Poll: How Many Pairs of Golf Shoes Do You Own?
KatoGolfer replied to Middler's topic in Fashion & Style
I think you are right, the pronounced piece on the back seems to be more durable. It does slip a little on my foot but doesn't produce a blister. We'll see I guess -
Poll: How Many Pairs of Golf Shoes Do You Own?
KatoGolfer replied to Middler's topic in Fashion & Style
I thought I had a problem but reading a few others, I feel much better. 2 - Sketchers, not my favorite looks wise but they are very comfortable and very durable. 3 - Under Armour, favorite looking shoes, not as comfortable as the others and not nearly as durable. The backs rip faster than any other shoe. Hoping the have figured this out with the new backs on the HOVRs. 1 - Adidas, my first spikeless shoes I ever really liked. 1 - Puma, hardly ever wear these as they give me blisters and aren't very comfortable. 2 - Jordan ADG, I know, I know, not exactly the traditio -

I find them a touch less boardy and am seeing slightly higher ball flight.

If that's what you see that's what you see. I did say that the greens are so fast on the Tour now that you don't see bump and runs nearly as often as you used to and also said that for you to use exclusively one club you have to put in a lot of time to perfect it. Most amateurs don't have that kind of time, just don't put in that time or are not capable of perfecting it. The best players I play with use a variety of clubs around the greens depending the on the situation. I'd say that a normal SW is still the choice for a majority of chips around greens but for players to never use an

After playing Project X 6.0 iron shafts for 15 years I switched to Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 - S shafts for the past two years and really like the change. The Modus3 130 - x shafts would be closer to the 6.5.

Almost all of the higher handicap players I play with use too high lofted clubs on almost every shot around the greens. I will not offer advise to anyone unless asked but if I'm asked I usually tell them that. I had one of my 12 handy guys ask about improving his short game, he was a SW or LW only player around the greens, I told him that and he's improved quite a bit. I don't get it, I'm thinking that these guys picked up the game later in life and were never taught a true short game maybe? If you watch professionals, most will use an 8 or 9 iron if they can and hit a bump and run chip.

I wish I had a picture of the push carts my club has. They are old school, three decent sized actual bicycle tires facing forward, a nice spot to store divot mix, a really nice area to keep your drink, scorecard, rangefinder, also a nice sized basket below to throw your pullover, vest, etc in. They move effortlessly and are very stable, we've had rookies put them by a green and have them get blown into a ravine with a small breeze or a small decline Everyone that plays our course has the same look on their face when they see the ol relics, but by the end of the first hole they are always

With ya there. In the off season I decided to thin down my "decoy" bag from the closet and sell some stuff. Well, at this point after selling a couple wedges, two putters and a 3w I still have more clubs in it than at the end of last season. Yikes.
