who's the evil empire then? I'm confused all of a sudden and need a coffee.
What starts with a A and ends in a T?

Will the Spring issue of THP have the actual numbers from the Shootout like average distance of each driver?
you can usually find those distances posted somewhere on the web where they use iron Byron. I agree as you say it's really meaningless in real world situations..too many variables.Thanks for the great reviews that do have meaning.We will put out a lot of information, but we will not be putting out driving distance, because frankly it really is not relevant. We had so many people try the drivers from 3 different handicap groups that the distances were all over the map.

I wish we could do the distances, but like I said, they are all over the place. All we really try and worry about are the averages of all the players together.
All great questions, that I wish I could answer. Our testing is done without a launch monitor because I feel as though that is how most consumers buy their drivers. However with that being said, I firmly believe in using one and getting fit.
the DST seemed lower spinning for me than that of the MachSpeed, but that was just on the range as i have not played extensively with them yet. I found most of the top 5 drivers in the distance category to have less spin than a lot of the other models. The Burner for example seemed to have very low spin compared to that of others. But in reality, it is just perception until we get them on a monitor and know for sure what the numbers are.
Thanks for the reply and the info.
So to summarize based on my question you would say spin from low to high of those 3 in this order: Burner, DST, Machspeed?
Based on the length of the Burner and DST was the Control or Accuracy reasonable? While they may not have been in the top 5 in accuracy were they closer to the top or bottom?
I really do not know the spin numbers, because they were not on a monitor. I am not sure there was a single driver shorter than 45 inches in the bunch.
Thanks, JB. Guess that means length doesn't matter after all!:nono: Oops....wrong forum.
Question...
How come you say the ZL did so poorly. The Hot List gave it a golf medal but you said it was not too good at all.
Why is this?

All of those drivers did quite well. I will say that the light drivers that were a big trend in 2010 for the most part did extremely well for the high and mid handicappers. The DST, Adams Fast 10, TM Burner, etc...Only the Cobra ZL failed miserably in this case and struggled with both distance and accuracy for all 3 categories.
I really do not think I said anything of the sort. In fact we said that every single driver did quite well. For my game personally and many of the testers, the ZL did not work well. We found the shaft/head combination poor at best. But then again, I think our testing is far more transparent than that of the Hot List.
The Hot List is not a club test in the end. They measure what is Hot with things such as Buzz/demand, etc....
I gotcha.
I took the first quote as it being not so hot of a club but i understand what you mean.
