Joe's on a crusade again this week, folks. He looks at the game of golf like no man on earth. Caddies? Why do we have them? Loft on drivers? Why is it always incorrect? Now, alignment aids on golf balls are in the firing line. Why do we allow golfers to mark precise lines on their golf balls to help them aim? Surely this is part of the skill? We debate this, and much, much more, this week.

After that, we've got some of your recent comments and Ask The Pods and to round off this week, we've got another cracking interview, looking in depth at the equipment of Min Woo Lee. We welcome back now friend of the show, Kellen Watson, Callaway Tour Rep and fitter for Min Woo Lee. Much like the Jon Rahm interview two weeks ago, expect an in-depth analysis of the chef's love of the Callaway Apex UW and why he uses Kangaroo leather grips. Enjoy!

Another jam-packed episode this week, if a little shorter than last week's feature-length chow down. Firstly, we're putting the latest players' distance iron to hit the shelves up against the GOAT of the category. Can the Ping i540 come close to knocking the TaylorMade P790 off its perch? We've got some of your excellent questions to get through too, as one listener wants to know if he can raw his own irons by taking the protective coating off. Based on Joe's answer, let's hope he hasn't pulled the trigger on that process yet...

After all of that, we're welcoming (for the second time) one of our favourite people in the industry, Christina Kim, onto the show. After she popped up for a quick Ask The Pod in an episode a few weeks ago, we thought it best to sit her down for a proper interview. It's a wide-ranging chat where we take a quick peek at her equipment, compare the equipment used by female professionals to that of male amateurs, analyse dropping the equipment ego, and dive into the reasons why she thinks both men's and women's European teams have created better atmospheres at Ryder and Solheim Cups in recent years. Expect plenty of innuendo and plenty of bleeping...Enjoy!

Cameron Young, take a bow! The American battled bravely to claim the biggest win of his career so far at The Players Championship 2026 and, as a result, a well-earned place in the history books. His performance down the closing stretch was not only sublime but also record-breaking as he hit a whopping 375-yard drive, the longest on record in the Shot Link era on that hole. In this episode, we cover Ludvig Aberg's 'hard to watch' capitulation at the turn, Matt Fitzpatrick's gutsy charge in the final round and discuss why we love the challenge posed by the 6th tee at TPC Sawgrass.

We also have some really interesting gear insights from Joe, who analyses aspects of Cameron Young's bag, plus also looking ahead to the coming weeks for the biggest names in the game like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. With the Valspar Championship coming next, both Baz and Joe make their predictions for who will win at the treacherously tough Copperhead Course and offer insights into what it will take to contend on the PGA Tour this week.
