July 2008 - The following test was included in our July 2008 newsletter found here
We at Rankmark were given the task of selecting 24 different drivers. All were thought by us or the manufacturers to be competitive and if put to the test could certainly end up “best”.
Each club was placed in a group of 6 so that they could be easily compared. Each was tested for feel, accuracy, and distance – awarding 5 points for first, 4 for second, 3 for third, 2 for forth, and one for fifth.
Since this Randmark scoring system seems to have a 5% margin of error and our usual cut line of 30 points or more (all the way down to 28) the leaders who would continue to the second stage of testing included;
Simpac S cube
34
Bobby Jones

Ping G 10

Vector Beta Ti

Nike SQ

Taylor Made Burner

We took these nine and unbeknown to the testers were looking for the top five to award the Rankmark “Best of the Best” symbol for them to use in their marketing.
The top nine were put through the same rigorous test with the following results:
