2025/10/31

Happy Friday and happy Halloween! Nothing spooky for you in this episode, unless you find an hour of rambling about golf equipment scary. One thing some people do find scary is the shaft lean in zero torque putters. Odyssey's new line of Tri-Hot Square 2 Square putters has been designed to get rid of this nearly entirely, and we have our immediate reaction to the new launch and what it might mean for zero torque putters going forward. Also, this week, we chatted about how Jason Day added Avoda irons

Happy Friday, and thanks for downloading this week's episode! There's loads to cover in this jam-packed episode, including the breaking news that TaylorMade's Kingdom fitting centre is finally coming to the UK! But, what does this mean for the average golfer in the UK, and what are the pros and cons of being fitted in a 'single brand' fitting centre? We've also got the viral Sausage putter in the studio with us this week. We alluded to it a few weeks ago, and it's finally arrived. Joe's tested it,

2025/10/17

Happy Friday, folks, thanks for joining us for another week of equipment deep dives. After our direct-to-consumer chat a few weeks ago, we've received some comments asking for more data comparing the drivers and irons of these brands versus the OEMs. So, Joe's brought some receipts from his testing. How close, from a data perspective, are the DTC brands getting to the big dogs? Also, this week, Joe's been out and purchased a golf club with his own money. As a man who gets every club he wants for

Another jam-packed episode for you this week, thanks for joining us! Joe's been given a 4.5° long driv head from Callaway - and has decided to put it in the bag! He tells all about his time with the incredibly low lofted beast, and why it could work for more golfers than you think. Since his dalliance with the long driver head, Joe's been busy measuring driver heads in his garage (what a cool bloke), and he's uncovered some shocking results of the actual driver lofts versus what is stated on the

Happy Friday, folks! Hope you enjoyed last week's Ryder Cup action. We're back this week with a jam-packed episode and something of a putter special. Firstly, Joe's been doing some more digging in the bags of Ryder Cup players, and has been wondering: is the blade (Anser-style) putter dying out completely? After that, we take a look at one of the hottest pieces of equipment doing the rounds on social media right now, the Sausage Golf Boudin Noir putter. Amusing though the name may be (perfect for

Declared an equipment 'loon' by Joe, we discuss the seven driver switches, four lob wedges and four golf balls Justin has had in the bag over the last 18 months. Also this week, Joe's been in a world of his own (literally) with a new VR headset - is this the future of indoor golf? We also have your recent

Happy Friday!! We're back in the studio this week for more equipment fun. The bulk of this week's episode is dedicated to direct-to-consumer brands. These golf brands - like Takomo, Ben Hogan, New Level and Tour Edge - are becoming increasingly more popular and prevalent, but what are they and how do they differ from the original equipment manufacturers like Callaway and TaylorMade? Is the gap between these brands and the OEMs closing? Which categories, if any, do these brands still struggle to

We've been let out of the studio again, and this week's episode comes live from the range at the British Masters.
