TG2: Stacks of Kuchar jokes | What irons would you have reissued?
Danny Lee has some SWEET Mizuno MP-32 in the bag and it makes us ask the question, “What irons would you want reissued?” But before that we have to make a bunch jokes about the Matt Kuchar/El Tucan situation.

Tour Edge Exotics mini driver review + TaylorMade Spider ZT Max first look – Club Junkie
On this episode of Club Junkie, I put the new Tour Edge Exotics Mini Driver to the test and break down the performance, forgiveness, distance, and where it fits compared to a traditional driver or strong fairway wood. If you have been curious about adding a mini driver to the bag, this one is worth a look.
I also dive into the new TaylorMade Spider ZT Max putter that was recently spotted and discuss the growing zero torque putter trend. Plus, there is a closer look at the new Project X Titan Yellow shaft showing up on the PGA Tour and what makes it different from other profiles currently out there.

Club Junkie: Ping i540 irons review + L.A.B. VZN.1i putters and Graphite Design shaft sightings
On this episode of Club Junkie, I dive into the brand-new Ping i540 irons and talk about where they fit in the lineup, their performance on the course, and who I think they are really made for. There is a lot to love — and maybe one complaint in the new i540 irons.
The show also covers the new L.A.B. VZN.1i putters that have started showing up, plus some new Graphite Design Tour AD shafts spotted out on the PGA Tour and what makes them interesting. Wrapping things up, I might swap a few shafts into some putters and talk through how those changes might completely alter feel and performance.

On this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, I head to the Titleist Performance Institute for a full driver fitting with the new Titleist GTS lineup. We dive into the fitting process, talk about what made the biggest difference in performance, and break down how the different GTS heads and shaft combinations compare on the launch monitor. If you are thinking about a new driver setup for this season, there is a lot to take away from this one.
I also get into Brooks Koepka and the gear setup he brought to the PGA Championship, including the putters that caught my eye during the week. There are some interesting equipment trends showing up at the highest level right now and we break down what stands out.
To wrap things up, I talk about reshafting a few wedges, what I learned during the process, and swapping an adaptor onto a new shaft for another build project in the shop. A gear packed episode from start to finish for anyone who loves golf equipment and club building.

Disappointed in Kuch. Comes across as a really nice guy then turns out to be an asshole. His snub of Andrew Coltart on the practice ground was shocking – reminded me of that guy in every golf club who thinks he’s better than everyone else simply because his golf game’s better. Fuck him – I’m rescinding that offer I extended to him of tea and crumpets at my Gran’s house.
As for the irons what irons I’d love to see reissued – the Diawa Advisor DG273 blades and the Cleveland Ta5 gunmetals.

I was a great comment when he said he paid him well and hasn’t lost any sleep over it. Now there is the REAL Kucher, Sad with that goofy smile and his aw shucks attitude he appears to be nothing but a phony. Then after it comes out how bad it was he offered another 15 grand, what a jerk. I know these guys are independent contractors but the tour should have a minimum amount for a guy that plus along behind some rich Clown with a 40 lb. bag on his shoulder.

Sorry guys, I’ve only made 46 million in my career. I gave my caddy enough for his “hard” work. He didn’t even read greens for me. My buddy Tiger taught me how to be this cheap. Just to recap for you newbs, Tiger did not even pay for his “date’s” meal at Perkins one of those hundreds of times he cheated on Elin. Even I would have shelled out an extra 3 bucks for my caddy and I to catch a bite at Mcdonalds!
Kuch is dumb

Me makes a deal with a caddy that is not his own, they agree on the deal and the caddie has sour grapes after he agreed to the deal and got paid a little more than they agreed on….and Kuchar is scum? LOL.

Why is this answer not right? Or is it like any athlete’s “contract” that it’s only good until one party feels slighted?
