I Bought the game changer pro in the Black with the small white stripe.  They had a deal if you bought them for the $169.00 price, you get a pair of the oxfords for free.  My local Rodger Dunn had the deal in their store. Pretty cool.  I really like the way these feel!  So comfortable. I was waiting to see if they would carry the classix line in store because the reverse saddle caught my eye!  I thought, wow this much comfort and I really like the style of the saddle, so ordered the classix, returned the game changer pros. Kept the oxfords, ;)   Wore the classix for one round and got a blister the size of Texas on the back of my left heal. ;(  Bummer.  They didn't have any other sizes at the golf retail store to try, like an 11, 10.5 is my usual size and non of the sales guys new that the classix might run a little smaller than the Game Changer Pro.  Well, returned the Classix and bought a new pair of the Game Changer Pro's in the Gray and trophy gold. But get this....They went on sale on the website for $99.00 so the Rodger Dunn's honored the sale price.

Whew....The Game Changer Pro's are super comfortable!  So the thread on sizing is very important when ordering.  ;)

Huh - seems like the Motion is the only shoe in the new lineup that "checks all the boxes" for why I've bought True shoes exclusively for the past few years. As far as I can tell, the Game Changer Hybrid doesn't have zero-drop. I just bought a pair of True Tours (2014), but it's a little unnerving that they will only have one option moving forward for those that want the wide toebox, zero-drop, and spikeless. I'm curious whether they could do a spiked shoe that has zero-drop...would that work? Surprised they didn't try it since it's one of the things that has set them apart from the beginning.

My guess is this would be pretty difficult without a really stiff sole.  Otherwise I could see horrible pressure points all across your feet on even moderately firm ground.

Featuring P-Motion Technology, designers utilized an ultra-thin, lightweight proprietary rubber mesh compound created by a biomechanical engineer in the midsole of the Game Changer Pro to create the most flexible spiked shoe on the market . The combination of the rubber mesh and thin EVA foam, P-Motion delivers unprecedented TRUE Comfort and shock absorption allowing your foot to move naturally and breathe inside the shoe. By incorporating the replaceable Champ™ Zarma Tour™ soft spikes and the Slim-Lok™ system, designers were able to maintain a zero drop design with the spikes recessed into the sole. The Game Changer Pro features a premium leather upper

Motion - Fits like the 2013 models. The 10.5 fits great. Probably my favorite model in the current lineup.

Also, the Oxfords fit much more easily when you pull the tongue out farther. 11 might be a smidgen too big.

I have the Dry/Lyt in a 10.5 and really like the fit. How close are the Motion's to this?

Huh - I missed that completely. :doh:

If you look at the photos of the sole, it's pretty neat how they did it.  I probably still would never go back to spikes (I've never had a problem with traction in my True's), but it's a cool design.

About the same. I think you'll really like the Motions.

I have 10.5s if you want to try any on first.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
