Puma introduces Faas Lite Mesh 2.0

Published

on

Today, Puma Golf announced its release of the Faas Lite Mesh 2.0, a comfortable performance sneaker disguised as a golf shoe. Weighing just 6.8 ounces, the 2.0’s are lightweight, versatile, spikeless, and changing the feel of footwear on the golf course.

The 2.0 model takes features from the original Faas Lite Mesh shoes, and combines them with different style, additional heel comfort, bonded construction and thermoplastic urethane (TPU) support. New enhancements on the shoe will increase comfort and stability for on-course performance and off-course enjoyment.

The Faas Lite 2.0 combines technology with comfort and style, creating a shoe that you will want to wear whether you’re walking 36, grabbing dinner with your friends after a round, or even heading to the gym,” said Grant Knudson, head of footwear for Puma Golf.” The 2.0 version includes new, strategically placed support pieces that provides increased stability and added support during your swing.”

Puma Golf utilizes technology in areas of comfort, performance, and visual appeal in their newest release. A single layer of mesh enhances breathability and reduces weight, while SmartQuil traction provides directional grip elements to improve stability and ground contact. An Ortholite Sockliner provides increased cushioning, and a stitchless, mid-foot support paddle lends added reinforcement throughout the golf swing.

Also featured in the shoe is FaasFoam+, a blend of foam and rubber that is 25 percent lighter than previously used foam, according to the company. EverFoam in the collar allows the shoe to shape around the contours of a golfers’ foot, and a new mesh tongue increases comfort and further breathability. A high abrasion resistant carbon rubber on the bottom of the shoe ensures lasting durability.

With an MSRP of $90, the Faas Lite Mesh will be available on June 1 in three colorways, Turbulence/White/Grenadine, White/Black/Crimson and White/Turbulence. Each shoe comes with two lace options allowing golfers to customize the look they want.

    The only thing golf related about these shoes is the word golf written on them. Three times.

    You don’t need that on real golf shoes.

    I like to call a pair of trainers a pair of trainers and that’s all these look like to me. What possible grip or levels of comfort do these offers over a cheap pairs of trainers from target?

      I currently using the faas lite. It really comfortable, lightweighted and provide me more than enough grip. The only thing I would concern about these shoes is durability.

      “SmartQuil traction provides directional grip elements to improve stability and ground contact.”

      If you look at the bottom you’ll notice that these have more traction than your regular show.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

on

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
