We've got carried away again on this week's bumper episode, so much so that I'm simply going to list the cacophony of upcoming content in bullet point form:

• We've got merch (sort of)
• Joe's been playing golf with clubs from the dump
• McLaren Golf is here! How much are they charging us, and is the product actually any good?
• Joe delves into his favourite 'maintenance' training aids, the sort of devices that keep your game in check over the season
• Ask The Pod - all your comments and questions
• Freddy Schott joins us for a detailed What's In The Bag chat

Phew. Don't say we don't churn it out here at Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show. You might want to enjoy this episode in multiple sittings. Bon apetit!

Joe's away this week, so what better time than to welcome back Sam De'Ath (a.k.a Sweaty Sam) to chew the fat on all the equipment he's been busy testing over the last six months. Sam looks after the putter, golf ball and fairway wood categories for Golf Monthly, and it is the putter where we spend most of our time this week.

To assess whether the zero-torque putter trend is just getting going or starting to fade away, Sam has brought in some of the finest examples of this subcategory into the studio with him. From the new, more affordable options from Wilson to the new Asner-style option from L.A.B. Golf, can the zero torque putter be a catch-all putter for the average golfer? If zero torque isn't your thing, don't worry, Sam has his analysis on the latest Sausage putter, something new (and confusing) from TaylorMade, as well as Odyssey's latest lineup.

We also have some of your excellent Ask The Pod questions surrounding Sam's other area of expertise, fairway woods. With so many lofts now available, how many fairway woods is too many fairway woods for the average golfer?

Thank you again to our sponsors, Fujikura. After the Masters last Sunday, that is now 5 major wins in a row for Fujikura! Fujikura's streak of major championship winners trusting a VENTUS shaft in their driver continues. All 4 major champions last year won with a Fujikura VENTUS shaft in their driver - the first time ANY company has done this. Today, is the first day the completely new VENTUS TR shaft collection is available (in Red, Blue and Black profiles) - and we have already seen the new TR Blue and Black on tour with a handful of players making an immediate switch. The new VENTUS TR collection has been upgraded with VeloCore+ technology, offering enhanced feel and stability. Now there are even more options to get the perfect with the tour- trusted VENTUS shafts. Head over to fujikuragolf.com to find a fitting location near you to try the new TR VENTUS collection and most trusted driver and wood shaft on tour for yourself.

In this week's episode, Dan and Baz discuss Matt Fitzpatrick's impressive RBC Heritage playoff victory over Scottie Scheffler, the 'sneaky' form of Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland's turbulence, the state of play with LIV Golf and look ahead towards the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

This episode will be the last Tour Issue hosted on the Kick Point show, with an exciting rebrand coming from Monday 27th March with the launch of Golf Monthly Tour Issue. Don't worry though, it's not all change. Baz will be co-hosting the new show in partnership with our incredibly knowledgable news team - discussing everything you need to know about professional golf with Elliott Heath, Jonny Leighfield or Matt Cradock every single Monday.

For those of you who love tour golf, have opinions on the happenings each weekend and want to hear the thoughts of an expert panel on the best bets for any given week - head over to Golf Monthly Tour Issue... Baz will see you there!
