There are 94 products profiled in this, our seventh annual Hot List. How did we get here? It's the culmination of a year's worth of investigation, including unbiased input from a team of 32 players, teachers, golf retailers and scientists during two weeks of testing in Mesquite, Nevada. Their advice, along with mountains of technical data from equipment manufacturers and independent sources, was carefully considered by our four Hot List judges before we arrived at our final list.
The Hot List has never been about ending your search for new clubs; it has been about making it more focused. We know there's a lot of good equipment in the market, but only these products receive our highest recommendation: a Gold or Silver medal.
