Par 3 Gear is a golf equipment decision site. Its promise is simple: buy better golf gear.
Par 3 Gear is an independent site run by a small team. No manufacturer or retailer owns any part of it.
Who it is for
Ordinary golfers: beginners, higher handicaps, people coming back to the game, and anyone who would rather not waste money. If you already know your launch numbers and enjoy reading tour bag breakdowns, there are better sites for that.
What it covers
Par 3 Gear covers buying decisions, not golf news or the tour. Sometimes the right answer is not to buy something, or to buy last year’s model, or to buy used, and the site will say so.
What is on the site
- A database of researched products, each with specifications taken from the maker’s own page and tied to that source.
- Dated price checks, each showing the retailer and the date we saw the price.
- Product and category pages built from that data.
- Side-by-side comparisons, and six finders, such as the Driver Finder and the Golf Ball Finder, that match products to your answers.
- Buying guides that explain one decision each, with the products and evidence shown.
We compare what the makers publish and check prices at retailers. A typical price or a deal appears only once a product has enough price history to support it.
How it works
Every claim says how we know it, and anything we do not know is shown as not known. The details are on the methodology page.
How it makes money
Through affiliate links. When you buy through an affiliate link to a retailer, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Each affiliate link is labeled where it appears. Recommendations and the order of products and retailers follow the method on the methodology page: fit to your answers first, then lowest price first. See the affiliate disclosure.
Independence
No manufacturer or retailer has paid for coverage, supplied products, or reviewed anything on this site before publication.
