Says who?  Still rockin' TW13 here.  It's just like with running--you gotta rotate your shoes.  I try to play black shoes, white shoes, and brown shoes and rotate them.  Sometimes i might even treat myself and get a grey pair.

Not sure about the Nike thing. But I'm a big fan of the rotating shoes thing. I always bring at least 2 pair to any tournament, so I can rotate them. I think it makes my feet feel much better.... maybe it's psychological, not sure.

Not to keep harping on this, but I have owned a fair share of golf shoes. If you want quality, comfort and balance in your golf swing, there really is no better choice than True. 

I have to agree with you on this. I used to be an Ecco guy, but I've converted now. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Same here, I had my Adidas 360 for 6 years.  Got rid of them when they started to leak.  Nike’s I have cost me $25 and I’m going on season 2.  I prefer plastic replaceable spikes which is my top priority.  
 

I only have one pair of shoes and play 3 times a week.  Practice the other days so they get plenty of wear.

Just bought my third pair of Trues.  I really wouldn't consider anything else at this point.  They're the most comfortable shoes--not just golf shoes--I've ever worn.

I've been wearing True Originals for a couple months now, and I have to say they're the best golf shoes I've had. The zero drop sole took a little time to get used to since it feels a different. The heel is snug on my foot, so to get my heel to sit down on the sole without folding the inner liner on itself I use a shoehorn. Water proofing has been great so far, and my home course gets really sloppy in rainy season.

I'll probably buy one of the lighter knit models for when things dry out.

I've got Majors that I bought last year and a pair of Originals on the way.  I don't remember what my first pair was but they lasted a long time.

I must golf on some different golf courses. I hardly ever see folks playing in golf specific shoes. 

Most are wearing some sort of tennis shoe. That, or like myself, a comfortable, water proof,  pair of walking shoes, with a some what aggressive sole. Mine are also 3/4 toppers.

It's gotta be completely different in the desert.   I rarely see people golf w/o golf specific shoes in Michigan.

What do you guys think of spike-less shoes?

The old shoes I have certainly lose spikes after a while, but I've never tried to play in spike-less before.

 

Friends of mine have them and feel they are good but have slipped on wet grass. I for one want spikes which I can change, my shoes last a long time.

I was reluctant to try spikeless for a very long time. Finally tried some and they've become my primary choice.  They can slip, but have rarely.  And the new designs are much better at maximizing traction.  I have some Adidas Code Chaos coming in this Thurs, accordingly to Amazon.. so it's virtually a lock that a 64 is in store for the weekend.

They are far more comfortable on and (especially) off the grass.

I wore metal spikes in the twilight of their life.  The day I switched to soft spikes I slipped on two slopes near the tee box.  I learned quickly.  Haven't slipped since.  Though I have a friend who slips about 4 times a year, especially in the winter.  Especially when he's inputting info into his iphone as he leaves the green.

Yeah. I have to figure that they wouldn't encounter very much "dew' in the desert southwest!

      The Stack Wedge System

      By iacas ·

      If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.

      PXG Secret Weapon — Mini Driver

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
