B81Smith 196 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don’t believe so as long as grip is adequate you’re fine. Having said that it seems a few companies no ones ever heard of have claimed massive distance gains with their shoe. I’m not believing the hype. I’d say if you have enough grip and aren’t slipping all over the differences are negated. Cleated shoes feel like I’m tearing acl’s or something lol.

blackngold_blood 4,052 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Has anyone tried wearing turf shoes for a round? I was looking around and noticed that none of the current offerings for golf spikes really peak my interests(at least in the price range I'm looking at). I have noticed though that there are some cool looking turf shoes (UA Harper Turf to be exact) and was curious if anybody has any thoughts, comments, or experience using them for golf?Sent from my Moto Z3 Play using MyGolfSpy mobile app Quote What is in my Bag Boy Revolver Driver: PXG Gen2 0811x 10.5* set to small + with a VA Composites Nemesys 55s @ 44.75" Fairway: F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Irons: Testing the Titleist T200 irons 4-W2 with Project X LZ 5.5 shaft -1/2" and 1* Up Wedge: Titleist SM7 56* with Project X LZ 5.0 shaft Putter: Custom Futura X5 flow neck with a UST Frequency Filtered shaft -1" with a SS wristlock grip Link to post Share on other sites
luzcarter 0 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) It does affect scoring. When my old shoe split open while running I was quite depressed because I was already comfortable wearing it but when I bought a new nike I noticed that my score has been improving. I guess I was wearing the wrong shoes for 4 years. Edited February 19, 2020 by luzcarter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmishJason 321 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well, this thread certainly gives me a lot to think about. I've pondered about switching from spikeless to spiked shoes to see if it makes any difference. My feet definitely move around a lot.

TheCommonHacker 32 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 To be honest, I think most of it is in your swing and in your head. I have shot 35 in spikes and a 37 in flip flops. I know that might shock some of you that a club would allow flip flops. I personally like flops because the force be to slow down my swing. If I swing too hard, well you can imagine. I have also played in an amateur tournament and and shot an 87. However if your SS is 110+ you might wanna get some grips. When I’m comfy I play better. It’s all mental. You do you and do what makes you hit more fairways and greens.

Flip4000 44 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 For sure, I have found that switching shoe brands comes with score changes. I had one pair of shoes that I could not consistently score in. Found out that it was due to that shoe being slightly higher than my normal shoes so it felt strange addressing the ball. I have since consolidated my shoes to essentially 1 brand and 3 styles for the course. Long term I would like to get down to 2 styles, but we aren't quite there yet. Over the years I have found golf is about eliminating as many variables you can control as possible and what you wear on your feet seems like a no brainer Quote Right Handed Ping G410 LST 9 degree X flex ping tour shaft 75G Ping G410 3 wood 14.5 X flex Evenflow black 85G Taylormade Gapr low 19 degree X flex KBS hybrid 80G Titleist 714 AP2 4-9 iron +.5 length 1 degree upright S flex kbs tour 120G Vokey SM6 46 +.5 length 1 degree upright Dynamic gold S 300 Vokey SM5 50, 54, +.5 length 1 degree upright S flex kbs tour 120G Vokey SM5 58 +.5 length 1 degree upright S high rev 125G Scotty cameron newport 2.6 34 length Link to post Share on other sites
thatjasonlee 37 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I agree with the comfort statement. For myself, it's not necessarily the grip that affects my swing. But when my feet hurt at the 14th hole to a point where I pause to rest, it makes me rush the rest of the round...which leads to higher scores. To be honest, I think most of it is in your swing and in your head. I have shot 35 in spikes and a 37 in flip flops. I know that might shock some of you that a club would allow flip flops. I personally like flops because the force be to slow down my swing. If I swing too hard, well you can imagine. I have also played in an amateur tournament and and shot an 87.

Mitch H 6 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I usually use several pairs of shoes as I am a dew sweeper and play 4 to 5 mornings a week during the week. Lately I have been changing between my Sketcher Mojo Elite and a pair fo spineless Eccos. I noticed that my scores averaged 1.5 strokes better with the Sketchers as I know the Eccos are super comfortable but provide what I would say is poor traction. I just bought a pair of Sqairz spiked shoes. OMG, the grip. I used them the first time and tied my best score of the year , an 84, and that is with a triple bogey on 17. I think shoes absolutely make a difference. The better the grip the more comfortable you will be swinging faster while maintaining balance and posture. Also the better contact you will make based on feet not moving. Shoes are part of the whole system. While it is arguable whether you will hit it longer (not sure) I think one can be more consistent. 1 Quote Mitchell Heller All lefty Titleist TS1 Mitsubishi Diamana Ltd Red 60 Stiff - 4 gm added to head Titleist TS2 18 degree fairway Mitsubishi Ltd Red 60 Stiff Titleist TS2 hybrids 21degree, 25 degree, 27 degree Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black Series Stiff Titleist T400 7 iron - 43 degree wedge - 2 degrees flat - Aerotech Steel Fiber i95 Regular Titleist Vogel SM8 wedges - 48/10, 54/12, 60/10 Aerotech Steel Fiber i95 regular Putter - Bettinardi BB1 71 dare lie, 4 agree loft, 33 inch Ball - Titleist Pro V1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tsecor 477 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 for me, the shoes make all the difference in confidence......i cannot wear spikeless. I slipped in spikeless one time and almost tore my knee up.....unless i am at Augusta, i wont risk this again. For me, spiked shoes are everything in maintaining a solid base and generating power. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
