For ME the "Hot List" has lost some of it's [s]credibility [/s] meaning. After so many years it has become obvious the money (sic advertising dollars) is a major factor in the whole concept. Responsible informative journalism has taken second seat. I actually quit reading the propaganda and go see for myself what I like.

It's pretty funny how "2nd tier" companies like Cleveland and Cobra end up with the majority of Silver badges.

I liked the days before the hotlist....when they simply listed everything from all the manufacturers.

Ridiculous. How can someone give Rocketbladez Tour irons a gold rating, then give the Ping Anser and Cobra AMP Cell Pro silver? Same with the blade putters...
FairwaysToHeaven
The overall complaint year in is that advertising dollars affect the results. GolfDigest then answer that it doesn't and that thousands of hours were spent testing and thousands of shots were taken.
