Hey Man, Nice Shot
Great point about people buying what they test. I plan on buying some SCORs when my testing is done. I would like lofts that suit my game a little better and I have mentioned this in the testing thread.
I pretty much trust everyone when they write a review. We can only relate our experiences and those are largely based on what we have hit in the past and currently own. Most testers do not have access to a huge selection of clubs for comparison. When someone says "This is the best driver I have ever used!" I pretty much believe them. Has to be taken into context based on their past experiences. We are amateurs in testing and golfing and don't have access to a stable of clubs for long term comparison. Hitting a couple shots with something in Golf Galaxy doesn't qualify as a "test" IMO. Can get some quick impressions, that's about all.
For me, the integrity of the testing process is rock solid.
