| 10/14/26 | Should you play a hybrid? | The top of many golfers' bags can be a bit of a guessing game, and the emergence of high-lofted fairway woods has only added more variables to the mix. So, should you play an 18-degree fairway wood or an 18-degree hybrid? JWall and Uncle Gene discuss based on some robot testing data. But first, we've been traveling to OEMs to get some sneak peeks at new products, plus Big Deal or No Big Deal is back and Gene has some fire answers. | 32m 30s | ||||||
| 10/1/26 | What's next for golf’s equipment rollback? | Uncle Gene is back from the Faroe Islands, which means it's time to break down the latest in golf's ball rollback saga. Our dynamic duo goes on to discuss more irons testing data from the Golf Laboratories swing robot, then plays another edition of 'Something or Nothing?' | 52m 44s | ||||||
| 9/23/26 | How consistent are 2026 irons? | Similar to our test of a decade of drivers, we put 2026 irons to the test on the Golf Laboratories to identify standouts in spin consistency. But first, a new segment, "Big Deal or No Deal," where Uncle Gene decides what silly season equipment changes are something and which are nothing. | 51m 25s | ||||||
| 9/16/26 | Brooks Koepka puts an old favorite back in the bag | Fall is affectionately known as golf's silly season. The FedEx Cup Playoffs have ended, there are a handful of PGA Tour events scattered about the calendar. It's the perfect time to try out a new club or two. Or, in Brooks Koepka's case, bring one back. Also on this week's pod, some more tidbits from our trip to Titleist's Manchester Lane facility, notes on Srixon's ZXi lineup, Charlie Woods' deal with TaylorMade and a deep dive on chasing distance with irons. | 1h 01m 30s | ||||||

| 7/1/26 | We put Titleist's GTS drivers to the test | Titleist made waves with its April release of its new GTS line of drivers. And there was a whole lot of hullabaloo around how much ball speed, and, in turn, distance pros were gaining. JWall and Uncle Gene finally got their hands on some drivers and put them to the test on the Golf Laboratories swing robot. Also, Viktor Hovland's driver change pays off and what's the deal with Damascus steel? | 53m 53s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | Some surprising super game improvement iron data | JWall and Uncle Gene are back from their respective vacations and we have lots of super game improvement iron robot data to discuss. But first, Wyndham Clark's Ping Scottsdale Tec putter carries him to his second U.S. Open title and the USGA delays its rollback plan. | 43m 32s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | Robotic iron analysis: Game Improvement Irons | Our summer robot analysis series continues with game improvement irons as JWall and Uncle Gene break down the data from the Golf Laboratories swing robot. | 29m 56s | ||||||
| 6/10/26 | How 2026 players distance irons performed with a robot | We put the hottest category in irons to the test on Golf Laboratories' swing robot, and the numbers were outstanding. JWall and Uncle Gene break it all down, and JWall learns the difference between negative and positive. | 34m 13s | ||||||
| 6/3/26 | We robot tested 2026 players irons | Robot testing is not just for drivers! JWall and Uncle Gene put the latest offerings in the players irons category to the test on the Golf Laboratories swing robot, and, well, it's time for Gene to eat some crow. | 26m 04s | ||||||
| 5/27/26 | What to know about irons, with Chris Marchini | Director of Golf Performance and Innovation at Dick's and Golf Galaxy Chris Marchini is back with JWall and Uncle Gene to answer your questions about irons, including what to look for in a fitting, how you know when it's time to get new irons and specific data points he uses to get the right clubs in players' hands. | 1h 03m 21s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | Why TaylorMade's Qi4D loft sleeve is so important | TaylorMade's newest driver, the Qi4D, is both lower launching and lower spinning than its Qi10 and Qi35 predecessors, but that only tells part of the story. JWall and Uncle Gene go in depth on what that actually means for ball flight and how adjusting the loft sleeve can make a big difference. But first, a surprise PGA Championship winner claims a major with some old equipment, TaylorMade moves to a two-year driver cycle and Bridgestone releases a black golf ball. | 48m 58s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | We tested a cult classic against a current driver | We put a cult classic driver up against its modern-day descendant on a swing robot and the results are in. But first, a smorgasbord of PGA Championship equipment notes, featuring Brooks Koepka's new putter, all 31 of Justin Rose's McLaren irons, Rickie Fowler's shortest driver of his career and a new L.A.B. Golf prototype putter appears. And would Cameron Young's golf ball actually conform under the proposed rollback rules? | 49m 54s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | Robot testing drivers at 105 mph | You asked. We answered. Robot testing on drivers at 105 mph results are in. But first, Tony Finau makes another putter change, Jordan Spieth does some more tinkering and switches to a ball you can play, while Cameron Young is playing one you cannot. | 55m 54s | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | Analyzing three iterations of Ping drivers | JWall and Uncle Gene dive into the robot data on three iterations of Ping drivers. But first, McLaren enters the golf club space, but can they have staying power without a driver. And Brooks Koepka is once again an equipment free agent. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 4/23/26 | Crunching the numbers on 3 years of Cobra drivers | The robot testing data is in on the last three years of Cobra drivers. But first, why Uncle Gene feels like he was beaten with a sack of quarters, and the return of the blade? | 44m 56s | ||||||
