We’re closing the book on 2025 by breaking down the final WITB (What’s In The Bag) from Club Junkie. In this episode, we go club by club through the exact gear that earned a spot in the bag after a full year of testing, fitting, and on-course evaluation. From the driver and fairway woods all the way down to irons, wedges, putter, and shaft choices, we explain why each piece made the cut, what got swapped out along the way, and how performance, feel, and consistency played a role in the final setup. If you’re a gear junkie looking for real-world feedback—not marketing hype—this episode is for you. Whether you’re building your own bag for 2026 or just love diving deep into golf equipment, this WITB episode gives you a transparent look at how Club Junkie approaches testing and decision-making. 🎧 Tune in and find out what stayed, what changed, and what ultimately earned a spot in the bag for the end of 2025.

This week, we’re diving deep into the latest lineup from Scotty Cameron: the Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC, both featuring the brand-new OC (Onset Center) design that’s all about reducing torque and keeping the putter face square through impact. We break down what makes the OC setup special — with the shaft positioned in line with the center of gravity and slightly back from the leading edge — and talk about how that helps stabilize your stroke and improve consistency. We’ll share our thoughts on the Phantom 11R OC’s rounded shape, heavier head, and ultra-stable feel, plus how the Studio Style Fastback OC brings that classic mid-mallet look with a carbon steel insert and chain-link milling for a buttery smooth roll.
