    While I can usually tolerate Michael Williams’ ego-centric podcast (he only says his name about 20 times during the podcast; hey.. we KNOW IT’S YOU, okay?) this one takes the cake for sheer boredom. While plugging various venues where he knows he’ll be able to beg a freebie, Williams moves MILES from golf to wax poetic on the beauty of “shooting sports” and how they supposedly relate to golf. Man, what a stretch. I tried, I really did, but the relentlessly mundane discussion of clay pigeons, skeet and guns finally wore me down. I didn’t even get half-way through. Insomnia? Here’s your answer! Mr. Williams, if whittling down your listenership to less than a dozen is your ultimate goal, then by all means… more of the same.

A putter that I love and hate – Club Junkie Podcast

Published

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.
