Tour Edge Exotics mini driver review + TaylorMade Spider ZT Max first look – Club Junkie
On this episode of Club Junkie, I put the new Tour Edge Exotics Mini Driver to the test and break down the performance, forgiveness, distance, and where it fits compared to a traditional driver or strong fairway wood. If you have been curious about adding a mini driver to the bag, this one is worth a look.
I also dive into the new TaylorMade Spider ZT Max putter that was recently spotted and discuss the growing zero torque putter trend. Plus, there is a closer look at the new Project X Titan Yellow shaft showing up on the PGA Tour and what makes it different from other profiles currently out there.

Club Junkie: Ping i540 irons review + L.A.B. VZN.1i putters and Graphite Design shaft sightings
On this episode of Club Junkie, I dive into the brand-new Ping i540 irons and talk about where they fit in the lineup, their performance on the course, and who I think they are really made for. There is a lot to love — and maybe one complaint in the new i540 irons.
The show also covers the new L.A.B. VZN.1i putters that have started showing up, plus some new Graphite Design Tour AD shafts spotted out on the PGA Tour and what makes them interesting. Wrapping things up, I might swap a few shafts into some putters and talk through how those changes might completely alter feel and performance.

On this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, I head to the Titleist Performance Institute for a full driver fitting with the new Titleist GTS lineup. We dive into the fitting process, talk about what made the biggest difference in performance, and break down how the different GTS heads and shaft combinations compare on the launch monitor. If you are thinking about a new driver setup for this season, there is a lot to take away from this one.
I also get into Brooks Koepka and the gear setup he brought to the PGA Championship, including the putters that caught my eye during the week. There are some interesting equipment trends showing up at the highest level right now and we break down what stands out.
To wrap things up, I talk about reshafting a few wedges, what I learned during the process, and swapping an adaptor onto a new shaft for another build project in the shop. A gear packed episode from start to finish for anyone who loves golf equipment and club building.

Seriously the laziness of these audio only contributions are crippling – half of your content no one listens to because you have to have a controlled quiet environment for 15-20 min! Please be journalists and provide manuscripts for your interviews!!!! Posting audio only does not count!

Yes, not to mention there are deaf readers on this site, I am one of them and I get pissed off when they post podcasts instead of articles, it’s downright discriminatory to not provide transcripts for us deaf golfers.

If it’s discriminatory not to post a transcript for deaf readers, wouldn’t it also be discriminatory for them to not post a video for every single article for all the illiterate visitors to the site? What about the Italian visitors who don’t understand or read English?

People have to be rational and smart to go to the golf course, it’s not like every golfer can’t read anything but the numbesr on their scorecards, your logic is pretty sound there (sarcasm). It costs less than $1 per minute to hire professionals to transcribe online and GolfWRX is based in the US, they don’t have to appeal to foreign golfers who don’t understand a word of English. But there are more than thousands of deaf golfers in the US, not to mention the old golfers with debilitating hearing due to old age, that’s more than a quarter of the US golf population right there!
