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

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…

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
