My feet are slightly narrow, and I get the best results from running shoe companies that shifted into golf. I have two pair of Nike shoes I wear and one pair of Adidas (still in the box). M-width fits great, and I don't need a custom order with them.

I tried a pair of Trues Linkswear - and yes, extremely comfortable. But a little goofy looking IMO.

New ones are not as "wide" (goofy) in the forefoot - this trend started with the Stealths, Chukkas, and the Tour Protos last year. And this year's line looks more "traditional" while still retaining the benefits of the original shoe.

I have the original True Tours and they are total clown shoes :-$ but comfortable as all get-out.

All of the above are the reasons I've point blank refused to try them. I don't need to look good on a course but at the same time I'd rather not look like Ronald McDonald playing golf even if they're the most comfortable shoes ever created. ;)

My favourite shoes ever were Nike Lunar Control and now the new version are even lighter and more comfy. Love them!

I don't think that the newer versions are clown shoe like anymore.  I have protos and sensei, and while they certainly have a little more room in the toe area than non-Trues, and they are more "rounded" instead of "pointy," they are not over the top clown-like.

Definitely roomy though.

What I like about Truelinks is that they run a bit wide. I am between a regular and a wide, so I have to go by brands that run a tad wider or have a ton of different width selections (new balance). I have the Truelinks Proto, in black with the red stripe, and a pair of brown with the red stripe. They do not work well with shorts, but any sort of pants they match up great. I plan on getting a pair of Truelinks in a more traditioanl sports shoe style for when I go shorts.

I've just had a look at the 2014 lineup and they seem to have decided to employ a designer now; some very nice styled shoes compared the to older rubber clogs style shoes they released (e.g. True Tour I think?). If they were easy to find in the UK to try on I'd definitely think about them now.

Ha! That is sooooo my sense of humor! Lol! I prefer Nike to anything else. Great blend of style and comfort. For me, I have narrow ballerina-like feet so something snug makes them feel stable. I like the TW13s and the Lunar Ascend.

Anyone tried the new TRUE model The Gent? Digging the look, but wondering if they have the same feel as the other models...

Just ordered a pair of TRUE Linkswear.  I think the "Stealth" model.  What got me was the "2 year" waterproof warranty.  I plan on wearing these for an everyday shoe around the office.  I also will not have to change shoes when I go straight from the office to the course.

I hate ecco shoes. They never fit well at all. The might be comfy, but they are just horrible for me when I walk in them.

Wait, golf shoes that don't have any type of spike or anything? How does that help you not slip?

On second thought, after looking at the prices, I don't pay more than $60 for shoes so it doesn't matter anyway.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
