Episode Notes
It's the final episode of our US Tour! This week, we're in Phoenix, Arizona, taking a peek behind the curtain at Ping's HQ. We've got insights into the brand's new proprietary shaft lab, its unique production line, and its state-of-the-art putter fitting centre. Joe was also fitted on the Proving Grounds for the new i240 and iDi driving iron - we've got our first impressions of both. Finally, we're joined by Ping PGA Tour Rep Kenton Oates as we dive into the equipment of Viktor Hovland. Kenton has been working with Viktor since he left college in 2019, and gave us a superb insight into the bag of one of the most clued-up equipment guys on the Tour.
We've got one more special coming up next week (where we grade every equipment manufacturer's year so far) before we're back in the studio for our regularly scheduled programming. We hope you've enjoyed our run of specials from the US over the last few weeks, and as always, we're open to any feedback on the show - we love to hear from you!
