Currently I'm sporting the Adidas 360 3.0's which have served me well over the past year, I've probably worn them for around 50 rounds and at the range 50 times. I have enjoyed the comfort and stability of these shoes but recently my feet have begun to hurt. I was curious what everyone considers a standard life for a pair of shoes? Do you replace every year or by number of rounds?

Not sure if there is an answer to your poll...It all depends on the person not alone how often do you play in a season....

I just bought the Adidas Powerband 3.0 and am in the testing process as we speak...Played through 10 rounds now and I'm just starting to break the leather in...Walking 18 tomorrow and 18 on Sunday...By far the best investment I've made...

I usually replace mine every year or two depending on of course how much I golfed that year. Some shoes hold up better than others. I would also say that weather factors in here in the northwest you gotta get some really good waterproof shoes otherwise your definitely buying new shoes every season.

I swap out the factory insoles with better cushioned ones, and it enables me to keep playing more comfortably in the shoes for longer.

I also rotate between 3 pairs of shoes, so that one does not get completely beat down over the season (50+ rounds last season).

~3 years would be a fair approximation.

I'm also gaming the 360 3.0. Got them in San Diego last July. I'm thinking a year or so does me pretty good. I also bought a pair of TRUEs in the winter, so my 360s are not as worn (I'm a walker).

I'm looking at either the 4.0 or going over to the Nike Lunar Control.

What type of insoles do you find work well? I'm worried they would slip or slide under the force of a full swing.

How do you like the TRUEs? I've been seeing them a lot recently and I'm tempted to give them a shot this summer.

Couldn't recommend them more highly, myself (I know you weren't asking me). I'm about to go from two pair to four pair, if that tells you anything.

I have used Dr. Scholl's and Spenco brands with good results.  http://www.bestinsoles.com/ is a good website  - worth checking out.

      How Would You Play This Hole? (Hole #10 at TPC Louisiana)

      By klineka ·

      There's not 40yds of fairway at the blue line. There's like 19yds.   I don't know if there's anyone on the planet who is hitting a 19yd wide fairway 74% of the time from like 300yds

      How Would You Play This Hole? (Hole #10 at TPC Louisiana)

      By p1n9183 ·

      I run the numbers to get a more accurate estimation...  Considerations: Players dispersion (95% of shots) Driver: 70 yards 3Wood: 60 yards 3Iron: 50 yards. 4Iron: 45 yards.  Landing Area at blue line (left to right).. 20 yards of bunker and 40 yards of fairway. Tree left and right of that. Ideal aim is 14 yards right of the greenside bunker.  At Brown: 35 yards of fairway, 5 yards of bunker, 20 yards of fairway. Tree left and right of that. Ideal aim is 10 yards left of the 2nd bunker. At green:  25 yards of fairway, 10 yards of bunker, 25 yards of fairway. Tree left and right of that. Ideal aim is 3 yards left of the shorter bunker.  At red: 40 yards of fairway and 20 yards of bunker. Tree left and right of that. Ideal aim is 15 yards left of the big bunker on the right.  I used SG approach from the PGA tour and normal distribution for dispersion.  Results:  Blue: 19% of your shots are going to be in the bunker. 74% on the fairway and 7% in the trees (left + right). Distance to pin 50 yards in average. Spected score from trees is +0.66, 0 from sand and -0.35 from fairway. References: X recovery shot (trees), s = sand, f = fairway.   Average score= 3.78.  Brown:   Green:  Red:    In conclusion.. by the numbers.. the best strategy is to play Driver with an average of 3.78.  Bonus.. let say you are really bad at long bunker shots so insted a 0 score average you putt it out side ways leaveing you a 3rd shot of 50 yards from the fairways.. the numbers changes as follows... Now been on the bunker is +0.65 shot loose instead of 0. 3.9 average is still almost the best option, only 3 wood with 3.87 is better so unless you are terrible at that distance you should hit Driver.   We can play further with the numbers but it doesn't change the outcome that much.

      Okay, I had these two assumptions wrong. That would be my premise for hitting driver. I promise I'm not high.. lol. Fair enough.

      Wider than most fairways, yes (thus why I don't hit 100% of my fairways), but most holes I play have 65+ yds between hazards (or areas where I can't easily advance my ball to nGIR) so the majority of the time when I hit driver I am able to find it and have a reasonable look at the green.  That would not necessarily be the case on this hole, especially because a mishit driver brings those left trees into play.   PGA Tour players average 2.82 strokes to hole out from 40yds in the bunker and 3.15 strokes to hole out from 60yds in the bunker.  2.82 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 110yds and 3.15 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 190yds.  Now granted I would only have that 50yd bunker shot 1/3 of the time, but it's still a VERY difficult shot especially for amateurs.   Haha trust me I love chasing birdies, but I'm averaging 2.78 birdies per round this year so that's not my issue, I need to make less bogies (5.2 per round) and doubles (0.42 per round)
