| The following report is presented by Rankmark.com, the golf industry leader in consumer-based testing. Rankmark started with
44 drivers but determined that they needed to narrow the field down to a more
manageable number. They asked 200 “testers” to choose
the 10 best drivers from the field. As expected, the
“testers” could not agree on which drivers should be omitted.
Each tester hit each driver either 2 or 3
times, and votes were tallied for each driver.
The following is an alphabetical listing
of their choices representing the narrowed down field:
| Adams GT
363 |
Mizuno T-Zoid Blue
