Anyone who has ever owned Asics running shoes knows that they are comfortable. But, what of their premium golf shoes?

I asked my local club pro about Asics and he didn't know that they even made golf shoes. So much for their marketing division.

My last pair of Footjoys set me back almost $200 which I gladly shelled out because I wear size 14's and selection is usually an issue. However, in my last trip to Golf Galaxy, I tried on about 20 different golf shoes and was delighted to drop $169 on these shoes. They feel great, glue your feet to the turf, and have worn well for a full season playing twice a week.

My only complaint about these shoes is that they tend to leave some deep impressions on greens that are soft due to the pod-like structures on the heel. Anyone else have these?

Wow, I'd never heard of Asics doing golf shoes either. They do looks pretty cool. But I can see what you're saying about depressions in the greens. That could be said about any shoe on squishy greens though...

These are something that I need to check out.  I have worn Asics for running exclusively for the last few years.  Do they run true to size?

Huh. These are a few years old. I've seen them for under $100 at a Golf Galaxy. Must have been a sale.

Well, would a look at that! $99 on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/Asics-Mens-Gel-Linksmaster-Golf-Shoe-Sz-10-5M-/170592358969?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash;=item27b818d239

The link above is for the linksmaster. I found the gel ace the op was talking about for 129.99. Still not a bad price.

How does the synthetic material wear. That would be my only concern.

I have found that the shoes run true to size and are incredibly comfortable.They also did a great job standing up to wet Michigan golf!

The synthetic is looking as good as my '$200 Footjoys after the first season (I have black).

As for being $99 at Golf Galaxy - I wish!

And yes, they do look a lot like the cheaper model.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted a pair of the True Linkswear but I have plantar faciitis in both feet and don't think shoes with thin soles would work very well. I usually walk 9-18 four times a week and need a comfortable shoe with a lot of support. Really thinking of trying a pair of the Gel Ace.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By GolfSwami · Posted

      If you make assumptions excessively favorable to Tiger that leave out the best arguments for Jack that most people would never use to evaluate greatness in other sports and didn't use to measure greatness in golf until Tiger got injured, then sure. Here is how Gemini rates both of them just in major output with a prompt to generously subsidize Tiger's record because of field strength. And also the answer to the question who had more longevity Jack or Tiger.  Hopefully this puts the trutherism to rest.
