3 weeks agoNot gaming ANY of the listed “winners”, but I do know from experience that Ping makes good cart bags, and I have a different Garmin watch that I love, but no winners for me (and I’m very happy with my equipment). I do second the comment about grips – we touch those on every single shot, so it would be nice to see more tests and reviews in that area.

3 weeks agoI have a The Ping Pioneer bag. FYI the the strap pass through if using on a driving cart do not line up, but if using a pull cart it’s ok. Also bag is getting a lot of wear at the back where it rests against the cart that area should be reinforced with some heavy Cordura nylon. The magnetic ball pouch is nice and I would like to see more of the magnetic closure features as long as they are strong magnets like this on has.

3 weeks agoI appreciate the work that goes in but this is just like the Golf Digest HOT LIST…….I think MGS should pivot and not go down this “commercialized” rabbit hole……”Most Wanted” is just another term for “Hot List” or whatever…..Im not a fan of this because of how its presented. I think it takes away from the work that actually goes into the decision making process.

2 weeks agoAt present I’m gaming none of these “most wanted” products. Doesn’t mean that the article doesn’t possibly make some interesting reading. For example, w/ all the major advertised OEM brands out there why were Srixon FW the most wanted?
I think you take articles/surveys such as these & read them for what they are, people’s opinions. I stopped looking at that hot list nonsense years ago because every club received either a gold or silver rating (they can’t afford to alienate their advertisers!).

2 weeks agoThey were the MOST WANTED based on the data. These are not based on surveys, but rather testing.

3 weeks agoI have to say that the best Gloves are the Kirkland brand.
4 pairs for $25 / full leather / fantastic value.

3 weeks agoMe too love these gloves 5$ a piece and have gone 4 rounds with 1 so far.
David Mayorga
3 weeks agoWhat about the best grips? That’s a huge category that’s missing in the rankings.
S. Daughdrill
2 weeks agoI agree, which ones retaing their tackiness the best, any with grip reminders, tapered, untapered, leather vs rubber, etc
