Available now, exclusively online & instore at American Golf - the UK's number one golf retailer.What are the best of the best golf equipment releases in 2026? We aimed to answer this by building our dream bag with one caveat: a brand can only be used once. Which brands did we opt for in each segment of the bag? Also, this week, more golf ball roll back debate: why isn't this being tested in full view of the public? Why is there so little specialist junior equipment, and more arguments for and against banning alignment on golf balls?

Massive thanks to Under Armour for sponsoring this week's episode. The new Drive Pro Clone and Drive Pro Clone SL golf shoes are on sale now.Joe's away this week, so what better time than to welcome back Sam De'Ath (a.k.a Sweaty Sam) to chew the fat on all the equipment he's been busy testing over the last six months. Sam looks after the putter, golf ball and fairway wood categories for Golf Monthly, and it is the putter where we spend most of our time this week.To assess whether the zero-torque putter trend is just getting going or starting to fade away, Sam has brought in some of the finest examples of this subcategory into the studio with him. From the new, more affordable options from Wilson to the new Asner-style option from L.A.B. Golf, can the zero torque putter be a catch-all putter for the average golfer? If zero torque isn't your thing, don't worry, Sam has his analysis on the latest Sausage putter, something new (and confusing) from TaylorMade, as well as Odyssey's latest lineup.We also have some of your excellent Ask The Pod questions surrounding Sam's other area of expertise, fairway woods. With so many lofts now available, how many fairway woods is too many fairway woods for the average golfer?Watch us in FULL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KickPointGolfGet in touch with Dan and Joe and 'Ask The Pod' via our email: kickpointpodcast@futurenet.comSign up for the weekly Kick Point newsletter, released every Friday: https://www.golfmonthly.com/newsletter Get three issues of the Golf Monthly magazine delivered to your door for just £5 at https://www.magazinesdirect.com/kickpoint Hosted on Acast.
