Just happened to catch a putting close up of him, and his shoes. Which i like, very classical oldies look made in his own spain.

Found it interesting for him to be rocking the metal spikes, i thought the big names were the ones clinging to the classice metal spikes.

[jdhallissey]

no I think they all wear metal spikes. They give you the most grip all of the time.

[alucard655]

They prolly rocking the stinger pro

[Golfme]

Its a shame most golf courses dont let people use metallic spikes cause of bad walkers.

I miss the sound when i was in colombia, of the metal spikes clicking on the pavement as you walked.

My home course in The Netherlands still allows metal spikes, although almost nobody uses it as you're not allowed to go inside the clubhouse with it (thus changing room).

[asmooth7]

They are Italian...they actually commented on them yesterday.

[Irridium]

handmade for him in Italy. the feeback and publicity has been so good, they have released a line to public under his name.

he's been wearing them for afew seasons

[chadboygolfman]

Miguel Angel Jimenez looks funny to me. Every time I see him I laugh. That big belly and his red hair sticking out the back of his cap. What do yall think? lol!

[ron]

He had skin cancer on the back of his neck...

[chadboygolfman]

my bad im sorry but he should cut that hair and pop his collar lol

[hmx3]

One of the niiciest guys on tour and the people and also the other pros like him.

On European Tour are many players with metal spikes, app.30-40%

[stealthontour]

Miguel has more class than nearly all other golfers put together.......(I know him, and if you ask any other pro on tour they will agree)

He's super nice, his shoes are handmade in Italy (has about 6 pairs made a year) He's real 'old school' He enjoys the finer things in life and shares them with his friends. He doesn't have a 'belly' as some think, he's barrel chested and struts around like a cockerel on show....

One of a dying breed of golfers who love the life and live it, and having a good time is as important as winning.

Spot on mate, by far and away my favourite player on the european tour. He is a touch of class.

It is Nebuloni shoes he wears, they really are beautifully crafted, but hellishly expensive.

So you have asked all the other players on tour? Did you tell them he had more class than all of them put together when you ask?

Seriously

He may be a nice guy, but thats and enourmous overstatement there don't you think?

back to the subject I find metal spikes hold better but soft spikes are easier on your feet. They have also been great for greens I do not miss spike marks.

[stealthontour]

I've work on, in and around the EuroTour for 10 years.... the guy has more class than anyone else....

Spikes..... I agree, I don't miss swearing at spike marks on greens anymore when I miss a putt.... would it be a tough decision to ban metal spikes on tour ? I'm not sure, maybe the length of spike should be looked into... Mickelson got panned a few years ago for his long spikes at Augusta, but I'm not sure you could ban them.... any thoughts.....

[belote]

The rough is too thick to ban spikes, and the ban for us has nothing to do with golf. The reason we can't use metal spikes is because of wear and tear on the rest of the golf course grounds. If you ever look at the concrete of a club that is old, its all chipped and ugly from where people used to wear the metal spikes. Also they destroy carpet and hardwood floors, which is why the guy above who can wear them on course can't wear them in the clubhouse.

[pbcgolfer]

I also saw Badds wearing metal spikes during the FBR, it kind of reminds me when i was younger hearing my Dad's metal spikes on the concrete. I think they look sweet, I don't think anything looks better than the original calssic FJ's in all white with metal spikes like Badds had.

[bunter101]

have to say that MA is one cool classy guy. along with Darren Clarke.

Not at all.

For the Peugeot Tour in Spain (regional mini tour in Spain), Jimenez not only participates in some events, for the ones he can make, he usually buys lunch for all of the Spanish players under 25 each day to help them out.

Amazing guy and one of the classiest guys out there.

Feel free to pull that foot out of your mouth anytime Ken lol..
