• 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?

  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.

• 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

  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 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.

• Tour Issue: David Puig's Winning Bag, Penge Changes Putters (Again!) & Was The Skins Match Just A Worse Version Of YouTube Golf?

  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?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.

• Can You Trust Online Club Fittings? Plus, How Reducing Shaft Length Can Help Your Driving & Peter Uihlein What's In The Bag Special?

  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.
