Massive thanks to Titleist, the number one ball in golf, for sponsoring this week's episode. Titleist is the most played ball at the U.S. Open for 78 straight years and still counting. Visit titleist.com to find out which Titleist golf ball is best for your game.

We were a camera crew down this week, so please forgive our slightly worse audio quality! Despite the chaos, we've got a great episode for you this week. Joe rants about pretty much everything in the equipment world that annoys him (Why are fairway woods odd numbers? Why are flagsticks different from club to club? Why are wedge lofts all even numbers? You get the idea...), we investigate the decorated and quirky equipment history of Berhard Langer, and Justin Thomas is the subject of this week's What's In The Bag! All of that, plus your questions and comments for another hour (or more) of golf equipment chat - enjoy!
