Josh goes on-course with special guest Matt Davis. Matt is the founder of PutterCup, a dead-simple and truly effective set of putting training aids. The three different PutterCups tackle three distinctly different components of putting: The Center Cup helps with narrowing in your focus, The Speed Bump helps with dialing in holing speed, and The To Go Cup allows you to have a regulation-sized hole wherever you go.

On today’s episode we’re going to be doing something totally different than any other previous episode of The Mental Golf Show. I’m going to take you inside the ropes of my fitting for the brand new, just released Titleist T-Series irons. I got to try these out for a pre-release fitting which of course made me feel super special. And I’ve had them in the bag for about two weeks now and holy cow are they good.

And we break down how having the right equipment can help your mental game.
