46:51 Nikals Norgaard What's In The Bag?
Happy Friday, folks, thanks for joining us for another week of equipment deep dives. After our direct-to-consumer chat a few weeks ago, we've received some comments asking for more data comparing the drivers and irons of these brands versus the OEMs. So, Joe's brought some receipts from his testing. How close, from a data perspective, are the DTC brands getting to the big dogs? Also, this week, Joe's been out and purchased a golf club with his own money. As a man who gets every club he wants for free (for testing purposes, FYI), why has he gone and purchased an old Callaway Apex UW, and how does the 2025 version stack up against his favourite club?
We've got more of your brilliant correspondence and Ask The Pods, and then we welcome 2024 British Masters champion Niklas Norgaard onto the show for a what's in the bag chat. Joe embarrassed himself in front of Niklas just as the cameras started rolling. Could he recover and get through the rest of the interview in one piece?
