For winter warriors: adidas Climaheat BOA golf boots

Published

on

Adidas has entered the “golf boot” space with its new Climaheat BOA golf boots, which are made to keep your feet comfortable, stable and warm on the course in poor weather conditions.

Winter warriors can learn more about the Climaheat BOA boots ($180) below, or on adidasGolf.com.

Warm and waterproof: The Climaheat BOA boots have a multi-layered lining, which adidas calls “climaheat,” in the collar area of the shoe to provide warmth for your foot. The boots also have “climaproof” material in the microfiber upper, shielding your foot from water and cold temperatures. Adidas_Climaheat_BOA2

Adjustable: The Climaheat BOAs have a closure system on the tongue that utilizes a “push and pull” structure, making the shoes micro-adjustable. The technology keeps the shoes from loosening during the round, which is great… especially when you’re trekking through soggy conditions.

Comfortable: A “fitfoam” sockliner adds cushion and comfort, and the shoes are designed with a wider forefoot to give your foot added room, which could be good when wearing multiple socks on those super cold days.

Stable: The 9-cleat thintech outsole has “Swing Plane Traction” and “CenTraXion” for extra grip on the turf and low-profile “Stealth” cleats allow greater contact with the ground, leading to more traction. The TPU (thermoplastic urethane) saddle has Tour360 technology for foot stability throughout the swing.

    Enough distractions in the winter – these take one of those distractions away.

    If I step in a mud puddle on the golf course and mud and water come over the transom of my regular, waterproof, golf shoes then I don’t need to be on the course that day. Now, if there’s a solution to good drives plugging and backing up two feet I’m all in for that.

    What do you mean ‘entered the golf boot’ space? I have even using Adidas winter boots for 8 years now!

    In the muddy winter here the UK they are a must.

    I think these are a good idea. Back when I played in sub-freezing temps I would wear hiking boots. These look a lot better for swinging a golf club.

Spotted: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver, DUW fairway wood

Published

on

We have seen a few new mini drivers from the likes of Titleist and TaylorMade being tested out on tour recently. Now, Callaway looks to be jumping into the mix at the RBC Heritage. We spotted Christian Bezuidenhout testing out a new Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver on the range. We don’t have any details yet but the club clearly states “mini driver” on it, and the “340” could easily refer to how many CCs the head is.

What we do know is that this mini driver has a very similar design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood. The sole looks to be made from steel or titanium, not forged carbon like the Paradym Ai Smoke drivers. It has weights up near the face and at the back of the club. Callaway’s OptiFit hosel is also present on this driver to allow loft and lie adjustments, and if you look closely on the face, you can make out the “Ai Smart Face” text at bottom center. The crown looks to have the familiar carbon fiber weave and Ai Smoke logos we have seen on the current clubs.

Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke DUW

The other Callaway prototype that was spotted looked to be a little more of a traditional fairway wood — but with non-traditional weight placements on it. Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke DUW looks to have four adjustable weights on it — two on the sole, one on the hosel, and one on the toe. This hosel isn’t adjustable, and I would assume that is to save some weight from creating spots for the movable weights.

It is hard to tell from the photos, but the face looks to be a touch deeper than the traditional Triple Diamond fairways. This deeper face could be where the “DUW” name comes from. With three weights all pushed forward near the face this DUW has to be a very low spinning and launching head. The sole is made from metal and similar in design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond fairway woods as is the carbon crown.
