Is the Hot List the best place to get golf advice?
With fewer retail stores and more dollars being spent online, getting smart advice about what to buy has gotten harder for average golfers, who are desperate for trusted information. We believe the Hot List continues to be the most valuable source amid all the confusion.

Do the best golf clubs really matter?
Another explanation is more complex. The best golf clubs we have identified—138 Gold and Silver medalists out of 289 considered—matter because they resonate, adapt or discover ways to optimize each golfer’s potential, not just via more shafts or adjustable wrenches or even the undeniable and strongly encouraged benefits of custom-fitting.

I needed a good laugh so I just read through the Hot List. What a joke! Instead of medal ratings, it should read how much does this company advertise at Golf Digest? I mean the Scotty Cameron blade designs, that have been out for years, got 5 stars for innovation and the EVNroll got 3.5? How can you take that seriously?
