Home › Golf equipment online
Someone buying golf equipment online asks how much postage costs, from what amount delivery is free, how long a product can be returned and who pays for the return. These decide 50 points out of a hundred.

We scored 6 golf equipment online shops on 20 metrics: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality. The key question: can you see the club's price, stock level, delivery and return costs and information about the custom fitting service before you enter your payment card details?
Product prices and stock levels shown without logging in (25), delivery costs and free delivery threshold stated before checkout (20), return and warranty terms publicly available (20), club custom fitting service clearly stated (10), stock level or availability shown on the product page (10), business ID (Y-tunnus) or responsible company clearly stated (10), independent review source displayed (5)
Transparency is 30% of the basic metrics, i.e. 15% of the total points · these metrics make up its 100 points · the full formula and the other pillars
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
Annual updates of club models and the absence of a custom fitting service in online ordering are the industry's pain points. Golf clubs are updated as model years, so it is important for the consumer to see the year of the model on sale and whether clearance or demo models are available more cheaply. The length, stiffness and lie angle of a club affect the shot, so information on whether the shop offers a custom fitting service is decisive. The comparison rewards shops that show the product price and stock level, delivery costs and the free delivery threshold, and return and warranty terms before purchase.
All stores in the comparison are Finnish companies. GOLFIN, Golftiimi, Suomen Golftalo, Golf Plus, Golfpoint and Golf Jurta are all Finnish companies registered with the PRH. Some show their business ID (Y-tunnus) clearly on their website, some do not, even though the company is registered. The business ID (Y-tunnus) metric assesses how clearly the responsible company is shown on the site.
