anyone who knows me know that i think people attribute why too much success/failure to equipment.

However, i just got a new pair of golf shoes today and i was shocked how much different they made. At least a couple of shots in my round today. I had so much more support and felt much better balanced.

So, I stand corrected.

btw, in case you are wondering the shows are Adidas Powerband.
Bag: Three Five Yellow
Driver: 905R 9.5 Degree, Fujikawa Shaft Shift

I will also agree with you on that statement. I started golf 2 years ago so i bought a cheap pair for liek $60. I then fell in love with the game but my shoes would always give me blisters and did not mold to my feet like some technology on shoes did now, liek the cranks on the back of some shoes. I then decided to invest in a great pair (Adidas Tour 360, limited, $300) and my feet feel amazing in them. I feel liek wearing those things around all day. No blisters, never slip, just the perfect shoe. Plus they look amazing in pants

In my White Hoofer Vantage Bag:

Driver : R7 Draw
Woods : 3 hybrid
Irons : MP-60Wedge : 54 deg 58 degPutter : RED X 35' (in love)Ball : TP BlackBest Round: 80Closest to Hole-In-One: 0.5''

Yep, I'm feeling the pain right now with some 60$ shoes I bought. I need to pick up a new pair. - Steve

You might need a few rounds to break them in and you'll be fine...

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
