Yesterday I hit a tee shot super array and literally had my back foot slip about 6 inches on the down swing. It was a little wet but not that wet. I never flip my footjoys over and look at my cleats so I immediately did after the shot and sure enough, they were almost gone. Well I had some extras I bought when I got the cleats so I changed them and WOW! There's no telling how long I've been slipping on shots because I'm hitting the driver pretty well now that I have that little bit of traction! Wondering if anyone else has had that slipping action hurt their game or if its all in my head and I'm just more confident with new spikes on?

For the best grip I like the "Black Widow Tour", set to tour firm (this spike has 2 settings, tour firm or tour comfort) or the "Cyclone Ice" (both from Softspikes) or if you can wear metal spikes on your course take a look at the Champ made spike called "Pro Stinger" only thing scarier looking than that is the bottom of Tommy Armour III's golf shoes.

no grip = spraying shots all over the course.

I switched to Nike TW shoes, they are super expensive, but I won't use anything else. these things are like suction cups on the golf course. Greatest shoes i have owned. i still have multiple shoes that i wear to match my outfits, but I prefer the nike TW shoes over anything.

I own adidas 360, puma cell fusion, foot joy xps, etc...

I purchased these on Saturday and I am in love with them.

I was a die-hard Nike consumer in terms of street and golf shoes, but FJ has won me over. I use the WeatherSof gloves and never found anything more comfortable and long-lasting, so I figured I'd give their shoes a try and I am definitely glad I did. I generate a lot of "torque" and always had a problem with the shoe not holding me in place or allowing me to rotate. I feel like my shoes are built into the ground with these and they're also extremely comfortable. Hell, you would think I was a FJ rep.... lol.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
