Massive thanks to Titleist and the new Vokey Design SM11 wedge for sponsoring this week's episode!Happy Friday, folks! We're still in the thick of launch season, and this week our focus turns to Cobra.

Elsewhere, Joe's gone big early in his declarations this year with his iron testing, but which brand has created what he has dubbed 'the best iron of 2026'?It's not all about new launches, however, as we've also got a stack of your brilliant questions to get through. This week, we've got tips on picking a putter if you're a higher handicapper (spoiler: mallets), driver adapter tips and tricks and debate why and when Ludvig Aberg might finally switch out of his Anser-style putter.
