Brooks unfiltered makes for good discussion.

Equipment Questions Grab Bag
When club release season comes around, everyone wonders how much better their games could be with new clubs. But other golf equipment can make a big difference in your game. In this episode, Mark and Lou discuss some of the less trumpeted equipment choices that change how you play. How important is the ball you're using?
