Editorial team byline
XS Golf Editorial Team is the byline on XS Golf's equipment, simulator and travel coverage. Articles published under it are researched, written and fact-checked by XS Golf. XS Golf was founded and is published by Petro Lymar.
How the pieces connect: XS Golf Editorial Team is the byline. XS Golf is the publisher and is responsible for everything under it. The articles listed below are XS Golf's equipment and simulator coverage. Every one of them follows the method set out in XS Golf Standards.
The expertise behind this byline is a research method applied the same way on every article: research and synthesis using published manufacturer specifications, commercial studio design guidance, verified seller pricing and the named external sources cited on each page. The byline lists no playing credentials, professional qualifications or testing history, because XS Golf does not invent them.
The XS Golf Editorial Team byline appears on XS Golf's buying guides, comparisons and explainers about golf technology. XS Golf decides what gets covered and checks each article against its sources before publishing.
Every claim is traced to a source, and the source type is kept visible:
The source is named next to the claim it supports. A spec that cannot be confirmed is marked N/C rather than estimated. The full process is on the Standards page.
XS Golf does not run a physical testing lab, and articles under this byline do not report first-party test results. Accuracy and performance figures come from the third-party testers named in each article. A first-party testing program is a 2027 commitment and will not be described as current practice until it exists.
XS Golf does not accept payment or free gear in exchange for a positive write-up. Some articles contain affiliate links, and XS Golf may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commissions do not decide which products are recommended. Details are in the affiliate disclosure.
Send questions or corrections through the XS Golf contact page. Answers to common questions about how XS Golf works are in the FAQ, and background on the publication is on the About page.
