Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show ·

2026/03/20

Another jam-packed episode this week, if a little shorter than last week's feature-length chow down. Firstly, we're putting the latest players' distance iron to hit the shelves up against the GOAT of the category. Can the Ping i540 come close to knocking the TaylorMade P790 off its perch? We've got some of your excellent questions to get through too, as one listener wants to know if he can raw his own irons by taking the protective coating off. Based on Joe's answer, let's hope he hasn't pulled the

Shane, what have you done?! After looking like he was going to cruise to victory at the Cognizant Classic yesterday, two water balls on the 16th and 17th holes saw Shane Lowry throw away a four-shot lead in Florida and see a 4th PGA Tour win slip through his fingertips. Despite the mess he made, we're here to tell you it's not all bad for Shane and that sometimes, sh*t happens! We also dive into the very interesting equipment of the beneficiary of Lowry's catastrophe, Nico Echavarria, who has bagged

Well, who saw that coming? After what looked like a Bryson vs Rahm Sunday shootout was going to take place at LIV Golf Adelaide, Anthony Kim came from five shots back to win for the first time in 16 years and send the world of professional golf into something representing unified glee. We ask whether Kim's win is the biggest and best comeback story since Tiger's in 2019, and also ask whether LIV Golf's TV coverage has the edge over the PGA Tour's TV offering. Elsewhere, we dissect Collin Morikawa's

Happy Monday, folks! We hope you enjoyed this weekend's golf more than Baz did. Having seen his two picks for the WM Phoenix Open head out in the final group on Sunday, both to come up empty-handed, he's a little disappointed. Add to that Daniel Hillier's slow weekend after a lightning-fast start, and it was a case of the nearlies for Baz's debut. We've got our reaction to Matsuyama's chaotic final round, Gotterup's stunning start to the season, and ask whether the in-form American (alongside

Folks, we got him! It's the interview you've been asking for, and the interview Joe has been itching to do ever since we started this podcast: Ian Fraser. Ian, who you'll likely know from his time on the TXG YouTube channel and more recently the Fraser Golf Institute. Quite simply, he's one of the best minds in the world of golf when it comes to equipment and golf club fitting. We met up with Ian at the PGA Show in Florida a few weeks ago for a wide-ranging chat about equipment and, most

It's been a busy week as KPHQ has been based out in Orlando at the PGA Show. To that effect, I'm writing this podcast description at 2:26 am in bed, so it's going to be a short one. This week, Joe reviews the new Takomo irons. With private equity now on board and the 'new kid on the block' bounce now over, is the second generation of Takomo irons a step forward or backwards?

We're practising gratitude this week at KPHQ, so thank you for downloading this week's episode amidst the glut of golf content that exists in the world. With Tour golf back and equipment season in full swing, it feels like golf has woken up again after a quiet few weeks over Christmas and New Year. With that in mind (and the fact we only filmed this episode on Wednesday), we thought a mini Tour Issue would be in order.
