Faldo's '96 Masters Winning Clubs, Titleist GT vs TSR...

Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show ·

2024/11/28

With the Titleist GT range being the newest driver family currently on the market (more to come on this in January...) we thought it would be a good time to compare it to its older sibling, the TSR. How much, if any, gains were made in Titleist's newest driver offering and what changes were made in the new design? The Ask The Pod wanted to know what our favourite clubs we've ever used are. While Dan only has one club he's got much affinity for, Joe has used so many in his long career that he runs

2024/11/21

While we remain in the equipment Twilight Zone, Joe has decided once again to get all philosophical about golf equipment. He's questioning everything about how the golf bag is set up. Why don't we carry two drivers? Why do we use so many irons? This week, he gives some out-of-the-box suggestions for how we should think about making the most of all 14 clubs in the bag. This week's Ask The Pod is seeking buying advice. As a 10 handicapper looking to get down into single figures, what are the best

2024/11/14

We’ve got something a little different for you on this week’s episode - our first retro WITB. As we’re entering a period with new equipment being seeded into players' bags (which we can't talk about until embargoes lift), we thought we’d pause the modern WITBs and dive into some retro ones - and where better to start than with Tiger Woods? Joe focuses specifically on the clubs he used to win the 1997 Masters, a tournament he won by 12 shots with no less than four different manufacturers in the

It's a mega episode for you this week as we dive into Adam Scott's bag. Though he's now known for being one of the biggest tinkerers in the game, there was a time when he didn't change a single club in the bag for years at a time. Joe examines each club in the Australian's bag (at the time of recording) and the story of when and why he finally started to change clubs. Before all of that, we've got an explainer on compression in golf balls while the Tested This Week looks at PXG's latest Xtreme

You thought our run of interviews was over. We thought our run of interviews was over. That was until Matt Fitzpatrick invited us for an in-depth chat about his golf clubs at a recent Skechers event in London. While Joe covered his clubs extensively in an episode a few months ago, his in-person chat with Matt allowed him to ask some of the questions left unanswered by his research while also diving into the equipment changes he's made over the late summer. Also this week, Joe explains exactly what

Not only do you have a deep dive into the two-time Major winner's bag to enjoy, but Joe also explains why he thinks the new PuttOut AirBreak putting mat is a revolutionary new product for at-home putting practice.

This week, Joe has yet another iron family to review, this time from PXG. As well as the game improvement PXG Black Ops irons (the first ever true game improvement iron from PXG), he's also recently tested the 0311 P & XP Gen 7 irons. Despite the complex naming system that PXG continues to employ with some of its franchises, Joe gives his full verdict on these fresh offerings in the iron market to see if they can compete alongside the more established brands.

This week, Joe gives his verdict on the latest Mizuno JPX925 Hot Metal irons. One of the most popular iron franchises for the discerning golfer who still requires some of added forgiveness, Joe reviews all three new models that were launched last month. After that, the Explainer this week focusses on loft & lie on golf clubs. We all likely know what loft is and what lie angle is, but Joe divea into what they effect when it comes to hitting the ball and why both are such important aspects of club

With the well-loved P770 receiving a face lift and the all-new P7CB being introduced a few weeks ago, Joe gives his full verdict on how well TaylorMade has refined and improved on its flagship iron series. This week's explainer is something of a back to basics on grips. It's the only part of the golf club golfers actually touch, so it's an important facet of the game to

Joe was lucky enough to enjoy the full fitting experience at the Titleist Performance Centre in Woburn and shares his thoughts both on that experience and the performance of the new drivers.

The lads were on site at JCB Golf & Country Club for the LIV UK event back in July and have lined up six WITB specials with some of the game's biggest names. This week, they're joined by Henrik Stenson who talks through his eclectic and somewhat aging bag of equipment.

We're back in the studio this week after our recent trip to The Wisley. Joe has been out testing Cobra's new LIMIT3D iron, the first fully 3D printed iron to be available at retail. Cobra launched the irons with bold claims of 'blade looks' with 'game improvement forgiveness' and Joe's testing reveled some incredible findings. It felt fitting after chatting about the LIMIT3D iron to delve into the wider relationship between golf club manufacturing and 3D printing. What exactly is it? What are the
