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.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
