    They moved!
    The guys you’re looking for are now hosting the Golf IQ podcast for Golf Digest. I started listening to Fully Equipped because of the valuable insights provided in context to the robot club testing. I appreciated Kris McCormack’s input regarding his club fitting expertise, but it was always secondary to the hard data provided by the robot swing. Now that Jonathan Wall and Uncle Gene have departed for Golf Digest, there’s just not much value left here. I’m tired of the ad segments that take up way too much time and I just don’t care for the self promotion or to spend time listening to a marketing executive try to act relatable.
  • Siggy Sour
    New crew Same fun!
    Bummer to loose the homies but looking forward to a new run!
  • Alex R. 840
    So glad for the change!
    Happy to hear Jonathan wall is gone, he was so narcissistic and cut into everyone’s stories but would get so annoyed when people would pipe in during his, will miss Gene but stoked for this new chapter. Wall was awful he made me stop listening to the channel for a while.
  • Worthless in 8.02
    Golf Equipment Nerds Rejoice
    If you LOVE hearing about the backstories and nuances between various golf equipment brands (along with the sporadic hilarious non-golf story), this show is for you. As a new (but already obsessed) golfer, this is an amazing listen.
  • gkkillac
    I love this pod
    The guys are great, very knowledgeable and entertaining. I’m a gear nerd so this is right up my alley. Thanks and keep up the good work!
  • Tbogsys
    Drop the the Canadian
    Guys do a great job but the RB guy never shuts up and just jabbers away. Guys need to drop him and he adds nothing worth wild
  • Cobra Chief
    One of the best Golf Podcasts out there
    They have put together a group of guys that can cover every aspect of the golf game. They have elevated my knowledge of the game and the gear associated with it and I look forward to more episodes to come. Id also love some Gene specific episodes, maybe even a series, on his fathers history and then Genes history as he took the reins from his Dad. So much golf history in just two generations of men
  • Johnimoto
    Audio quality needs a lot of work.
    Volumes all over the place, at times and in some episodes difficult to understand what people are saying because of mic quality.
  • skasting
    Borath
    I like Gene and appreciate his knowledge. Same with John Wall and all his tour info. Unfortunately, Borath is really coming off entitled and making it so tough to listen. The amount of angst, aggression and lack of respect he showed Gene (a vet in the industry) in the rollback debate was strange. Then he’s sobbing like a child over a golf trip… please make sure he’s ok and rein the guy in “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” please chill and realize this is a podcast on golf equipment.
  • The Mayor of North Park
    More Gene!!!
    Gene is the best. Dude doesn’t have a voice for radio, but he really knows his golf physics. More Gene, please.
  • Alex Tolb
    Show not good anymore
    I’ve never left a review on a podcast before, show used to be good and interesting then they lost one of their main host and then spent a year spending half the episode talking about an inside joke about a speaker or what concert they went to and then spent the rest of the episode bickering, nonsense show, not worth even listening to anymore
  • GJP84
    Great Show
    I look forward to Thursday each week! Great balance of topics!
  • johnTBuck
    Awesome but terrible audio
    I absolutely love the podcast and the topics discussed. The interviews are awesome but they really need to figure out their audio its half the time to quite and half the time way to loud and it will be in the same conversation that it fluctuates. That last interview with the ping rep. You couldn’t hear a single thing he was saying.
  • pgath69
    A lot of room for improvement
    My main gripe is with Tursky, plenty of people out there who know more about clubs. Not the sharpest tool…Let’s Go! Can you please stop comparing yourself, your clubs, and your numbers to Tour players?
  • Johnrael25
    Good content. Fix production
    The content discussed is insightful and interesting but Wall constantly interrupts everyone else, regularly talking over others. His audio is 40dB louder than anyone else. Are you guys producing this on an Apple II?
  • clicari
    Good content, horrible audio
    Love the content, but you need to get the audio figured out. The mics are horribly unbalanced. They're either too weak to hear or too loud. I'm constantly turning the volume up or down to the point I sometimes just turn the podcast off. Get an audio guy in there and fix it.
  • Xanderp22
    Audio makes me turn off sometimes
    Love the content and all of your personalities but the audio in the car can be unbearable.
  • paulfmcd
    One thumb up
    This podcast does have some interesting stories and information, my disappointment is the hosts spend a bit to much Time whining about all the time they spend traveling also there’s too much idle chitchat between the hosts I sometimes I feel like I’m just ease dropping on a telephone conversation between friends or coworkers. Stick to what is relevant to the listener. Peace
  • Leon_173869
    Overall solid but with a few gripes
    Lots of good information available but please level out the volume between all speakers and stop interrupting each other
  • DreamBoat1977
    Audio is terrible
    Guys...I honestly love the podcast. Great conversations and info. But, please please please figure out your audio situation. It sounds like your literally kicking your microphones. There are these jolting blasts of bass all throughout the show. It’s honestly completely turning me off to the show. Respectfully Matt
  • jayzero51
    Content is great, Audio quality is a concern
    I really enjoy the show and the content is awesome, there is a mic pop that has been consistent happening the last few episodes and it makes it hard to sit through.
  • Hollissimo
    Entertaining
    Much more interesting and relatable than the Subpar podcast, where tour players reminisce about their college days and players you’ve never heard of. This focuses on the PGA with stories about the pros sprinkled in among the gear talk. Great insights as to what goes on inside the ropes.
  • D.furuya
    Very hard to hear
    Love the show and information gained. My only issue is it is hard to hear everyone talking. Sounds like everyone is 2ft from the mics. Maybe turn up the volume if possible? Thanks
  • D NEVS!!!!
    Good golf tech nerd info, enough with the nicknames
    I lasted right up until the second “D Nevs!!!” And “J Wall!” Yeesh. Listening to a couple guys faun over each other’s bro nicknames while discussing the development of an 8 hybrid. Has to be the absolute basement level of content.
  • Noway_Jose
    Great pod
    This pod has become one of my favorites, love the gear talk. I just can’t stand how often Tursky interrupts Tim and Jonathan mid sentence.
  • AMarsman
    Love the pod, but please balance the volumes
    You guys are terrific, and the info is great for all golf enthusiasts. I have a problem, however, with the balance of Tim v JWall and Tursky. I find that I need to constantly turn down my volume when Tim speaks, and turn up when JWall or Tursky speak. It can distract from the content. Please try to solve this. Thank you.
  • JonQNoonan
    Pedantic Shillery
    Tried to get through 3 different episodes. It’s just a big, veiled ad for True Spec.
  • jshdndnedjjd
    Entertaining and informative
    This is a fantastic podcast. I never miss an episode.
  • GolfGrouch
    Shameful
    Any podcast that tries to bribe listeners for 5-star reviews deserves a 1-star.
  • Snapwhatyoulove
    🏌️‍♀️
    Fresh like cut fairways. 🌺 🏝 🌊
  • Golfingallday
    Great info and insight
    Interesting insights and info on equipment and tour!
  • Upstate Clemsonfan
    April 3 Podcast
    This is my favorite podcast and one I never miss! I enjoy hearing an insider’s perspective on golf equipment. In addition, being an equipment junkie I love hearing about pros equipment changes and what they might be trying to accomplish. Given that, the Kevin Na interview was my favorite part of the show! Since I love NCAA golf and we are all going to miss the conference and national championships I would prefer the Chris DiMarco headcover! Great show!
  • meeuwsenmj
    Paderson golf
    That interview was brutal. Tim did an awesome job trying to keep that going and make it interesting but the CEO just wanted to over generalize everything and say we are first and best without getting into any product. And I have a paderson driver shaft and was really interested to hear him on product! Disappointing but the POD is awesome. Keep it up
  • Jdjdjdnxndkd
    Quality Pod
    Really enjoy this pod and I really want that Signed headcover
  • Iamjoeymccusker618
    Great Pod
    Loved the pod as usual. Great interview with Kevin Na! Easily a like able guy on tour. Can’t wait to listen more in a time where this is no golf. Can’t wait to see what yall have in store. (Would love the Honma cover if I am picked)!
  • richbshafer
    Great Podcast!
    Great, interesting podcast every week!
  • MusicFogHandler
    Have to do something about the sound setup!
    I have recently started listening to the podcast. Absolutely love the content, but I have to say, it is painful to have to switch volume up and down so I can hear everything in every episode. Sometimes it feels like the are simply away from the mic as the volume is way different depending on the speaker. When the episode ends I have to rush and lower the volume because one of my speakers might go out due to me having to raise the volume a lot. Keep the content coming but please please do something about your sound setup.
  • dragons are awesome!🐉🐲🐉
    Great Podcast
    This show is detail, interesting and inspiring for amateur golfers. Great info on the latest gear plus some neat interviews with top pros. The audio is better now. Some of the earlier episodes had Tim loud and Jonathan sounded like he was in a box. Good work on the new studio audio guys!
  • bdegagne
    JWall and Professor Briand are the best
    These guys are great. Best golf equipment pod and great follows on social as well. Interesting topics, awesome interviews, and insight on equipment for every level of amateur golfer to the professionals. Highly reccomended. I look forward to every release and this podcast is always an instant listen when it comes up in the feed.
  • ygb33333
    Awesome !!!!
    Love the podcast but it’s VERY VERY QUIET
  • Diller Farmz
    Best equipment show
    Be nice to get more than one equipment and gear show each week. So much new gear coming this time of the year. Let’s have a show on players distance and MP20 line compared to jpx.
