• Best Hybrids Of 2025 & Lie Angles On Wedges Explained!

  Thanks for all your well wishes to the injured Joe The Pro last week! He'll be back (no pun intended) better than ever next week. So, given his stunning debut performance last week, Sam De’Ath returns to spread knowledge and wisdom about hybrids for the new golf season. We ask whether the club is falling out of fashion on Tour; why we think the average golfer should be using more of them and Sam runs through which of the latest releases are the best for you. We also get technical with wedges and answer the question - 'should people have their wedges bent flatter than their irons?'

• The Best Fairway Woods Of 2025 & Fixing Your Equipment Woes!

  We have an injured soldier this week. Despite looking like he's in his late 20s, Joe is decaying at the standard rate for someone in their early 40s, and as such suffered a back injury in the lead-up to this week's show. Luckily, we have a super sub waiting in the wings.  So, for the first time, we welcome fellow Golf Monthly equipment tester Sam De'Ath onto the show. We've mentioned Sam in passing on many episodes as our chief fairway wood and hybrids tester amongst other things. So, with Sam on this week, we thought it made sense to take a deep dive into the latest fairway woods on offer. We break down this large category by looking at the most forgiving options, best for sound & feel and best for distance before crowning our overall winner. Of course, there's also an Ask The Pod and this week we help a listener from Down Under with a query about his muddled bag set-up.

The world number six joined us back in October last year to chat about his relationship with relatively new sponsor Titleist and his close relationship with Adidas golf. Before all that we've got in-depth reviews of the gorgeous new Mizuno Pro S3 and JPX925 Forged irons and a full round-up of the Wilson Dynapower family of drivers, fairways and hybrids.  Check out our full reviews of all the equipment mentioned in this week's episode here:  https://www.golfmonthly.com/reviews

• Behind The Scenes At TGL & The PGA Show! Our Bumper Week In Florida

  It's our first every 'emergency' episode! Of course, there's no such thing as a real emergency when you're running a golf equipment podcast, but a busy week for Dan in Florida meant we had to sit down for a catch-up. Because of that, we're on our laptops today and no in the studio - so we apologise in advance for the less-than-perfect sound quality we usually pride ourselves on.  So, coming up this week, we've got all of the down low on what it's like to be inside the TGL arena and a behind-the-scenes look at all of the best (and worst) equipment we saw at the PGA Show. Why does TGL insist on using a Full Swing Kit as its launch monitor? Do players change their equipment to play TGL? And are Cobra bringing our favourite iron to the masses in 2025? All of this and more are answered this week. Enjoy!

• Srixon ZXi Drivers Review! This Year's Hidden Gem?

  0:00 Intro waffle  2:55 Srixon ZXi drivers: What are they all about?  7:04 ZXi driver technology 10:22 ZXi looks 16:30 ZXi drivers summary  17:22 Srixon ZXi drivers review 23:47 Sirxon ZXi fairways & hybrids review 26:11 Srixon ZXi utility iron review 33:26 Srixon ZXi7 iron review 38:39 Srixon ZXi5 iron review 45:06 Srixon ZXi4 iron review 49:30 Ask The Pod - Best driver set up for slower swing speed golfer... While the Big Five have announced their driver range for 2025, there is still a big and largely underrated brand we have yet to discuss: Srixon. Its new ZXi range is huge and includes three drivers, a fairway wood, a hybrid, a utility iron and three new irons. We get stuck into the depths of the new range and try to work out why Srixon doesn't pull the weight it should in the golf game.  There's also a very in-depth Ask The Pod this week focussing on the options for a golfer whose swing speed is sub 90mph, focussing on the shaft and fitting options available.
