Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show

• Tour Issue: Aaron Rai's M6 Winner, TaylorMade's Qi4D Dream Debut & Ping's Max K Sequel Arrives

  Welcome to the first episode of Kick Point: Tour Issue, your weekly roundup of the weekend's Tour golf and equipment breaking news stories. We couldn't have asked for a more exciting week to bring you our first episode, with new equipment from TaylorMade, Ping and Cobra being seeded on Tour far earlier than we expected. We have our first impressions of all these new clubs and react to Aaron Rai's stunning playoff win in Abu Dhabi. How fitting that, on a week with so much new equipment, a man with a six-year-old model goes and wins big - we love you, Aaron. It's our first Tour Issue, so feedback on our new weekly episodes will be much appreciated. You know where to get in touch!

• Harry Hall What's In The Bag Special, The 'Useless' Launch Monitor Data To Be Wary Of & Are Driving Ranges Getting Too Crowded?

  Happy Friday, and thanks for joining us this week! Another bumper episode for you this week, and we're starting with a rant about driving ranges. Since the introduction of Trackman ranges, it's safe to say the demographics and sheer volume of people going to driving ranges are changing. Is this newfound love for ranges making it tougher for the less casual golfers to get practice in? Or are we too busy looking down our noses at new people joining the game? On Tested This Week, Joe has a new toy - a Foresight GC3 launch monitor to be precise. Off the back of this, we wanted to chat about why the one metric in particular on this (and all) launch monitors should be totally ignored by all levels of golfer.. Ask The Pod this week wants to know why more manufacturers don't switch to two-year release cycles, and then we're excited to welcome Harry Hall onto the show for a What's In The Bag interview. Sam De'Ath met up with Harry at Wentworth to discuss some of the more unique equipment decisions he's made this year. Massive thanks to our sponsors, Golf Gear Giveaways.

• Robert Rock What's In The Bag Special, Odyssey's Zero Torque Breakthrough & Have We Been Getting Lie Angles All Wrong?

  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 to his bag, and Joe gained insight from Avoda's Tom Bailey on how and why the switch took place. Ask The Pod wants to know about spin axis on golf balls, and, finally, we welcome Robert Rock onto the show for one of our most detailed ever What's In The Bags. While most know Robert for his beautiful, meticulous swing, he's also a meticulous equipment builder. Often building his own clubs, he takes us through his current bag of equipment that features four different brands and plenty of old equipment, too.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.

  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, and Dan gets to see it in person for the first time - so what's the verdict? Ask The Pod follows before we welcome Matt Wallace onto the show!
