Aren’t these designs already from last season? Where are the new designs? This is old news, right?
We don’t have any patience for old stuff here on WRX

Gotta admit, I was skeptical at first but their blades are definitely different, I like the idea of a blade with a wider sole. And every shaft option being the same price (even graphite) is pretty innovative. $200 / club is pretty palatable, all things considered. Might order 5 – pw. Kudos.

What we really need is for some more direct to consumer club companies (Hogan) , like Snell and Cut do golf balls…there is more then likely more then a few actual club makers in China that can supply quality heads for irons and woods….only a few weeks ago we read about Lynx Golf sore-sing a forged blade iron with their logo put on them…

Their logo looks like a modified version of the Miura Giken logo. Unoriginal af

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?
