Club Junkie: Ping G440 K Driver Review! New Scotty Cameron Putters at The Genesis!

What are the best fairway woods of 2026? Well GolfWRX just published their Best Fairway Woods list for this year and I break down who made it and a few who didn't on the show. Out at the Valero Texas Open there are some very interesting putters in some bags being tested. We have to jump in and talk about a few that stood out from Hideki, Marco, and Grillo with some special sauce! Finally, there isn't a ton on the workshop bench this week but it looks like I am going to have to reshaft my brother's set as the heads are flying off!

In Episode #46, the guys chat with friend of FLoG, Billy Nachman. Billy was one of the early believers in our show, and we are very grateful for that. Billy isn’t just a sponsor though, he’s a genuinely fun guy and someone we have enjoyed getting to know. His journey and business acumen is both helpful and fun to hear about. Criquet does things a little different and is carving their own path in the golf apparel world, which allows them to stand out. We hope you will enjoy learning more about building a brand, especially one that we are so close with.

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we take a deep dive into the new LAB Golf Link 2.2 putter and explore what makes it one of the most talked about zero torque designs in the game. From its unique construction to the feel and performance on the greens, we break down everything you need to know about how the Link 2.2 stacks up against other premium putters and who it is best suited for. We also sit down with Wilson Golf’s Markus McCaine for an inside look at the brand’s latest equipment, innovation process, and what is coming next from Wilson. Markus shares insights into product development, fitting trends, and how Wilson continues to push performance forward for golfers of all skill levels.

In Episode 45, the guys chat with friend of the pod, Josh Stueve. Josh’s career has spanned quite an array of experiences from his time in the U.S. Marines, to becoming Editor in Chief of Carolinas Golf Magazine...oh yeah, how about stops as the Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Attorney’s office (Eastern District of Virginia), and spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice? Josh’s career is certainly worthy of a podcast episode and we hope you enjoy!

There are a lot of hot drivers out in the market this week and the new TaylorMade Qi4D has a ton of buzz going. I put the Qi4D up against its low spin Qi4D LS sibling to see how they are different. There are some really cool new putters floating around the Valspar this week and I have to break them down. Finally we run through what clubs are on the workbench for some tweaks.

This was for the Head Professional at the Windermere seeking more speed.

For those of you that don’t know the name Eric Wind...it’s worth a Google. Eric is one of the world’s foremost experts in watches and is also a certified golf aficionado. In our Hank Aaron episode, we do admittedly go a bit off script and talk a lot about watches, but there is also some fun golf tie-in as well. Eric is a fun guy to chat with and super knowledgeable, and we hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did!

Smashing success. Our work continues.

Time to review the hottest irons from Wilson Golf! This year Wilson is giving us 3 brand new Staff Model irons with one, the XB, being brand new to the lineup. Wilson's Staff Model XB is a new hollow body design that gives golfers distance, forgivness, and great feel in a players size. The Staff Model CB and MB irons have been updated for 2026 with a new satin finish for less glare and refined shapes for optimal CG placement and classic looks from address.

In Episode 43, the guys chat Drew Page, Player Relations Rep for Scotty Cameron on the PGA Tour. Drew gives us some great insight on life traveling with the Tour, new wands in the bags of some of the big names and even a peak into his own collection. We hope you enjoy!
