I noticed the extra height as well but it forced me to bend my knees more resulting in my chest being more over the ball giving me more crisp iron shots with a less upright stance…
I actually thought of that while practicing, but hadn't quite put into practice. It's good to know someone has had success with it.

Funny to read this because I was just commenting on the fact that my tee game has been great, but having issues with my iron/approach game now and I am wondering if it is the 1/4" difference in height. I do have to admit that the shoes feel great, both from a comfort and stability perspective.
same.

Played Goshen Plantation outside of the city limits of Augusta, GA. The address is technically Augusta, but it's 25 minutes away. Met the owner, Spike Kelley, who played sparingly on the PGA tour, and won the Buick Open in 1975. He also happened to be a 2 time runner up of a small pro tournament at a course I worked at in college, in the town next to wear I grew up. Small world. I teed off on 1, then watched this 75 year old man get on a fairway mower and start working. Honestly, I'm jealous and miss the days of cutting grass on maintenance crews.
Tale of 2 nines, score wise. Actually hit the ball pretty well on an unfamiliar course. Par 5's were in the 500 range, so definitely reachable, if I hit the fairway. I have a 2 way miss, and my one thing I can't fix is my lack of turning hips. I like to "slide, slide, slippity slide", as Coolio would say. Pull hooks or push cuts. Even trying to his a slice doesn't work. Anyway. putting and chipping was good. zero 3 jacks. some up and downs. I actually hit 55% of greens and 50% of fairways. The fairways surprises me, since I remember my bad misses. 31 total putts, and one chip in. I wasn't close to pins, so 31 putts was good for me.
Total score was 77, course net of 68 from the blues, which play about 6700-6800 yards. Score wasn't lowest this year, but probably the best given the course/slope ratings.

These clubs look amazing, and in LH. Signed up hoping to win a little staycation.

Got a testing session in today. a little frustrated with the rapsodo mlm, but may have been my phone being in a case. I received enough answers to give a good result, but may try one more session on Tuesday. Played golf yesterday while visting my mother again. Played 9 wiht the Sqairz, and 9 with my FJ's. Scored better with the FJ, however, I had a blow up hole due to a terrible shot with my driver, and had zero to do with the shoes. It's my swing

Picking up a launch monitor Thursday. Hope to get two range sessions in this weekend to truly see distances

I was a member of the first Sqairz testing group a couple of years ago. Love the performance and comfort of the shoes. The originals were kind of heavy though. I still have my original pair, and I've since purchased two more. The only thing I've found to complain about is the fabric in the interior of the heel cup has worn out on all three pairs. Have any of you noticed anything similar yet with the Speed bold?
I know everyone is different, but these don't feel heavy to me, compared to my FJ Contours. How long did it take to wear out? I've played 6 rounds in them, and had a couple of range sessions,

I’m down in Augusta Ga checking on my mother. Tried to get on a local course today but it’s closed this time of year for renovation and honestly I’d never get invited anyway. I played Augusta Municipal. I sucked. My course handicap is a 3 and shot a 83. Not good at all, especially with 3 birdies. More work to do

I will second the hot feet thing, but I’m ok with it. Also I was concerned that a higher heel back would rub. I’ve had issues of bleeding with former shoes for years and would often have to put band aids on my heels to golf. I haven’t had issues at all. They rub slightly as all shoes night but I don’t really notice any damage to my heels

Are you guys seeing added distance with every club or only the drives?
Now that I’m a little more comfortable in these shoes I’ve gained up and down the line. While it’s easiest to tell on drives, I’ve tried clubs that I used to hit at certain distances and am closer to those old distances than I was with other shoes. For example my 7 iron was my 165-170 club years ago and in the past year it was my 155 club. I’m confident I can hit it 160-165 at this point. That’s huge to me.

Date 06/18/2023 Course Name Knollwood GC Gross Score 84 Course Handicap 4 Gross Strokes over/under par 14 Net Score to Par 10 Net Score 80 Net Birdies or better 1 Longest Drive 0 Today sucked again. Trying to keep that angle longer. Better shots than yesterday but and overall worse score

Better misses today. No thins. Better shots, worse score

Very interesting. I found the same result when I switched from the FJ Alpha to the SQAIRZ. I went from a 268 to 275 guy to 280 to 300 guy. That is a huge gain in distance off the tee.
I also had a couple of high 280 shots. Even a 265 with my 3W. Off the tee, I'm seeing a difference, but not much off the fairway. Again, my swing needs to adjust to the slight height difference from what I'm used to.

Interesting first round in these. My misses were different. I was thinning. Got home and saw the difference between my worn out FJ's and the Sqairz. I was almost an inch higher in the Sqairz. I will say, when I did connect with my driver, it did go. I felt really connected to the ground. The attached pic was my longest drive today. I’m usually a 270 guy so this was a pleasant surprise. Could be several factors including the shoes

My name is Bob Winskowicz, founder of SQAIRZ. I want to thank the MY Golf Spy team for the opportunity to participate in the Forum product test program. I'd like to also thank the five people selected for taking the time to do the review. For those of you who have never tried the shoes, the following is our promise to you, which is what we so boldly advertise: When you put something on your body, it becomes part of your performance. In all land based sports, there is NOTHING more important than ground connection, balance, and stability. Without balance and stability, you will never use all the energy you create with the ground (distance); and you'll never be consistent (accurate) as your arms follow your body. My promise to you ... the design of SQAIRZ, with our 7 patents, will improve your balance, stability, and ground connection. If we can improve these three things, it will result in more distance and better accuracy. The design of our toe box simply allows the toes to sit and function naturally which will give you better balance. We widen the base under the ball of your foot ever so slightly to add even more balance and stability. As a result, there is now more surface area coverage of the ground to promote a more efficient energy exchange. All of this is proven and measurable with a pressure mat. The removable cleats are strategically positioned and supported by traction lugs. If you are wearing a spikeless golf shoe (without removable cleats) your are compromising ground force and giving up distance. The studies, available on line, state in upwards of 10 yards loss. There is a reason why 82% of all tour players wear removable cleats. There are two connections in the game, hands to the club, feet to the ground. Without balance and stability, the $600 driver and ball you are playing are irrelevant. All the rage with the players today is "how to use the ground" better. Your only connection to the ground is your golf shoes. They can help you or hurt you. SQAIRZ will most definitely help you play better golf.
It was a pleasure to speak with you, Bob. I was just in Bangor and it was not the same place as I remember even 3 years ago. Having the shoes waiting for me when I returned home today was wonderful.

I was shocked to hear it, but some people called it months ago. It’s too early to see a winner in this. LIV players seem pumped, however, some are saying LIV is essentially dead. I doubt it’s totally dead. Rory and Norman were throwing shade at each other and both were out of the loop. I’m more surprised that Norman was left out and makes me think he’s gonna be unemployed.
so this the second time Norman wanted to be a lead in a breakaway type league that eventually falls under the PGA Tour (or his idea for the high paying special events).
I’m awaiting Rory, Tiger, Greg, and even Jack to make statements.
and this new for profit league. All of these guys wanted to play less (so they said).
so much to process. Thankfully I’m on the road the next 7 days. Maybe we’ll know more

All great follow up questions above for you to consider. Using your math (5 iron x 36, and my 5 iron is lofted like most 6 irons now adays), I'd be playing 6600-6800. While that's cool, I prefer 6200-6400. Are you playing with handicaps? I love that I have a course handicap off my index for every tee, and not just the farthest 2 back. are you playing matches, and it only seems fair to play off the same tees? If you're playing for fun, tee closer.
