I have a pair of FJ Superlites. I like them.

same here FJ superlite's low pro..got them on line for $80..everyone has them at that price...golfsmith, globalgolf etc etc. Excellent shoe. Can't argue with the ebay route..if you get a top line shoe for $25...good job!!

I would recommend something like this: http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikegol...ils?sku=379214

Nike makes some of the most comfortable shoes because of the Nike Air pockets in the heel. The link lists them at $85, but prices are always inflated on Nike's website, so you could find them much cheaper.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I have one three pair of Nike Zoom Trophys (I wear Orthotics for flat feet, so I need to be able to switch insoles from one shoe to the next), and two Pair of FJ Myjoys that I got 2 years ago.

The Nike's are the more comfortable shoe, imo. Not by leaps and bounds, I like my footjoys, but the Nikes just feel a little a little bit better. But, there is a vast difference in durability. The Footjoys are a far tougher shoe than the Nikes could ever hope to be. The nikes are softer, and and it seems they stretch a lot and get worn out quickly. At least one pair of my Nikes are pretty much done, and aside from some grass stains and a little wear on the heel of one pair, my footjoys are as good as new.

Depends whats more important to you, comfort or durability. And like I said, the FJ's are still quite comfortable, i've walked 36 holes with them multiple times with no problems.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
