Grading Every Equipment Brand's Year (So Far) & Henrik Stenson WITB Special

Episode 11

Thursday, August 29, 2024 • Duration 01:00:25

This week Dan and Joe are 'Live From LIV' with a bit of a different, but nonetheless jam-packed, episode of Kick Point. The lads were on site at JCB Golf & Country Club for the LIV UK event back in July and have lined up six WITB specials with some of the game's biggest names. This week, they're joined by Henrik Stenson who talks through his eclectic and somewhat aging bag of equipment. Yes, that iconic 3-wood is still in the bag but there's also some new nuggets and equipment tweaks the Ice Man is still making.

Before they chat to Henrik, Joe wanted to sit back and take stock of the year in equipment so far. Seeing as it was the summer holidays when they recorded this, Dan and Joe spend some time grading each of the major equipment manufacturers year so far. Who goes home to happy parents with their A grade and who has plenty to work on going into next year?

Akshay Bhatia's Clubs, The Origins Of Bryson's New Irons & A Watermelon Golf Bag

Episode 10

Thursday, August 22, 2024 • Duration 01:10:32

On this episode, Dan's in charge of Tested This Week with a new watermelon pattern bag from Ping and G/FORE's new G/18 shoes to show off in the studio. Meanwhile, Joe's been busy doing some investigative journalism and has been chatting to the founder of Avoda Golf, Tom Bailey. Avoda irons have been in the bag of one Bryson DeChambeau since this year's Masters, and Joe tells the story of how Avoda Golf came to be and how its relationship opened up with Bryson.

Finally, the WITB this week dives into the golf bag of Akshay Bhatia. While not the biggest name in the game (just yet), a quick look in his bag reveals what seems to be a real gear nerd and equipment tweaker. Joe takes a detailed look at some of the unique choices he's made including a draw bias driver and a Tour-only driver adapter.

Hovland's Clubs, The Half Price Pro V1s & Bounce Explained

Episode 9

Thursday, August 15, 2024 • Duration 01:15:37

Thanks for joining us for another episode of Kick Point! First, our Tested This Week comes in the shape of Seed golf balls, a direct-to-consumer golf ball brand now available in the UK and US that claims to offer balls that perform as well as the big brands best balls for half the price. Joe has been out on the golf course and with his Trackman to put these claims to the test...

Joe's explainer this week is something of a back to basics, but with a Kick Point twist, all about bounce. Joe talks through what bounce is, how we can use it to our advantage on course and asks why iron sets don't come with different bounce options.

Finally, this week's What's In The Bag is Viktor Hovland. The Norwegian has had a tough year on Tour after winning the FedEx last year - has he made any drastic equipment changes to try and help him out?

Åberg's Clubs, 3D Printing Explained & 'The Future Of Golf Club Manufacturing'

Episode 8

Thursday, August 8, 2024 • Duration 59:33

We're back in the studio this week after our recent trip to The Wisley. Joe has been out testing Cobra's new LIMIT3D iron, the first fully 3D printed iron to be available at retail. Cobra launched the irons with bold claims of 'blade looks' with 'game improvement forgiveness' and Joe's testing reveled some incredible findings.

It felt fitting after chatting about the LIMIT3D iron to delve into the wider relationship between golf club manufacturing and 3D printing. What exactly is it? What are the benefits of 3D printing when it comes to club manufacturing and prototyping? When will we see more of this? Finally, this week's WITB dives into the bag of Ludvig Åberg. The super Swede signed a deal with Titleist at the end of 2023, but his bag still holds a few secrets and pieces of Tour sauce well worth tuning in for.

Thursday, August 1, 2024 • Duration 01:02:31

This week, we welcome our first ever guest onto Kick Point - Richard Bland. We spoke to Richard at his home club The Wisley the week after he won the Senior PGA Championship in Michigan. With very mixed bag, this episode is a really interesting dive into a fellow equipment nerd's bag.

After we spoke to him, Cleeks GC went on to win its first team event at LIV Houston and Richard went on to win the US Senior Open, so we'll consider this appearance Kick Point's first podcast bump! Hope you enjoy this special (we've got plenty of guests lined up to join us very soon) and we'll be back next week with our usual format back in the studio.

Fitzpatrick's Clubs, Best Launch Monitors (For All Budgets) & Shaft Puring Explained

Episode 5

Thursday, July 18, 2024 • Duration 01:04:53

Joe has been busy testing launch monitors over the last few months, so we thought we'd start this episode by getting him to talk through the key differences camera and radar based systems, while also giving his verdict on launch monitors from right across the price spectrum - what would Joe recommend going for if we was building his very own home simulator? After that, he gets stuck into what Dan thinks is the most interesting explainer to date - shaft puring (stick with it!)

After a quick stop at the JCB Golf & Country Club halfway hut, our What's In The Bag this week is Matt Fitzpatrick, one of the most meticulous minds in the game of golf with a similarly intricate bag set up.
