I understand what your saying,but its diferent in the shop,i tried both my adidas tours on and they felt great,but after a round is when the problems occur and its too late to return them after that..

Footjoy's alltogether are great... I have owned 3 pair in 5 years, they have all been winners! Whatever you do, buy the shoes, throw away the inserts and go get some that you can mold to your feet... like these... http://www.rei.com/product/752606 . I put these in my shoes and after a round walking, carrying on a hilly course. I have no issues. Go to an REI near you and ask them for the brand that you stick in the oven then mold to your feet. I use these for everything, I think i want a second pair!

Since I walk 100% of the time, I cannot sacrafice comfort when it comes to golf shoes.....I have owned many pairs of footjoys, etonic, dexter, etc. But I bought my first pair of ECCO (GTX's) last month and they are absolutely the best shoe I have owned as far as comfort...We'll have to see about the durability though......

I decided to try something different this year and went with the Nike Air Zoom Elite II. Have to say they are GREAT so far. I got the same size I would normally order in other brands and they fit perfect.

    • He's going for that carelessly disheveled look but it comes off so manufactured and deliberate. Kind of like Boris Johnson. Tool.
    • Ok but seriously, are they allowed to use their phones for Tiktok or YouTube during the lulls? Rory's round took 5 hrs 51 mins
    • Hole 6, you need to hit a 240 ish slight draw. I decided to flight a hybrid. I made the perfect length backswing, I swung down better, and I kept my arms in front of my chest in the finish with a 3/4 finish.  The ball didn’t get to the tree tops, flighted push draw. I really felt that stretch of the club pulling me up into the finish.  2nd is the next shot, a 70 yard waist to waist distance 52 degree wedge that landed 3 yards short of pin high and one hop stop pin high. Nippy. 😁    
    • Shot a 42. Got to making 1/2 to 3/4 my normal swing. Much better tonight. Should have been a few strokes lower. I blades a pitch shot on hole 1. Didn’t get width. Tried to make a 3/4 swing on a par five, but hit it full swing because my 3/4 is a full swing. A 8 iron went 180 yards and hit the cart path over the green into the lateral hazard. 😳
    • All of these things are possible. Couple of things to bear in mind in particular with regard to Sasho's point about a club flying out of the hands. First of all, even though a driver might have about 100lbs of force on the hands at impact at 110mph or whatever it is, most people have two hands on the club at that point (Vijay excepted, but I'm guessing his front hand was strong enough to hang on on its own), so 50 lbs per hand would be sufficient to hang on to that. Second, grips are also tapered, which helps quite a bit and they're sticky, which also helps. It seems unlikely that grip strength limits clubhead speed because the club might come flying out of your hands, but it's possible that your brain is holding you back because it knows (or thinks) it'll be uncomfortable. I would note that on occasion, I have hit drivers well off the toe or heel and the club twists in my hands as a result. That's unpleasant and I obviously try to avoid that. Subconsciously, perhaps my mind is thinking I might do that with a faster swing, so it limits my speed somewhat.  In short, while there are high schoolers with 120 mph club head speed, I think that's quite a ways from the norm and if their grip was stronger, perhaps they'd be at 125 mph. I don't think high grip strength generates speed. If there is something there, it is much more likely that low grip strength saps speed.
