I installed my first radiant floor heating system in a small bathroom six years ago, and I have not stopped recommending one to friends and family since. Stepping onto a warm tile floor on a freezing January morning changes your relationship with your home in a way central air never can. After months of testing, … Read more

After our team spent 14 weeks testing 10 golf launch monitors on indoor mats, at our local driving range, and even in the back garden during a typical British downpour, we walked away with a clear picture of what works. We tracked ball speed, club head speed, spin rate, and carry distance against known reference … Read more

After spending more than 90 hours testing launch monitors, hitting mats, and enclosure kits across three garages and a basement, I can tell you the best golf simulators in are not all created equal. I have personally stood over 2,400 simulated shots and crunched spin rate, ball speed, and carry distance numbers until my eyes … Read more

I’ve spent the last three months testing the best golf hitting nets on the market, and the difference a quality net makes to your home practice is massive. A great net lets you swing a full driver in your garage or backyard without chasing balls down the street. After putting eight different models through their … Read more

Pulling arrows out of a soggy cardboard box in the rain gets old fast. I learned that the hard way during my second summer of backyard practice, when my DIY foam stack basically disintegrated after three weeks of regular shooting.

Last summer, I drove 1,200 miles to a mountain bike festival with two carbon frames strapped to my old roof rack. One loose clamp cost me a $3,200 fork. That mistake taught me to never trust a rack without testing it first. Our team spent 90 days mounting, loading, and hauling 10 of the most … Read more

I still remember the afternoon I rolled under my old truck on four jack stands. The creeper caught on a chunk of gravel, my elbow smacked the concrete, and the whole operation took an hour just to swap a starter. After that I started hunting for the best portable car lifts I could fit in … Read more

I spent 14 days hunched over my ZX-6R changing brake pads on cold concrete, and my back still hasn’t forgiven me. That weekend I decided enough was enough. I bought a lift, tested it, then tested seven more, and the best motorcycle lifts saved my spine, my time, and a lot of foul language. Our … Read more

Crawling around on cold concrete to lube a chain or pull a rear wheel gets old fast. I spent two years doing exactly that before I finally picked up my first motorcycle lift, and the difference was night and day. Suddenly, chain maintenance took minutes instead of an hour, and my back stopped screaming at … Read more
