So here's my issue... I have very recently purchased 2 pairs of the Adizero 2014 golf shoes (one white and one blue.) Because of the damage these shoes do to the greens, my club (Camberley Heath)

I wonder how this will play out on the PGA circuit, and if it will lead to a local rule getting put in place at places like Augusta.

Adidas is gonna take a real beating over this, the should do a voluntary recall.

I doubt it. Most courses have banned metal spikes, and yet many PGA tour players still use them.

Metal spikes didn't do what these are doing. The sole on metal spikes would still spread a lot of the weight out.

Someone made a post earlier about that.

One of my regular golfing partners bought a pair last year and we notice the damage to the greens right away.

The club didn't ban them but I can confirm the damage they do.

I don't think Adidas will do anything but I certainly would not buy a pair.

I would love to see more and more golf courses banning them.

I didn't like how they felt when walking when I tried them on.  You can feel that all your weight is on the spikes so I was concerned they would break and wear down quickly if you spend much time on hard surfaces.   I much prefer the 2012/13 AdiPure.

My point was just because courses locally ban something, doesn't mean it will affect any rule on the PGA tour. For example, PGA National Golf Club does not allow guests to wear metal spikes on the golf course, but PGA Tour players could wear them in last week's tournament. Unless the shoes catastrophically damage the greens, I doubt they will ban them on tour. Besides, they probably only cause significant damage when people don't pick up their feet when walking.

Thanks guys, I'll pass on the info to my Saturday League (80 members), cause our greens get a bit soggy in the rainy season.

Have you seen some of the pictures? There seems to be a chance that they do "catastrophically damage greens." Players will also self-police this kind of thing even if it's never made into an official "policy." You can probably remember the Vijay/Phil thing at the Masters a while back…

The sole of the shoe never touches the ground so ALL of the weight of the player is on the spikes only, even with metal spikes the shoe sole still touched the surface and were less damaging unless someone started dancing "the twist".

That's some nasty damage. Looks to me like its from those protrusions on the sole where the spikes are attached to. I'd bet they would do damage even with the spikes removed.

Hmmm. I do own a pair of Audizero shoes. And to be honest, i also noticed some slight damage on the greens I would step on, but not nearly as much as what we just saw in the photos posted in this thread. Geez louise thats a lot of damage. I will be keeping a lookout for some new golf shoes sometime here in the beginning of the season.

      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!
    • WUTiger
      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.
