Women's
Woods November 2002
GolfTest
USA has just completed testing on the following Women's
woods: Jazz Ladies Driver; Jazz Ladies Fairway Woods; Kasco
K2K Ladies Utility/Fairway Woods.
The
testing of drivers and fairway woods was conducted using
two evaluation formats. The first evaluation format was
done by GolfTest USA Test Administrators and in the second
evaluation format GolfTest USA asked each golfer to rate
several criteria on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best.
GolfTest USA had average golfers, with handicaps from 5
to 25, test each of the clubs listed below. Each golfer
hit shots off a tee for drivers and off the fairway for
fairway woods. GolfTest USA Test Administrators rated the
distance of each shot on a scale of 1 to 10 and the "Control"
and "Accuracy" they felt each golfer displayed
with each driver during the test. These ratings were then
combined with the golfers own ratings to come up with an
overall rating for each driver.
The
woods that achieved the highest ratings have been awarded
GolfTest USA's "Seal Of Excellence". (For
more info click here) Those woods have been designated
with three asterisks after them.
Let
us know if there are other Women's woods you would like
us to test and we will contact the manufacturers and see
if they will participate in our next testing cycle. requestatest@golftestusa.com

Over
several years of testing GolfTest USA has determined that
when subjective and objective ratings from our Test Administrators
and the golfers taking the test are combined the overall
rating is a very accurate indication of the actual performance
of any particular golf product. There is only a small difference
in the ratings yet even a couple of percentage points difference
from one club to another is significant enough to indicate
a club that performs at a superior level to other clubs.
