I’ve been in the business for a couple decades and have never met a nicer guy. One of Oceanside’s finest! I find it very refreshing hearing stories from the younger generation of golf enthusiasts. Im also quite positive if you take the time to tell Jacob about your wedge shot patterns he is a going to not only make your wedge shine but make you a better player. He’s the real deal.

All of the voices in the anti-Kavanagh demonstrations were women voices…. older and younger millennial man-hating man-bashing feminists marching, screaming, demonstrating against the rule of law. Men are silent, hiding, frightened. These crazed women hate old white men… their fathers. Hide on the golf course, cowards.

    Bruce seems to think,(using that term loosely), rather than join women protesting a child molesting, drunk for Supreme Court
    many men hide on the golf course, with their wedge by their side.

Guys talk about wanting “Tour Quality” pieces and getting to see the real craftsmen behind them. This guy is learning, but is miles behind talents liike Aaron Dill, Rusty Estes and a couple others. What? Those names aren’t familiar? That is because they were not built overnight on social media, with pretty pictures and fluff. Rusty is the REAL man behind Fourteen Tour clubs and works his butt off in an independent tour van. Aaron is someone who impressed Mr Vokey enough in a very short time, that Bob knew, “this is the guy!” You’ve managed a second fluff piece on a personality built on pretty pictures and social media prowess. Congratulations.

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?
