Expert panel
Expert review panel
Golf professionals and hands-on launch monitor testers who check the technical side of what I publish.
Last updated
I research and write every page, as explained in how I research. The panel brings what research alone can't: years of teaching, fitting and testing launch monitors in person. Members review guides for technical accuracy, such as what a unit measures and how it behaves indoors. Recommendations stay mine.

How the panel works
- Panel members are paid for their review time, not for any outcome.
- Some members earn affiliate commissions or sponsorships from golf brands and retailers on their own channels. They don't choose or rank picks here.
- When a member has checked a specific guide, their name appears on that page. Corrections from the panel are handled like any other, under the editorial policy.
