pulledabill 2,531 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I rotate through 3 pairs of golf shoes and I play a ton of golf. I also seem to fly through replacement spikes. Are there any out there that you have found that don't wear as fast as others? Im 270 lbs so that doesn't help either.

PlaidJacket 7,725 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I don't have any advice for spikes. I wear lightweight Skechers walking shoes I guess you'd call them. Flat soles. But, replacement spikes don't last for $hit IMO. Personally, I'd like to see metal spikes return. These plastic multi-pronged spikes we have now days do far more damage to greens than metal ever did. 2 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to post Share on other sites

I have a new pair of FJ's and they have a more aggressive spike on them then my previous FJ's of the same model. I can see everywhere I walk on the green with them as they leave some major marks. Great traction, but they tear the greens up. Not sure what brand the spike is.

How fast are you going through spikes? I find they hold up better if you dont walk on concrete. I play once a week and can get about 6 months out of a set. I use champ stinger. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: TM-180 Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

I play 2-6x a week so probably barking about my wear for no reason. Lots of concrete on my home course and I try to avoid walking on it as much as possible. Ive been buying the Stingers as well as thats what my shop I buy from carries.

tony@CIC 18,666 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I play 5-6 times a week during our season (April to November), alternate between 4 pairs of FJs, one of them being spikeless. On average I replace my spikes once a season. I replace with cyclone spikes which the FJs came with. And yes you have to be careful on the greens - it's easy to leave marks.

Berg Ryman 4,064 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I was always a Softspikes guy, namely the Pulsar brand when I walked, but when I switched out my spikes for the final time I went with the Zarma Tours over my usual and found a good grip. As a a bigger guy I know the pain of replacing spikes every year, even if I don't play as much as you do. I'd stick with Champ brand spikes going forward @pulledabill Quote ST180, 10.5, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S Epic Flash Sub Zero, 14*, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S F9 Speedback, 17.5, Hzrdus Yellow 70-S G710, 4-UW, Blue Dot, Nippon Modus 105-S TW-W4, 56*, Nippon Modus 125 T20, 61*, Nippon Modus 125 Flo-C Pro V1X, 2021 Model, #33 Link to post Share on other sites

Concretw path every hole which I try to limit myself. The big issue besides me is that there is 7 holes where you are walking 100 to several hundred yards between green and tee.

Bob Pegram 7 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have found champ spikes to be must sturdier than other brands. I go out of my way to find them when replacing the old spikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
