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…

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
