Golf equipment continues to get better and more expensive. Our 2025 testing proved that great performance doesn’t always mean a premium price. This list highlights the best value clubs in each major category, those that delivered real results without a markup.
The best driver of 2025
of Tour Edge E725 topped the “Best for Accuracy” category in MyGolfSpy 2025 Most Wanted Driver Testgiving the highest percentage of playable and direct shots among his peers. Testers noted that while it didn’t claim the longest carry distance or the highest ball speed, it offered tight distribution and minimal performance degradation on off-center shots. It is the best driver of 2025.
The best hybrid of 2025
ORKA’s RSX ranks as the most forgiving hybrid in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 test, earning a forgiveness score of 9.0. It wasn’t given an official title of best value, but at the current price, you’ll find it one of the best values ​​on test. The RSX was built for reliability rather than raw power, and it shows in the data: its distance and accuracy scores trailed few competitors. For players who prioritize durability and confidence over pure distance, the RSX represents one of the best value buys of 2025.
Best Value Players Irons 2025
Toura’s SCB-1 irons won “Best Value” honors at MyGolfSpy 2025 Players Ironst. Testers praised its solid feel and control, noting that the SCB-1 delivered balanced performance in distance, accuracy and forgiveness. You don’t see that often at this price point with an iron. While he didn’t dominate in any single category, his shot-for-shot consistency and predictability stood out.
Handcuff the distance of the best value player
Stix competition hollow body took home the best value tag in the 2025 Player’s Distance Irons test, offering a rare combination of outstanding accuracy and affordable price. Testers gave it an accuracy score of 9.3 (top of the category) and forgiveness of 8.7. While it was one of the shortest irons tested, the durability makes it a solid choice for players who want performance without the premium cost.
Best value super gaming upgrade iron 2025
The game improvement category didn’t have a clear “value” winner in 2025, but Super game improvement the test did. of Tommy Armor 845+ ranks near the top for accuracy and forgiveness, earning an overall runner-up position. Testers called it one of the most durable and confidence-building irons on the court, especially for mid- and high-handicap players who struggle with consistent release and maintaining ball speed. While it doesn’t offer the same explosive distance as some models with more solid height, its forgiving face and consistent distribution make it a real standout for value-minded golfers.
The best value wedge of 2025
of Wilson Infinite wedge emerged as the clear “best value” wedge in the MyGolfSpy 2025 test, thanks to its sub-$130 price and solid performance in full-swing and 50-yard (dry and wet) test conditions. The Infinite delivers the basics, stable carry, reliable rotation and a forgiving sole. One caveat: because it’s aimed at value-minded players, the grind and bounce choices are limited, and while the feel is good for the price, it doesn’t match the forged tournament feel of higher-end models.
Best value blade extractor 2025
The blade movers didn’t give much budget advantage in 2025, but Tommy Armor Impact No. 2 proved that great performance doesn’t have to cost $400. He produced a PuttView Handicap of –9.6 from average distance (10 feet), which was more than five strokes better than the next closest competitor. Testers praised its clean alignment, soft yet responsive feel and excellent spin consistency, especially on shots inside 20 feet. While it lacks the premium mills or exotic face inserts found on high-end models, its results speak for themselves.
Best value hammer thrower 2025
Wilson Infinite Buckingham stands out as the best value hammer putter of 2025. In 2025 testing, he finished with an overall PuttView Handicap of -6.6including a mid-range score of -9.2 and another -9.0 for long-range shots. As well as being the best value, it was also the best overall gauge of 2025. While its spin, reach and consistency won praise, its look and sound were less universally liked: “not the best-looking hammer tested, but it got the ball in the hole.”
In case you didn’t know, at the moment, Buckingham is nowhere to be found for right-handed players. However, Wilson has limited stock available for you left there. If you are looking for an alternative to Buckingham, PING Scottsdale Tyne 4 AND Stix Compete Tech Mallet performed very well in our 2025 testing.
