Joe's been doing some real-life actual journalism this week. It's often quiet down in North Devon, so a few weeks ago spent an afternoon measuring the true loft, lie angle and face angle of every driver he's been sent to test this year. Which brands' measurements are closest to what they claim? And are we seeing a new trend in driver face angles? Joe reveals all from his exhausting display of measuring in his workshop.

Also this week, we've had loads of questions about the best ways to add weight to your golf club, and to help, Joe has put together a cheat sheet of the pros and cons of each method. Whether it's lead tape, hot melt or screws, we've got you covered for your next tinkering job. All of that, plus some analysis on Wyndham Clark's new putter, Bryson's prototype TaylorMade driver and, of course, some time for your comments and questions in Ask The Pod - enjoy!
