• Grading Every Equipment Manufacturer's Year (So Far) & Ian Poulter Heckles Joe

  Our final special of the summer sees us back at JCB Golf & Country Club to give all of the major equipment manufacturers a summer school report after a very busy year of releases. Those who have been listening since the very early days will remember we did this last year, and it was relatively successful, so we're wheeling it out again. Every brand, graded. It's as simple as that. Any disagreements with us, make sure to get in touch, and we'll be sure to debrief on your reactions when we're back in the studio next week. Hang around until the end, as Joe manages to royally embarrass himself in front of Ian Poulter.Watch us in FULL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KickPointGolfGet in touch with Dan and Joe and 'Ask The Pod' via our email: [email protected] up for the weekly Kick Point newsletter, released every Friday: https://www.golfmonthly.com/newsletter Get three issues of the Golf Monthly magazine delivered to your door for just £5 at https://www.magazinesdirect.com/kickpoint Hosted on Acast.

  It's the final episode of our US Tour! This week, we're in Phoenix, Arizona, taking a peek behind the curtain at Ping's HQ. We've got insights into the brand's new proprietary shaft lab, its unique production line, and its state-of-the-art putter fitting centre. Joe was also fitted on the Proving Grounds for the new i240 and iDi driving iron - we've got our first impressions of both. Finally, we're joined by Ping PGA Tour Rep Kenton Oates as we dive into the equipment of Viktor Hovland. Kenton has been working with Viktor since he left college in 2019, and gave us a superb insight into the bag of one of the most clued-up equipment guys on the Tour.We've got one more special coming up next week (where we grade every equipment manufacturer's year so far) before we're back in the studio for our regularly scheduled programming.

• Behind The Scenes At The Titleist Performance Institute & Our 2025 T-Series Irons First Impressions

  Happy Friday, folks. I hope you're enjoying The Open! We've got a very, very special episode lined up for you this week, the first of three from our trip to the USA in late June. Our first stop was with our friends at Titleist, which was recorded from a state-of-the-art podcast studio at the Titleist Performance Institute in Carlsbad, California.We had a jam-packed day at Titleist's US HQ, so expect to hear about our time behind the scenes at the Titleist factory and everything we saw behind the scenes at the stunning Titleist Performance Institute. We were both lucky enough to experience a full fitting for the new T-Series irons, too. While our full review of the 2025 T Series irons will come once we've had a chance to test them all thoroughly, we had the chance to hit all the new irons out on the fitting facility. While we will linger more on the new T100 we were both fitted into, you'll hear our first impressions of every iron in the sizeable new range.We're also excited to welcome Marni Ines, Director of Iron Development, onto the show to answer some of our questions about the new T-Series as well as some wider questions about how iron design takes place at Titleist. There's also an Ask The Pod as well as a trip down memory lane as Joe recounts some of his favourite Titleist clubs of all time.

• Jack Nicklaus' Clubs, Our Favourite Trainings Aids (And Why You Should Use Them) & Should You Use More Fairway Woods?

  Happy Friday, KPers. It's another hot one in the studio this week, so please forgive our clammy faces and flustered nature. For those who enjoyed watching the shaft wall collapse two weeks ago, we've got another treat for you this week, too...Onto the content, and we're starting with what should be a very helpful segment on our favourite training aids. What are the best and most practical ways of using alignment sticks to help you practice better? We've also got something of an Ask The Pod special this week, with three brilliant questions on fairway woods, wedge grinds, and zero-torque putters to get stuck into. Your questions have been getting better and better (and more frequent) over the last few months, so thank you for your brilliant correspondence that really gets us thinking! Finally, we're wheeling out the retro WITBs once again, this time focusing on Jack Nicklaus's truly fascinating bag. Joe had to do some real digging to find out the specs of The Golden Bear's bag, which includes a three-wood with a 30-year-old tar (yes, tar) grip and irons grinds so specific he barely ever changed clubs.
