Nike lets you design Tiger’s shoes (and yours, too!)

Nike just announced the latest innovation in the highly competitive golf shoe market: the chance for you to design your own custom pair of golf shoes, which happens to be the latest edition of Tiger Woods’ signature line of golf shoes, the Nike TW’14.

Just to spice things up a bit, Nike is giving golf fans the chance to design the shoes that Tiger will be sporting on the PGA Tour in 2014 and to win some gear for yourself as well. So put on your most creative hat and head over to http://nikeid.tumblr.com/designfortiger to start putting your virtual paintbrush on the palette and click away to design a pair of golf shoes that are suitable for a 14-time major champion. Who knows? You may just design a pair for yourself while you are at it!

In the old days, golf shoes that looked like “tennis shoes” would have some of the stuffy, blue bloods turning up their noses to the members daring enough to lace them up. But, this line of shoes, originally inspired by the wildly successful line of Nike’s “Free” running shoes, has broken that mold. Tiger began tinkering with this type of lightweight yet supportive athletic-inspired golf shoe following his injury layoff in 2011, and he hasn’t looked back since he had the golf world buzzing when he strolled out in his first pair of white prototypes. This new model for 2014 offers either a waterproof version suitable for misty fall day at Bandon Dunes and a breathable mesh version, which would be at home on a steamy, summer morning in Orlando.

Designing the shoe on the website is as easy as you would expect from an outfit like Nike, which has offered consumers the opportunity to customize shoes on its Nike iD site since 1999. When you go to the contest page, a link from there will take you to the Nike iD TW’14 site where you can just start clicking away on the shoes while the design tool leads you through the process. Once you have your design complete, click on the Twitter icon to tweet your design.

Make sure to add #designfortiger @nikeid and @nikegolf to your tweet in order to be entered into the contest. There is no limit to how many entries you design. The only limit is that the contest ends in a few days (11:59 p.m. on Dec. 8).

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
