This style of shoe is becoming very popular and is trending in an increasing fashion.  What do you think this style of shoe should be called?? There are many versions out there and almost every company produces them in some fashion.  Everyone has a different name for them, spikeless, street, minimalist, zero drop, etc.  I just wanted to hear from all of you to see what the general thought is, and more importantly what the golf industry should refer to them as.

See you on the course.

Can we just call them spikeless golf shoes?

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

Spikeless golf shoes sounds fine, but just because they are spikeless dosent mean they are zero-drop. I'd stay away from callinig them street shoes, they're are people on this forum who believe the game of golf has too much street creeping in already. Dont get thes guys started on Flat Brim Hats or Cargo Shorts. By the way Global Golf is AWESOME!

I love my puma faas lite mesh. Regular golf shoes feel heavy, clunky, firm, stiff, etc. like wearing a work boot. In these pumas I feel like I'm walking On air and are super comfterble. For me its all about what feels best

Lightweight mesh shoes are great for walking the course. The only downside is that a heavier shoe helps keep my feet planted during my swing. Also, some mesh shoes don't have enough lateral support when I push off with my back foot on my forward swing. Do the Pumas faaslite feel like they have enough support? I like the design and am considering to buy a pair.

There's the puma faas lite and faas lite mesh. I had the mesh and tney have good support. I assume you mean down me foot roll over my ankle when I shift my weight forward. It doesn't. I feel planted to the ground and secure. I can swing as hard as I want and am not concerned with me feet at all

These Nike's are what I have and they're awesome.. I like to walk in the morning often during the week and they're so much better than the normal old style golf shoe, but a little more grip than some of the other spikeless styles [URL]http://m.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=15834426&lmdn;=Brand&cp;=4406646.4413987.4417989[/URL]

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
