Shane and Marty do an amazing job of bringing us behind the scenes at PING with deep dives into technology and the process of innovation at PING. Amazing access to PING’s tour staff is just another reason this is my new favorite golf pod! Keep it up!

I’ve gamed a Ping O Blade for years!
A podcast on how those original bronze putters were made would be so awesome. When you polish them there isn’t a nicer top line of a putter made.
I did the instrumented mountain bike in MEL lab too! I got a chuckle when Marty talked about it!
