Future’s golf brand, Golf Monthly, is excited to announce the launch of a new gear-related podcast.
Co-presented by staff writers, Dan Parker and Joe Ferguson, Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show features weekly test reports, explainers and deep-dives into the club line-ups of the best players in the world.

Kick Point is available wherever you get your podcasts, with video episodes available to watch on the Golf Monthly website and short-form clips to be distributed across the brand’s social media channels.
