## Resource

On this episode of Club Junkie, I dive into the brand new Ping i540 irons and talk about where they fit in the lineup, the performance on the course, and who I think they are really made for. There is a lot to love and maybe one complaint in the new i540 irons.The show also covers the new LAB VZN.1i putters that have started showing up, plus some new Graphite Design Tour AD shafts spotted out on the PGA Tour and what makes them interesting. Wrapping things up, I might swap a few shafts into some putters and talk through how those changes might completely alter feel and performance.Follow Club Junkie on social media:Instagram: @clubjunkiepodX: @ClubJunkiePodTikTok: @club.junkie.golfThreads: @clubjunkiepod
