In a special edition of Fully Equipped, host Tim Briand, Head of Fitting at True Spec Golf, records live from South Korea where he continues to conduct robot testing at KIGOS for ClubTest 2020 while GOLF’s Managing Editor for Equipment Jonathan Wall has returned state-side to oversee player testing in Scottsdale. However, before continuing to dive into what is going on with ClubTest they take a look at two equipment changes that helped key Rory's latest victory. The episode then closes out with a double edition of our weekly mailbag segment where four listener submitted questions on robotic club testing are answered.
