Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-04-24
The short version:
Cubical Golfer earns money through affiliate links. When you click a link and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our reviews or recommendations. Every product is purchased with our own money and tested independently.
How We Make Money
Cubical Golfer is an independently run golf gear review site. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions — when you click a product link on our site and make a purchase at a retailer like Amazon, we receive a small percentage of the sale. This costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Amazon Associates: Cubical Golfer is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
We may also participate in other affiliate programs including LinkConnector, PlayBetter, and direct brand partnerships. All affiliate relationships are disclosed on this page.
How We Review Products
Affiliate revenue does not influence our editorial decisions. Our review process:
We buy every product ourselves. No manufacturer freebies, no loaner units, no sponsored reviews. Every product on this site was purchased with our own money.
We test over 10+ real rounds. Not in a simulator, not on a launch monitor in a lab. On actual golf courses in real playing conditions.
We recommend what works. If a cheaper product outperforms an expensive one, we say so — even if the expensive one pays a higher commission. Our reputation depends on honest recommendations.
For full details on our testing methodology, see How We Test.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on Cubical Golfer are labeled with a disclosure statement: "Affiliate link — we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you." Links to Amazon include our affiliate tag (cubicalgolfer-20) in the URL. Non-affiliate links (to manufacturer sites, PGA.com, etc.) do not generate any revenue for us.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We believe in full transparency about how we earn revenue and how it does (and does not) affect our content.
