• Sepp Straka's Clubs, Maxfli XC2 Iron Review & Do Taller People Really Need Longer Clubs?

  Happy Friday, folks! Another busy episode for you this week. To start, we've got a brief chat about Bryson's new LA Golf irons and why he hasn't been quite able to settle into them just yet, as well as a Tested This Week on the return of Maxfli and the new XC2 irons - are they the real deal in the player's distance category?Ask The Pod is back this week with some of your brilliant correspondence and a question asking us to debunk whether taller (or shorter) golfers really need longer or shorter shafts, respectively. Finally, we delve into the bag of Sepp Straka. Already with two wins under his belt this year, he's part of a swathe of Srixon staffers playing very well this year. Which Srixon/Cleveland equipment has he been using to great effect this year?Get 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 Watch us in full on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KickPointGolf Hosted on Acast.

• Collin Morikawa's Clubs, Rory's Driver Chaos & Are Stamped Wedges Cool?

  This week, Dan's been hit by two golf balls and tells us about his rich vein of golfing form, Joe's been on a diet, and the lads catch up about why Rory has struggled to find his driving game again after his driving was deemed non-confirming ahead of the Canadian Open. The Cool Board is back with wedge stamping, bag rain covers and big letter hats under the microscope. And finally, we dive into the bag of Collin Morikawa. What exactly is it that makes his grips 'like putting your hands in a NutriBullet, according to Joe?

• Jimmy Bullard On His Love Of Golf Equipment, The Best Golf On YouTube & Why The Qi10 Fairway Wood Is So Good

  It's our birthday! Who'd have thought we'd have made it this far?! To celebrate, we're bringing to you what we have considered our most enjoyable interview to date with former Premier League and England footballer turned golf YouTuber Jimmy Bullard. Jimmy has never hidden the fact that he's a huge equipment geek, so we were very excited to have him on the show. Sat in the gardens of the Manor House is Castle Coombe, Joe and Jimmy cover everything from tapering on grips, swing weight vs total weight, Jimmy's club building cave and their theories behind why the Qi10 fairway wood has been so popular. But, before all of that, and to celebrate our first year, we take a trip down memory lane and highlight some of our favourite moments of the first year of Kick Point. You'll be hearing once again from the likes of Richard Bland, Ian Poulter and Wendy, while we also couldn't miss the chance to relive Joe's recent interactions with Bryson DeChambeau, either. If you're new here, welcome, and hopefully, these clips inspire you to head back into the archive. If you've been here since day one, a massive thank you from Dan, Joe and the team for supporting us in our first year! Here's to an even bigger and better year two!

• Nick Dougherty's Favourite Golf Clubs, How To Properly Use Lead Tape & What Were Balata Golf Balls?

  Happy Friday, folks. Hope you're enjoying the US Open! To accompany your weekend of watching professional golfers hack it out of thick rough, we've put together 82 minutes of two 'professional' journalists trying to hack their way through an interview with former Tour pro and now broadcaster Nick Dougherty. Joe has some history with Nick from their junior days, and it's safe to say Joe was and is a big fan...perhaps too big. Once Joe stops fanboying at the start of our interview, Nick offers us some brilliant insights into the equipment he loved during his playing days, as well as some insights into the But before all of that, Joe takes us on a bit of a history and science lesson about Balata golf balls. What actually is Balata, and what was the moment in history when they started to fall out of favour?

• Bryson DeChambeau's 2020 US Open Winning Clubs, LA Golf Driver Full Review & Are Mini Drivers Cool?

  Happy Friday Kick Pointers (Joe's newly appointed name for our viewers and listeners). In this week's episode, Joe revisits one of the most notable and hotly anticipated driver releases of 2025 - Bryson Dechambeau's LA Golf Driver. A fascinating concept that involved different bulge and roll profiles depending on swing speed, Joe talks us through his thoughts on the product as well as the less-than-optimal online fitting service currently offered by LA Golf. Speaking of Bryson, our friends at Golf Clubs 4 Cash have kindly sponsored this week's WITB segment, where we dive deep into the bag for DeChambeau's dominant US Open win at Winged Foot in 2020. The Cool Board also returns, with mini drivers, AimPoint, and Castle Tees under consideration this week. There are also stories of recent holes in one (neither of which were for Dan or Joe) and Dan's dalliances with a daredevil pigeon - enjoy! Link to the Fujikura competition: https://www.fujikuragolf.com/battle-at-bethpageGet 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   Watch us in full on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KickPointGolfChapters: 0:00:00 Intro and nonsense 0:05:03 Hole-in-one news and stories0:11:56 LA Golf driver review0:32:07 The Cool Board - Mini Drivers, AimPoint & Castle Tees0:53:38 Fujikura giveaway!0:59:28 Bryson DeChambeau's 2020 US Open WITB Hosted on Acast.
