Please timestamp some of the points in the podcast. It is hard to carve an hour to listen to this.

One of the hardest feeling Mizuno irons ever produced. I had these in the bag for 3 weeks until I went back to my mp4’s. You can’t even believe they are made by Mizuno…or forged, even.

  I totally concur. Vijay’s caddie said Vijay dumped them due to feel. Just wasn’t there.
  
  I tried to love them. Didn’t even LIKE them a little. Too bad because they look great at address.

  Be nice to know what irons you’re referring to here. You offer no context so the comment is meaningless.

    Fairly obvious since 90% of the content in the podcast is about brooks irons and the photo above. JPX 900 Tour.
    
    And if they feel hard with proV1. They are hard. Fairly common complaint about the tours from guys used to MP.

Please in the future if you could time stamp the podcast, I’d really appreciate it. It’s hard to dedicate an hour to listen to the entire Podcast.

A putter that I love and hate – Club Junkie Podcast

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it. If you are into feel, alignment, and consistency, this is one you will want to hear about.

We also take a look at some of the putters in play on the PGA Tour last week. From familiar favorites to a few surprising setups, there is always something to learn from what the best players in the world are rolling with under pressure.

To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.

I break down my first top 10 zero-torque putter rankings for 2026. From the biggest names in the category to a few under-the-radar surprises, I dive into what makes each of these putters stand out and how they performed. I have used every one of these putters on the list, both in practice and on the course.

Talk about feel, consistency, forgiveness, and of course, whether zero-torque technology actually delivers on its promise to help you start more putts on line. If you have been curious about making the switch or just want to know which models are leading the pack this year, this episode has you covered.

Did your favorite putter make the list?
