    Update: After ~ six weeks of walking/playing these shoes blew out (see attached).

    I bought them online, on sale, but returned them to a Golf Galaxy store yesterday. I looked at several of the other lighter weight offerings. Puma Ignite felt flat underfoot and the Adidas Codechaos don't have spikes, so I went for another pair of Tour 360 Primeknit. I'm hoping these last longer.

    That is too bad, but good they replaced and pretty telling you were willing to give the shoes another go. 

    How do you find the lateral stability with the knit material?

    I wear the Adidas Adipower 4orged S shoe in the summer and really like it.  Most comfortable shoes I have.

    It gets pretty hot in NC in mid-summer and my feet are comfortable.

     

     

    I love those shoes but I can't find them in my size anymore (11.5 wide). If I could I would buy immediately.

  3. I love hoofers and have only ever used 4-ways. The key is that you only put 3 clubs in each slot and the rest of the clubs go into the big mouth bottom slot. I have never had club binding issues when I use that system. Putter in the top slot works best for me FWIW.

    However, the bennington 9-lite is the best bag I have ever used as @pooley7 brought up. No club chatter! I did a review a long time ago.

    For the summer, on my push cart, I like a 14 way divider.

    I’m a bit forgetful ( wedge left at the previous green type thing🤪) and like peace and quiet when I’m walking and to keep my clubs in good condition. I also I hate “club clatter” as I walk 🤨

    So the best bag I ever had was a Bennington Quiet Organiser. It had 9 spaces for the irons, a putter well and divided space for the woods. It was easy to see all your clubs, you could soon see if an iron was missing.

    I’ve not got one any more and this is making me nostalgic - maybe I’ll have to get one for my next bag emoji848.pngemoji38.pngIMG_3155.PNG

    I've been wearing a pair of Adidas Tour 360 Primeknit XT for a few weeks. They're spiked, but may be just what you're looking for. I have a pair of leather Tour 360 which are pretty broken down now in 11W. Great shoes, but heavy. The shop I bought the Primeknit version from didn't have a wide option, so I tried 11.5R and they fit better than my other pair.

    Very comfortable to walk in, lightweight, but definitely not the shoes you want to wear on an early morning round when there's a lot of dew and rough cutting going on. Unless, of course, you like pruned feet and/or only hit fairways.

    The sole on those prime knits looks very similar to the boost. Maybe it is worth a try for the 12R (I own 11.5W). Thanks for the tip.

  5. I own a pair of Adidas Tour 360 spikeless (based on MGS most wanted https://mygolfspy.com/best-spikeless-shoe-of-2019/) and absolutely love them. But I am looking for a more breathable shoe for hotter, dryer rounds (for example, a golf trip in August with 108 holes in 3 days - yikes!). If I could buy a breathable Adidas built on the same last as the Tour 360 I would in a heartbeat. I take a 11.5 Wide and often have a terrible time finding shoes that feel comfortable out of the box.

    Any recommendations? I already have a pair of Truelinks Knits that I wear just as a regular shoe because I find them pretty sloppy in terms of stability. Based on my success with MGS's last recommendation I am tempted to try the Puma Grip Fusion Sport, but they don't have wide sizes. Any experience with these?

    For example, I have a ton of MTB-X currently, but would love to try the Z-Star XVs. But I like the MTB-X enough that I'm not going to buy a dozen of the XVs just to try them.

    This comment gets at a potential flaw in the business. Just how often is someone going to want a mixer pack? i'm just asking.

    Serious golfers buy new balls. Once a serious golfer finds a ball they like, is the market really big enough for the few who want to keep experimenting? 

    @edingc is not even willing to drop $25-30 on a dozen Z-Star XV to try them out. This isn't a knock against edingc. It's more a comment on how small the market might be for sampler packs.

  7. So my selection of which grip model to go with changes by the tides. 

    I am seriously considering just going with the old faithful crosslines. Assuming those things haven't changed since the early '00s I think I would be happy with them. I went to a golf shot and played around with some lamkins, just swinging, no hits. I liked the UTx and Sonar. Sonar has a nice grip texture to it.

    On a related question, my current grips are standard with 3 wraps. That is pretty close to mid size. Should I just go with a midsize and no wraps?

  8. Yeah, it was strange to see and may have just been a one-off or something? Maybe the Walmart web developer was trying to off-load his set of fourteen irons and dropped it in.

    Many folks talk about Wilson moving into Walmart as a cheapening of the brand. I will state that my first two sets when I first started were from Canadian Tire (a reasonable approximation of Walmart before it arrived in Canada).

    I'm not sure what the abuse of other companies was, or what happened.  But  I stumbled across a twitter thread by another site that asked readers to comment about  NL (I don't even want to do them the justice of spelling their name) and Sub 70.    I commented that I hadn't hit either one  But based on the comments I've seen come out of both companies in SM, I would not even consider NL, and that you couldn't even compare the two.

    So just keep doing what you do.  I like to think Class, professionalism and performance all win in the end!

     

    I've been a little out of the loop so maybe I missed the thread on here, but why the hate for NL? I've only seen their stuff, never hit any of it. Sorry if this is a diversion of the thread, but I imagine your thoughts would ultimately help Sub70's case.
