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.

    • Day 152 (01 Oct 24) - Still dealing with the crud so I kept it simple - simple 3/4 swings with the 6i into the net and wrapping up with similar swings using hard foam balls to get some ball flight visuals (you know its getting good when 6 out 7 balls finish within a 10yd circle).  Side bar: the great thing about the Edel SMS 6i is that it lets you know when you've made solid contact and when you haven't.  
    • I noticed that too.   But back to the original post - as a partial foot amputee (all the toes on the left foot from motorcycle wreck) - carts are part of my game.  I do try to get in a walking of at least 9 once a month.  We don't know enough of the story to know "why" they are carting - but if one was to surmize, I would suggest its a YouTube /Instagram / X (Twitter) thing.  How many golf vloggers are out there that are not "carting" it.  Take the guys of Good Good, its offshoot Grant Horvath, Bob Does Golf, Bryan Bros just to name a few.  They pretty much cart it all the time - so for many the cart life is a "given".    Maybe it was more a "snipe" at the content crown and not so much at the guys in the photo.  
    • It’s gatekeeping and it’s dumb. Why do they even care that people are riding?
    • Correlation might be there, but I don't think that really helps you get where you want to be. For example, I see a 67.4 from the sound app going with a PRGR reading of 79.0 and a 67.2 from the sound app going with a 85.0. Bear in mind most people are going to be swinging a club at roughly similar speeds most of the time, so the range of speeds with a 7 iron swing might be say 88-91 for a given player. That's fairly tight and just based on what you're showing above, you're looking at sound numbers that are going to be wider than the spread of speeds for the same exact speed every time. You've got a 6 mph swing speed difference in the table with a 0.2 difference in sound and going the wrong way. I don't think given that you'll get anything valuable out of this, even if you could set it up perfectly every time.  Having said that, I'd think that your own ears are probably better at figuring out how loud the woosh is than the decibel meter. Our ears are very good at pinpointing a specific frequency to focus on, which the sound app won't do. Your ears are also going to be permanently about the same distance from the clubhead. It's not going to be scientific, but you could probably tell whether one swing is faster than another based on how they sound if that's what you're focused on. Certainly not going to be useful session to session, but swings back to back if you're just trying to swing faster than you did last time, you might have a chance of telling that from the sound you hear. 
    • Eh. Do your hips back when they swivel like he demonstrates? Or do they tend to go forward as they rotate?
