Breaking Down the Golf Club Ratings
Golf club ratings measure all sorts of things about the equipment that, one hopes, gets the ball from the tee to the green to the hole. You need to understand the ratings before you go shopping for golf clubs to see if one club or another is the right club for you.
Nike Golf Clubs
After 25 years of being a footwear and apparel company, Nike appeared on the golf equipment scene in the late 1990s and has proven itself as an industry leader in a relatively short period of time. Nike has a large number of positive golf club ratings for its drivers.
Rated for accuracy and reliability, the op rated Nike golf drivers are the Nike 350cc forged driver 10.5 degree, and the Nike 450 cc driver. Nike's CPR woods are also highly rated, getting a 4.5 out of 5 possible points at a popular golf club rating site.
Nike's highest rated golf club driver, however, is the SasQuatch Sumo 460, receiving a 4.59 rating out of 5 points. The SasQuatch won Golf Digest's Editor's Choice award for drivers in 2006.
One SasQuatch reviewer wrote, "I can't count how many times my regular playing partners 'demanded' to hit this driver." Another wrote, "Quick 7 month upgrade. Still in love with this club." The user wrote that he was able to concentrate on his short game now that the Nike SasQuatch driver had gotten his long game under control.
Finally, a third reviewer wrote that he got "huge distance, literally unbelievable forgiveness, yet workable when you want it to be." The rater urged everyone who reads golf club ratings to "buy this, not some 'draw' or 'fade' driver of a weight adjustable club."
Titleist Golf Clubs
Titleist is more of a long-term player in the golf equipment industry. Golf club ratings for Titelist clubs reveal that the highest rated Titleist driver is the Titleist 905T driver. However, the Titleist golf club ratings were inferior compared to the Nike club ratings.
Readers Beware
When reading golf club ratings on the Internet, beware of ratings that sound too good to be true and find nothing at all to criticize about the club. Some manufacturers or marketing companies hire freelance writes to write positive product reviews of products they have never even tried before.
When reading an online review, click the user's name and see what other product he or she has reviewed. People tend to get a reputation on the Internet, and by reading a few reviews this person has written, you will better be able to assess how much value to give their golf club ratings.
