Don’t have the replacements yet, but this is from the website: it simply says “rubber”.

“Features:

Waterproof Bootie Construction (2 Year Guarantee)

Reflective Rope Laces & Reflective Accents

Wide Toe Box (fits regular to wide feet up to E/EE)

Neoprene Waterproof Tongue

New Antimicrobial Insert for Superior Comfort and Breathability

Flexible, Ergonomic Rubber Outsole

Alternative Leather Upper (Highly Scratch-Resistant and Durable)

Zero Drop Heel to Toe”

Good !  The speckled color reminded me of those cheap Walmart foam bottom shoes.  Glad to see it's actual rubber and not plastic foam

Just bought a new putter, Ping Ds72! slowly slowly starting to get a good setup that also suits my playing style!

[GolfSpy AFG]

Picked up my re-shafted, re-gripped, and re-fit Edels.  Accra TZi 95g shafts, and the clubs have all been flattened a degree.  Can't wait for the season to start!

So.... what kind of days will you have now that your coach left and raided the coaching staff? Just asking for a friend. 

[thulesgold]

My most recent purchase is a Vessel Player IV Pro bag. Absolutely love. They are a bit expensive but do give discounts to certain individuals (like former or current military). I carry more often then not and it has a perfect strap system and good weight. Recommend for anyone looking for a new bag.

Also me and my regular group took a road trip to Alabama and played the courses at RTJ Capitol Hill. What an amazing facility it is. The Judge course is no joke. If you've played you know. If you haven't I would also recommend. 

[Rob Person]

Nice bag!!! Did you play Legislator and Senator courses too?  Yeah, the 1st tee on Judge is daunting, especially when the wind is moving!  I also thought 7, 13, and 15 were challenging beyond my abilities. 

(Capitol Hill is a about 2.5 hours north of me)

Yea we played all three. I think we played the white tees but still Judge is no joke with what? 14/15 holes with water. I may have loved the senator the most. Being in wisconsin with lots of top tier links style courses playing another just felt right. But all 54 holes are awesome.

Yes!, the Senator was the 1st course I played there, and felt like I was transported to another time! While the fairways were quite shapely, the rolling mounds around them made you feel like you were truly isolated.

So I told myself I was just going to get the free 4 pack of TP5’s and be on my way. Then I saw a Blue and Red LTDx and thought I’m gonna look at that. It was mint less than $150 and I had 2 older drivers and 2 older 3 woods in the Traverse outside. Well end of story I brought home this new to me Big Stick lol! 

[RichL85]

Realized I didn't set my bag up with the right golf balls for the weekend in Florida so went to the golf shop this morning that was a few minute walk from my hotel and grabbed a dozen TM TP5x to try out. They also had a black Nike shirt on clearance that I grabbed. 

[ChiefMikeOfficer]

Decided to go against the grain and try some "fun" grips to start the year. The left 6 are from RipIt (an Australian brand), and the last 3 from Guilty Golf. Obviously they're not on the clubs yet, but initial impression says: RipIt are top notch, Guilty are just OK. I'll most likely get more RipIts or maybe a few from another brand to complete the set before the season starts. 

 

Stay tuned -- should have a couple more fun purchases coming this week or next. 

[epochsurf]

In the last year, I’ve bought a lot of sub70 stuff. 4-6 699 v1, 7-A 699 v1 pro, 949 4 wood, 949 3 hybrid, TAIII 56, and I have a 001 on the way. 33”, hybrid shaft, and super stroke grip. Super pumped about it. Stoked to see their new driver. I have a gen 4 PXG XF that draws too hard. Looking to get a more neutral and better made driver this year

Been on a bit of a bender. PXG had a sale, so grabbed a GEN 2 3W. (Did I mention I LOVE how PXG boxes and sends their clubs??)

Been wanting to try TRUE Links golf shoes; again a sale, so again I pull the trigger. Word of advice: READ all the literature. Received these very quickly, tried them on (ordered the size I always wear) and they were too small. Huh… Start figuring out a return/exchange process and notice a SMALL link to “What Size Should I Order?” Hmmm… Anyway, they note that the shoes run small, and you should order a 1/2 to a full size larger than normal. So, after a few emails back and forth with their EXCELLENT customer service, a new pair is on the way in a different (and hopefully correct) size.
Last but not least, I have an Ogio bag that I like, but the legs have proven to be junk. A sale called my name yet again, and I am now the proud owner of a Ping Hoofer, finally.

Think I’m probably done for the foreseeable future, but if that “SALE” bell rings, who knows??

I’ve never understood the camo thing but that’s a really nice bag

Nice.  Post some pics when it gets in, and add a profile pic while you’re at it!

Agreed. I had the Radspeed in the same colorway since it came out but I have to say the gloss blue crown on the LTDx blows away the flat blue of the Radspeed!

They are really nice looking units!! I wanted Cobra to work for me but I tend to hit the ball low center and for some reason every Cobra driver I hit penalizes me terribly for low on the faces strikes but as far as looks go?? They are a winner!!!!

Just ordered a motive hitting mat for my garage/backyard…

I tend to stay middle but a smidge toe side and it works for me. That said I have had bouts with the low center and when those strikes reared their head last year I demoed and picked up the Mini Brnr. Not sure how or why but it worked. Planning on keeping both in the bag this year Brnr in the 13.5 as a string 3 wood

It worked because pretty much any club other than Cobra works well low on the face but something with them just doesn't work. I had an LTD and an F8 and F9 And sold them all

These definitely caught my eye while I was going through shoe ads earlier. Looking forward to your thoughts. 

So finally was able to get a proper test with 9 holes on Thursday and 18 on Friday.

Get this out of the way, they are extremely comfortable. The cushioning is top notch. Comfort is a non issue with these.

With all the weather hitting the west coast, conditions, even in the desert are wet and muddy. They definitely proved they are waterproof. And even after the round the mud and dirt wiped right off with a damp towel.

Now the new spike system and bottom of the shoe is where it got interesting. Because the sole of the shoes is basically molded from heel to toe, they are extremely stable and minimal flex. Part of that is the shoes being new, but the stiff sole made any flex on the bottom very limited. The new spikes provided great traction. I have had issues in the past with my back foot slipping from time to time, but not with these shoes.

Sizing will be the issue for some. I was told they run small and go up one half size. I did try them on before hand. These run narrow so i did have to go up that half size but had extra space in the toe box. If you have narrow feet or long toes, these will fit great. If you tend to need a wider shoe or like something with a bit of space then you may need something different. Or atleast try on before ordering.

Overall solid shoes. Comfortable, looks great, and performs. Just make sure they fit!

Thanks for the details on the sizing and the performance of the cleats. I usually wear a wide shoe so I’ll check with my local golf shop to see if they are bringing these in so I can try them out.

Update..  Chalkless grip enhancer.  WOW. This is a homerun in foul weather. I split the bottle into 2 smaller bottles, one for the boat and one for the golf bag. I fish bass tournaments all over Florida and Georgia. My hands are constantly wet. I put a light coat on and rubbed it in. I could immediately feel my grip become almost "nonskid". Crazy. I dunked my hands in the water and it repelled like ceramic car polish. Amazing! I fished 7.5 hours and never reapplied. My hands at the end of the day were not shriveled up and wrinkled and my grip was still improved at 3pm. Amazing product. 10 of 10.
