Are these guys still in business? I tried calling, and the phone number on facebook was no longer working.

Yes, they're moving and trying to sort out ownership.

I got mine delivered yesterday.  They fit very much identical with the 2015 models. They do feel slightly more snug. I am wondering if the material they use in the inside is just a tad thicker th

Closest to the Sensei since it was dropped. Still hoping for a new TRUE with an outsole that is even with the lugs. Liked being able to wear my shoes everywhere on golf days, harder to do with

Okay, so I talked with TRUE, and learned a few things: The sizing of the new shoes is pretty much inline with the 2015 Motions. The Sensei is a little bigger at the s

Anyone else get the email that they came out with a new version of the Element, the Element Pro?

http://www.truelinkswear.com/shop/2017-men-s/true-elements-pro.html

I'm not interested considering all the durability/leaking issues I've had, and because they are not spikeless, but it seems they are still kicking as a company. 

Yep.

Look, what I can tell you from what I know is:

  • They believe they've fixed the durability issues. I can't confirm that myself.
  • They are trying to regroup as a company and have some new shoes in the pipeline. They're trying to get back to their roots.
  • The people who are left are good people. That doesn't mean they'll succeed, but they're good people and they are trying to do the right thing, IMO.

I should have the new models here soon and will have opinions then.

I hope they figure things out. They have some great concepts but clearly the execution was lacking over the last couple of years. Looking forward to the reviews as I'm struggling to find something similar but this time I will wait to see if they stand the test of time.

This is exactly my view...although I am very happy with the Puma shoes I bought (spikeless, zero-drop), so I can hold off for a bit without too much difficulty. 

Based on what I've heard, I'm cautiously optimistic that True will turn things around.

I got the email also.  Those in particular don't interest me with the spikes, and not sure about sizing.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that they come out ok, and get some shoes back out like the original tours, or protos or something along those lines.  super wide, super comfy, no drop, no spikes....cause mine are pretty much toast.  They won't make it through this year, and cannot find any old ones in my size.

There seems to be a different little strip of a different type of fabric across the area on both sides. You can see it in the photo.

Are there any differences besides the spikes?  And do you happen to know if the regular Elements got the same fix?

I ended getting some past season Footjoy Contour Casuals that seem pretty good, but not quite as comfortable so far.

I don't know if there is much else different. The styling is a little different, as you can see…

And I don't know but I think that the regular Elements got the same fix. They were touting a fix toward the end of last year. Maybe this is it? I'll ask when I speak with them soon…

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
