Peter Finch What's In The Bag Special! Plus, Catching Up On Our Week In Pinehurst & What Are The Golf Clubs To Beat in 2026?
01:00:28|A very special episode for you this week, filmed outside The Cottage at Pinehurst No. 8! Yes, we're back from our very special week in golf heaven, and we've got loads to catch up on. From playing Pinehurst No. 2 and No. 10 to snooping around inside Golf Pride's new Performance Lab and Global Innovation Center, we've been busy boys. We'll update you on our time in North Carolina, including our time in the Golf Hall Of Fame and the USGA testing facilities, too. After the self-indulgence, there's plenty of equipment chat to get stuck into. With the 2026 releases just around the corner (most of which we've already seen), what clubs from 2025 and before and the ones to beat? We've also got some of your excellent correspondence, including one listener who has managed to caramalise his golf clubs...We then welcome Peter Finch onto the podcast for a What's In The Bag looking ahead to his 2026 season. Though now a Titleist staffer, Pete has a wealth of club knowledge, having been a club reviewer for much of his YouTube career and has had the privilege of a VIP fitting at TPI. Massive thanks to Golf Pride, the Pinehurst Resort and GMS for hosting us last week. We'll have a special pod coming from inside Golf Pride's Global Innovation Center in the New Year. Also, shout out to Jake and George from GMS for standing out in the cold and filming us so beautifully!

Tour Issue: Matsuyama's Winning Clubs, The Tour Sauce Behind Scheffler's New Driver & Our First Look At Callaway's Quantum and Cobra's OPTM Drivers
35:36|What a weekend of golf that was! With high profile tournaments in Australia, South Africa and The Bahamas, we've got loads to talk about. While not a winner this week, Scottie Scheffler took his appearance at the Hero World Challenge to debut his new TaylorMade Qi4D driver. We've spotted some unqiue features already on what looks to be a model with plenty of Tour-only offerings built in. We also dive into tournament winner Hideki Matsuyama's winning bag as the Japanese star romped home to victory after a stunning final day display. Also this week, Callaway's Quantum and Cobra's OPTM drivers hit the conforming list - we've got our first impressions of the new offerings. Rasmus Neergaard-Petesen won in Australia and Kristoffer Reitan won in South Africa, marking a great win for Scandinavian golf and Ping as we delve into their bags
Tour Issue: David Puig's Winning Bag, Penge Changes Putters (Again!) & Was The Skins Match Just A Worse Version Of YouTube Golf?
35:07|Happy Monday, thanks for downloading! Another busy weekend of golf to reflect on this week. Joe met up with David Puig in Singapore earlier this year and, for reasons we disclose in the podcast, we never used the interview in a show. Though we've never aired it, it does mean Joe has a good insight into the Spaniard's bag that features four different brands and some old equipment too. Elsewhere, Ping has teased some new putters (and Viktor Hovland is testing them), and Marco Penge has switched putters again. We also reflect on golf in general in Australia and The Skins match on Amazon Prime last Friday. Has YouTube golf taken the mantle as the most entertaining form of golf?Can You Trust Online Club Fittings? Plus, How Reducing Shaft Length Can Help Your Driving & Peter Uihlein What's In The Bag Special?
57:25|Happy Friday, folks, and happy Thanksgiving weekend to our American friends. Another jam-packed episode this week, one that gets very techy in places, so strap in. Firstly, Joe has a Big Question. Why are club fittings all working in such small parameters? Lie angles never go more than two degrees upright or flat, swing weights are rarely altered outside of standard, grips are normally standard size - why don't we think bigger when it comes to fittings? Speaking of swing weight, Joe's got a new digital swing weight machine to show off, and we do a little live experiment showing how adding a taking away a little weight at either end of the club can drastically affect the swing weight reading. He's also got some tidbits on driver shaft testing, and how reducing the shaft length in your driver could be a solution that most amateur golfers aren't utilising to improve their game off the tee. Finally, we've sent our roving reporter, Sam De'Ath, back out to the Philippines for another What's In The Bag special, this time with Peter Uilhein.
Valimaki's Free Agent, Multi-Brand Winning Clubs, Odyssey's New Zero Torque Putters Get A Win & Why Are Titleist So Dominant On Tour?
39:53|Happy Monday - hope you had a good weekend, thanks for downloading this week's Tour Issue! Plenty for us to cover as the 'Free Agent Finn' Sami Valimaki wins on Tour with a massively mixed bag of equipment featuring four brands and, our favourite, a mini driver. On the LPGA Tour, Jeeno Thitihul broke records with her full bag of Callaway equipment, including a first win for the brand's newest range of putters. Will this start a new trend in the zero-torque putter space? Also, Titleist's 24/25 DP World Tour report was released this week, revealing a truly dominant share of golf balls and wedges on Tour this year. With driver counts increasing year on year for the brand too, we ask: why are Titleist so dominant in the bags of Tour players?Bryan Bros What's In The Bag Special, Our 'Mount Rushmore' Of Equipment Components & Should All Golf Lessons Start With Equipment Checks?
01:15:51|Happy Friday, everyone! This week, we welcome our biggest guests to date: George and Wesley Bryan, also known as the Bryan Bros. Two of the biggest content creators on YouTube stopped to chat with our very own Sam De'Ath at the International Series in the Philippines last month. Expect insight on their experiences with Takomo irons, driver tinkering stories and why they've decided to switch to L.A.B. putters.But before you listen to any of that, we've got much more in this week's episode to get stuck into. Firstly, Joe runs us through his 'Mount Rushmore' of golf equipment components. Which grips, shafts, or other golf components are in Joe's top four? We've also got what we think is our best collection of Ask The Pods to date this week. One listener wants to know why the line between equipment fitter and golf coach isn't more blurred, and we've also for a great message from a fellow equipment junkie and club builder who wants to know if the Frankenstein's monster of a club he's concocted is too daft to play in reality.
