Happy midsummer! It's that time of year again, when we take stock of all of the main equipment manufacturers' years so far, and send them home with a summer report for 2026. Which brand is going home with an A to happy parents, and which brand has plenty to work on going into the next phase of equipment releases? Before all of that, Joe finds his favourite driver on the GolfClubs4Cash website for under £200, we discuss the rollback on the golf ball rollback, and Joe tells us the good, the bad, and the ugly from his experience at regional qualifying for the Open Championship. Enjoy!
