Editorial Disclosure
Last updated November 9, 2026
Clear sourcing matters as much as clear writing. Here is how to understand the testing, images and commercial links in this edition.
Testing and impact impressions
The current reviews combine manufacturer specifications, named publishers’ testing and our editorial interpretation. They do not represent hands-on testing conducted by Range & Rough. Sound, feel and performance observations are attributed to the original testers in the article, with links to their work.
We do not use invented launch-monitor results, star ratings, customer testimonials or professional qualifications. A fitting recommendation is an editorial interpretation, not a promise of the same outcome for another player.
Advertising and affiliate links
The current site contains no display advertising, sponsored placements or affiliate purchase links. Source links identify the manufacturer information and published testing behind an article; they are not affiliate links added by Range & Rough.
If a later article contains an affiliate link, paid relationship or a product supplied for coverage, that connection must be disclosed clearly in the relevant article near the recommendation or link. A general disclosure page is not a substitute for a disclosure readers can see where it matters.
Manufacturer imagery
Product photographs and construction illustrations are credited to the manufacturer beside the relevant image or in the review’s image credit. Their use identifies and discusses the specific equipment. It does not imply ownership of the pictured club, a manufacturer partnership or a general right for readers to reuse the image.
New and previous-generation equipment
Range & Rough is for U.S. golf equipment readers and can cover new releases as well as older models. A review identifies the model year where it matters. The first five reviews happen to cover 2025 models; the site is not limited to that year.
Corrections and questions
If a statement, specification or credit needs checking, send the page URL and the relevant original source through our Contact page. We distinguish corrections from changes in personal preference or a different golfer’s fitting outcome.
