hi guys, is there such a thing as turning your right foot to much in the golf swing i threw out my old golf shoes because the front of my right shoe was loose and cracking. so i bought a new pair of nike air shoes for $100 and after about 500 right foot turns the shoes are starting to do the same thing anyone else have this happen.

I don't know what you're doing wrong, because I had some Nike's for at least 2 years of regular 2 or 3 times a week play, and they held up brilliantly.

(I probably should've changed them, but it wasn't life or death).

Hey Kevin -- Never heard of that happening. Sounds like you're playing WAY too much golf!

ECCO shoes are pricey, but the sole and shoe are actually one piece (not sure how they do it), so they never separate. Might be a good investment given your issues.

Cheers,

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

I would've thought that too, but he says it happened after about 500 right turns. Being a 14 handicapper, that's about 6 rounds of golf. Surely it's something different.

I have Footjoys that I'm real happy with. 500 "foot turns" is only 5 rounds of golf for most of us, so something's wrong.
Are they on the right feet?

How long did your old shoes last? If it was a while, my guess is that you are hard on that part of your shoes based on that experience. It sounds to me like the new pair may have just been a quality control failure---they do happen. Brand loyalty notwithstanding, I don't think there's any reason to think this is a systematic problem with Nike shoes.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H

Only pair of spikes I ever owned that fell apart relatively quick was a pair of nikes. I went to foot joy and puma never looked back. The ecco comment: I've heard and I think there's a thread somewhere on here about how the one piece soles will crack in half. I don't know if it's common I'm guessing not but still something to ponder.

Sorry for being an engineer, but 500 right foot turns won't equal 6 rounds, because putts dont require right foot turns. So in a round of 85 strokes, how many non-putt strokes are there? Roughly 50? So that 500 is really ten rounds of golf - still way too few to ruin a pair of shoes!.

I had a pair of Nikes (pre Tiger days) that fell apart about half way through a season. The soles came apart at the heel and would flop up and down. I prefer FJ Dryjoys and never had a problem with them. Although this season, I'm starting with a budget pair of Adidas I picked up at an outlet.

500 hundred right turns ? Zoolander ?

Yeah well...he could be slicing the ball a lot and then getting sudden chip-ins.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
