Hello Kick Pointers, happy Easter to those who celebrate! This week's equipment round up comes to you a day early because of the holidays, but your usual Friday episode of Kick Point will be with you at the normal time tomorrow!

If you're like Joe The Pro and have a weird obsession with golf shafts, you'll love this week's episode - we have a great interview this week with Andrew Haong, Tour Rep for Fujikura as we learn all about the brand's plans for 2026 and debunk a few popular shaft myths that continue to float about the golf ether. We also pit two of the best golf irons of 2026 against each other - the Ping G740 and Cobra 3DP X irons, with Joe giving us his verdict on which is better suited for your game.
