Club Junkie

In this week's episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most talked-about iron sets in the direct-to-consumer world—the Sub70 669 CB irons. I break down the feel, performance, forgiveness, and overall playability of these cavity backs, and who they're truly designed for. If you've been debating an upgrade or are curious about Sub70's growing reputation, this full review is a must-watch.

Then we shift gears and look ahead at some early info and impressions on 2026 wood shafts from UST Mamiya, KBS, and Aretera. From new materials to evolving EI profiles, these upcoming shafts hint at some big performance trends for next season. Get a sneak peek at what your driver and fairway woods might be swinging next year! FOLLOW CLUB JUNKIE

In this episode of the Club Junkie golf equipment podcast, we review the brand-new Bettinardi Antidote SB3 and SB5 putters. If you're searching for an in-depth Bettinardi Antidote review, wondering how the SB3 vs. SB5 compare, or trying to find the best high-MOI putter for your stroke—this breakdown covers everything you need.

I take these putters on the course for real-world testing and discuss performance, feel, stability, alignment, and who each model is designed for. Bettinardi fans and gear junkies won't want to miss this one.

Avoid resisting the lower body against the upper body. We touch on this, plus LIV new adjustment and YouTube Golf

In Episode 30, we chat with Glenn Birchfield. Glenn is the Build Shop Manager for Peoples Golf, which owns The Peoples Clubs at Tour Stock Putters. Glenn has been putting his stamp on the club building world for years now, and gives us a peek behind the curtain about equipment, Tour Issue product, and his love for putters.

This week, we're diving deep into the latest lineup from Scotty Cameron: the Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC, both featuring the brand-new OC (Onset Center) design that's all about reducing torque and keeping the putter face square through impact.

We break down what makes the OC setup special — with the shaft positioned in line with the center of gravity and slightly back from the leading edge — and talk about how that helps stabilize your stroke and improve consistency. We'll share our thoughts on the Phantom 11R OC's rounded shape, heavier head, and ultra-stable feel, plus how the Studio Style Fastback OC brings that classic mid-mallet look with a carbon steel insert and chain-link milling for a buttery smooth roll. You'll hear our first-hand impressions from testing: alignment, feel, roll, and stability, plus who we think each model really suits. We wrap it up with our verdict on where these fit in the current putter lineup — and which one might earn a spot in your bag.
