How we make recommendations

Trade-offs, not rankings

A paddle that puts balls away is a paddle that misses more resets. A shoe that grips wet rock is compromised on hardpack. We tell you which one you are buying rather than crowning a single winner.

Specs stay hedged

Model years change constantly in running gear. We give approximate figures, date every product entry, and tell you to confirm on the product page.
