Happy Friday Kick Pointers (Joe's newly appointed name for our viewers and listeners). In this week's episode, Joe revisits one of the most notable and hotly anticipated driver releases of 2025 - Bryson Dechambeau's LA Golf Driver. A fascinating concept that involved different bulge and roll profiles depending on swing speed, Joe talks us through his thoughts on the product as well as the less-than-optimal online fitting service currently offered by LA Golf.
Speaking of Bryson, our friends at Golf Clubs 4 Cash have kindly sponsored this week's WITB segment, where we dive deep into the bag for DeChambeau's dominant US Open win at Winged Foot in 2020. The Cool Board also returns, with mini drivers, AimPoint, and Castle Tees under consideration this week. There are also stories of recent holes in one (neither of which were for Dan or Joe) and Dan's dalliances with a daredevil pigeon - enjoy!
