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.

The podcast is an HOUR long? Geez…would love to know the salient points but if they are trying to reach a broad audience they are using the wrong medium.

I agree with the other comments. You’ve kind of missed the boat on podcasts, that ship has well and truly sailed. Either use video or print media, because I can’t imagine many people are going to sit and listen to people ramble on over an hour long podcast.

I happen to love podcasts. I listen to them while I do yard work, while I do work around the house, while I drive, really about anytime I used to listen to music. Podcasts are not about reaching the larger market, they are about giving someone the option to consume content in another way. I can’t do video if I’m doing something else, but I can listen to podcast while doing other things.

Indeed, Podcasts are for a select few. If you want to reach a broader audience, PRINT is still the way to go. I don’t do Podcats.

It still annoys me to see Callaway misusing the Apex name. Apex clubs are Hogan, and Hogan produced/produces clubs of a quality Callaway can never hope to achieve. Callaway obviously have forgotten the old saying: If the club i beautiful, I can play it – if ugly, I won’t touch the thingy.
I’ve played Hogans for nigh on 40 years, and I rather play old Apex or Edge than a modern forestry tool.

I played Hogan clubs as my first set of ‘real’ clubs and loved them. I now play Callaway Apex MB and XForged. I will tell you, they are of a higher quality now than the current Hogans. And as a lefty, Hogan has very few offerings. I will stick with my Callaways.s
