BC just likes to hear himself. A good reason why they have a mute button. Too bad the good old days are long gone. On the Golf Channel they all think of themselves as experts. They are not. Just opinionated to the point of making us puke. Give me Ken Venturi all day long.

BC has to explain why he thinks Tiger can win another major…he was wrong! Just like most of the time and most of the analysts with a chip on their shoulder. Is there a shortage of golf analysts in Golfland???

  He is not there to analyze, really. Come on. All of the commentators on TV in any shape or form, are there just to fill the air time with chit chat. They are just mouth boxes, not really saying anything substantial, factual or properly analytical. You shouldn’t take any of them seriously, in any sport. They’re just fodder. Nothing more.

BC is a talking head… I don’t even think he agrees with himself most of the time…

He only managed to hack it round Scotscraig in one under – I do that most weekends. Chopper opinions.

I just don’t respect most of Brambel Ramblee opinions.

On this episode of Club Junkie, I put the new Tour Edge Exotics Mini Driver to the test and break down the performance, forgiveness, distance, and where it fits compared to a traditional driver or strong fairway wood. If you have been curious about adding a mini driver to the bag, this one is worth a look.

I also dive into the new TaylorMade Spider ZT Max putter that was recently spotted and discuss the growing zero torque putter trend. Plus, there is a closer look at the new Project X Titan Yellow shaft showing up on the PGA Tour and what makes it different from other profiles currently out there.

On this episode of Club Junkie, I dive into the brand-new Ping i540 irons and talk about where they fit in the lineup, their performance on the course, and who I think they are really made for. There is a lot to love — and maybe one complaint in the new i540 irons.

The show also covers the new L.A.B. VZN.1i putters that have started showing up, plus some new Graphite Design Tour AD shafts spotted out on the PGA Tour and what makes them interesting. Wrapping things up, I might swap a few shafts into some putters and talk through how those changes might completely alter feel and performance.
