FootJoy introduces three new Pro/SL shoes

Published

on

FootJoy is introducing a new version of its Pro/SL shoe, with three new models available now and three more to come in January.

The new Pro/SL, which the company calls “the hottest shoe in golf,” features an expected waterproof leather upper, but the more intriguing technology is contained in a three-layer midsole/outsole system. It features Fine-Tuned Foam (FTF), which is 10 percent lighter than conventional EVA foam, according to FootJoy.

FootJoy emphasizes both the comfort and stability, as well as the traction benefits of 223 individual points of ground contact. An exploded view of the system below.

On Tour, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter, Kevin Na, Charley Hoffman, Peter Uihlein, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Smith and Andrew “Beef” Johnston, among others, sport the shoes, says FootJoy.

“Of all the shoes I’ve worn throughout my career, these are by far the most comfortable,” said Ian Poulter. “I get great grip in wet and dry conditions, plus with the BOA system, I can dial in the fit and comfort to get exactly what I want.”

Styles ($175 Laced, $210 BOA)

  • White navy red laced
  • White/silver laced
  • Black/silver BOA
  • Grey/white laced (1/15/19)
  • Black/black laced (1/15/19)
  • White/indigo BOA (1/15/19)

    Its a sucker that the BOA version only comes in black. Otherwise I like them – need to replace my first gen pair finally.

    I personally preferred the look of the previous model…Stock up while they are on sale…not much else apart from the styling seemed to have changed.

    My latest, I mean last pair of Footjoys, had a bumpy sole that hurt my feet right through the insole. No more for me.

      From experience they have a pretty good customer service department…Tell them and you’ll probably be able to switch to a new one.

    I want to like these shoes but Footjoy loves to make the narrowest toebox area of any manufacture.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
