Inspired by the differences in what Augusta National played like for the Masters in April compared to November, Ryan and Pete jump into a discussion of how he fits golfers based on the predominant grass they play. The guys talk about how each manufacturer makes a sole that tends to fit some types of golfers better than others. What's the best iron for a sweeper? What's best for a digger? Then the guys go down a rabbit hole on wedge fitting and all the things to ask.

"Gear Effects" is available as an audio podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts.
