Launched in the spring of 2009, Critical Golf focuses exclusively on providing reviews of golf equipment. Unlike other websites and publications that rely on advertising from manufacturers, Critical Golf is an independent site that was created to provide unbiased opinions of the newest products on the market.
Frustrated with cursory reviews filled with manufacturer marketing material, web sites with one-off reviews within a product category, and magazines that hand out awards to seemingly every product tested (when did you last read a negative review in a golf magazine?), we set out to provide consistent, thorough reviews that allow readers to compare products side-by-side. We compare golf equipment across multiple criteria to present a comprehensive picture of which product is best, and why.
We have started with in-depth analyses of golf GPS devices, laser rangefinders, carry bags, iPhone GPS applications, and golf balls, and are adding both new product categories and additional products within existing categories. Our testing staff includes players ranging from low to high handicappers to provide perspectives relevant to all golfers, regardless of ability level, and each product is tested by all staff members.
If there are particular products or categories you would like to see reviewed, please don’t hesitate to drop us a note.
Enjoy our site, and hit ‘em straight.
