) somehow. for me, the list really doesnt provide any use. and the categories that they use to rank them are meaningless to me, particularly like demand and innovation, which make up 35% (!) of the total score. and innovation score "reflects how a specific technology advances the category and how it's explained to the public and our editors" - to me that simply doesnt matter. that sounds like you could have two clubs from different manufactuers which are the *exact* same in every way (just pretend this is possible), and the manufacturer that has the best press and tries new things is going to have a much higher hot list score for their club vs its twin. but all i want to know is which club *performs* best other comments: It's perfect, leave it just how it is! ..... well, its never going to be "perfect" for me, I just read it to see what "new" products are available Your take on the Hot List, good or bad? .... only useful to see the cross section of clubs available - more marketing for gd than anything else What parts of it would you change, and why? ....like above, have different types of players evaluate clubs appropriate for them Is the way they rate clubs helpful to you as a potential buyer? .... not a big What parts would you keep exactly as they are, and why? ....i bet some of their data is interesting and should be left as is, i just wish they would show it (how do they score every club and every category - just show the scores for all clubs tested, even those that didnt make the list) Do you think the smaller companies get short end of the stick, while the big boys get all of the spotlight? ... unfortunately, i think so...

I have used a friends, but only for a few holes. It is a pretty nice GPS. It is small (not as small as the Upro though) and the picture of the green is clear. The good part is that you don't have to pay for every course like you do with the old Upro. However, the Upro has more stuff on it like video. The Go is a much more more basic GPS, and costs a lot less. Here is a link to one review (I don't see a review at http://thesandtrap.com): http://criticalgolf.com/golf-gps-rev...pro-go-review/ which you may want to check out. It also shows some errors but I didn't see any when I was playing with it (but I didn't use it for an entire round).

golflogix is okay, though it wont show you drawings of the hole from above or satellite pictures. but like other ones i have tried the battery life is brutally short and if you use it heavily during the round you wont have a lot left after. you should check out criticalgolf.com for some other reviews and about.com, they have some more details. personally i wouldnt get an app like golflgix but you should try airvue (super cheap)

it sounds like the jury is still out...here is a page that has a couple of options http://criticalgolf.com/?page_id=3313 my personal take is that the "free" versions are worth what you pay. probably best to buy an app from a company that maps the courses themselves, though those cases are few and far between. depending on which garmin, think twice about returning (or maybe exchanging for another!) - they are really handy devices, and offer a lot of distance detail that aren't shown in any of the software applications for the iPhone... good luck!
