About this episode

The episode discusses golf equipment, including a one-club challenge, new wedge designs, and marketing issues in the golf shaft industry.

This week we're back with a full hour (or more) of golf equipment chat after our more abridged episode last Friday. First and foremost, we couldn't help but chat about our most recent YouTube video, our one-club vs 14-club challenge that is now live! Spoiler alert: if you haven't watched the video already, we cover the trials and tribulations of our challenge in some detail this week. You can watch it here if you want to see the epic match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9jJHt17-MQ Later, we showcase a beautiful new collaboration between Joe Ferguson's very own mind and the team at National Custom Works, who have collaborated to design what Joe thinks might be the perfect wedge. Speaking of wedges, we've got our opinion on two of the latest wedges to hit the market and the contrasting styles of the traditional Roger Cleveland legacy drop and the performance-optimised layout of the new TaylorMade Hi-Toe 5 wedges. Our main debate this week centres on Mitsubishi's aim to debunk the industry's issue with marketing golf shafts. Has shaft marketing been wrong this whole time? Finally, we take a look at some of your best Vibesman bags in a Vibesman special of Ask The Pod - enjoy…
