- Fix the audio
This is the quietest podcast on my feed. I have to turn it up almost all the way to listen on certain devices, and even then, it sounds like Jonathan Wall is whispering while I can hear Gene’s every breath. Very annoying.

Some interesting content about gear, but peppered with very dumb comments and weird assertions about tour pros that are usually very off base and purely speculative.

Canada3 months ago - Awful Audio
Big fan of the analysis provided by Jonathan Wall, Uncle Gene, and the robot club testing data. Unfortunately, they imported the audio issues from the previous podcast at Golf.com. Gain is always either too low or too high. This stuff isn’t that hard to get right—do us all a favor and figure it out!
Also, just skip the episode if you’re going to record from the road. The delays make it unlistenable and although I appreciate the latest tour happenings, the frequency of this podcast is already sp... more

Ever since you left Golf.com the audio sucks. I have to turn the volume up to the max to even hear JWall who sounds like he’s 10 feet from the mic. This week’s episode JWall mumbled so quiet I gave up listening after 10 mins so I got no idea what they even talked about. Fix your audio.
