Golf Equipment Reviews

Critical Golf brings you unbiased golf equipment reviews, including in-depth analysis of golf GPS devices, iPhone GPS applications, laser rangefinders, carry bags and golf balls.

We compare equipment across multiple criteria to present a comprehensive picture of which equipment is best, and why. Our testing staff includes players ranging from low to high handicaps to provide perspectives relevant to all golfers, regardless of ability level. If there is specific equipment that you would like to see reviewed, please let us know.

We can’t fix your game, but we can help you find the tools that can!
GPS Device

Golf GPS Devices – NEW!
Rankings and reviews of devices ranging from those that offer only the basic distances to those that offer video flyover of holes and even club recommendations.

Carry Bags

Carry Bags
How much do they weigh? How many slots are there for your clubs? Do they feel balanced? Can you fit all the gear that we’ve recommended that you buy in the pockets?

Laser Rangefinder

Laser Rangefinders
Explore the differences – lightweight devices are easy to carry, but harder to hold steady, and there are settings that enable you to scan across multiple points and that make pinpointing a flag easier.

Laser Rangefinder with Slope

Laser Rangefinders with Slope
The more full-featured devices in this category can compute the distance you should play your shot based on the slope of the hole (and even altitude and temperature in one case!)

Golf Ball

Golf Balls
We take the balls to the course for testing…driving, approach shots, chipping and putting. And we lose a few dozen so you don’t have to.

iPhone

iPhone Golf GPS – NEW!
You already have an iPhone, so is that the only GPS device you need? We delve into the details, and suggest you keep an eye on battery life.
