Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin Kraft's Top Golf Clubs of 2026 + Augusta Recap
Q: First Cut asked about wedges and lofts pairing with ZXI-5 irons and how to load wedges with shafts—what are your thoughts on wedge gaps and shaft selections for a well-balanced setup?
With ZXI-5, consider four-to-five degree gap steps, typically 50/54/58/60 degrees, possibly bending the 50 to 49 degrees; use softer shafts on the scoring wedges to enhance feel while maintaining ball speed, and ensure shafts support the player's typical attack and wedge usage.
Kevin Kraft's Top Golf Clubs of 2026 + Augusta Recap
Q: David Coe in Columbia, Cobra Dark Speed/DS Adapt performance—how have those clubs performed in fittings over the last couple of years?
Dark Speed models, especially the LS, performed very well for players needing to reduce spin, while the DS Adapt line offers substantial adjustability, making it easy to tailor weight position and setup to individual swings.
Best Fairway Woods, Hybrids & Utility Irons | 2nd Swing Fitters Choice 2026
Q: What surprised you most about the 2026 fittest choice lineup?
The consensus among fitters was that the final choices—Qi40 Tour for low spin fairways, G440 Max for core models, G440 Sft for draw bias, and ZXi U utility—were exactly what they'd picked individually, showing strong alignment across stores and reinforcing the value of hands-on fittings.
Fitters Choice BEST IRONS of 2026 + Gary Woodland's Big Win
Q: Would I see a significant difference if I purchased the Quantum 7-wood with the same specs as my AI Smoke 7-wood?
The guest suggested the Quantum 7-wood launches a bit higher and can be slightly faster, but not a dramatic difference; testing and fitting are emphasized to confirm the best match for individual launch and speed.
Best Drivers, Mini Drivers & Premium Shafts | Fitters Choice 2026
Q: Do driver head weights and adjustable weights affect carry distance or mainly mishits?
Carry distance is driven mainly by swing speed and center-face contact, but head weights and adjustability influence mishits and stability, which in turn affect consistent carry and dispersion.
