Mini drivers, 7-woods and zero-torque putters seem to be everywhere right now — but why does golf equipment go through these waves of popularity in the first place?
In this episode of Your Golf Podcast by NCG, Tom Irwin is joined by PGA Professional Jack Backhouse to explore why certain clubs and technologies suddenly become the must-have items in golfers’ bags.
