Oakley Golf goes lighter and lower with its two new shoes

For those golfers looking to reduce the burden on their feet during a round of golf, Oakley Golf may have the answer.

Its newest tech series shoe, the Cipher 2, weighs only 9.2 ounces — 1.4 ounces lighter than Adidas’ new adizero shoes, which were released earlier this month.

To help get the weight down, Oakley moved away from the traditional cleat design and instead used NanoSpikes on the bottom of the shoe. These small, high-grade pieces of metal were tested at USC’s biokinesiolgy institute and were found to last as long, or longer, than other spikes on the market.

For the golfer who wants a more traditional shoe, there’s the new Oakley Carbon Pro. Oakley worked with Softspikes to include its Performance Insert System (PINS) to the bottom of the cleats to help make the spikes lower and lighter.

The inside of the Carbon Pro contains Octostick, a silicon additive that will help prevent the foot from moving around within the shoe.

“We wanted to create a higher-end, durable shoe,” said Justin Cobb, Oakley channel sales manager for apparel, footwear and accessories. “You have your Cypher, which is a real technical product and you also have your (Tour) series product which is going to be really durable and going to take a lot of rounds of golf.”

The lower-to-the-ground cleats will help give golfers more stability while swinging. Get more information about the shoes by watching the video below:

The Cypher 2 will sell for $150 while the Carbon Pro retails for $200. Both shoes come in five different color schemes. Check out the photos of the shoe in the gallery below:

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.”
