There are also two other models of Under Armour golf shoes available for pre-order.

UA Tempo Hybrid ($159.99)

The UA Temp Hybrid golf shoes are made from water-resistant leather, have “Charged Cushioning” for support and energy transfer, a built-in “rubber bumper” to prevent twisting and toe drag, and rubber traction pods on their soles for grip.

UA Tempo Tour ($219.99)

The Tempo Tour golf shoes are made from full-grain leather with a waterproof membrane, a “charged cushioning” midsole for support and energy transfer, a TPU (thermoplastic urethane) wrap to stabilize the heel and Champ Zarma Tour spikes with Spike-Lok technology.

I had the tempo hybrids but sent them back. The leather started cracking after 3 rounds. At first the tongue was uncomfortable but soon softened. Great looking shoes just not built to last. Back to FJ for me.

I work in golf shoe sales and we received our shipment last week. Everyone in department agrees that theses shoes are not good. They are too heavy, too rigid and are narrow to say the least. Better of going with Adidas or Ecco.

  Too Narrow and you are suggesting going with Adidas???? I am an E width and going a half size up was just fine, as far as rigidity the soles are constructed this way for a reason (look more into the product) got my Temp Tours last week and have played 2 rounds on them….I’m very satisfied from a comfort and performance standpoint
  I’m a 1 handicap and play 3-5 times per week
  
  as far as price for those commenting below….name a manufacturer whose top end shoe is much less than UA

I bought the Drive Ones last year. I was really hesitant given the price point but they are above and beyond the best shoes I’ve ever worn. They provide comfort and stability and what I find to be most important during the summer months, breathability. Not to mention, I was putting new spikes in them last week and it hit me how little wear they showed. I highly recommend them. UA makes great products.

If they are anything like they’re every day tennis shoes, they will poorly constructed, with poor engineering that results in the most uncomfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.

The prices for golf shoes are laughable, especially these. The markup from the sweatshop must be over 1000%. And they want to grow the game to the middle and lower classes. ROFL.

  They’re not. They’re extremely comfortable. At least mine last year’s limited batch are.

  Agreed. I’d love to try these but price is a but steep for UA first go round. Also need more colors. While I do love black golf shoes one can only have so many and I’m not a fan of white. Too dirty too quickly in my neck of the woods.

  Agreed on price. The premier shoe seems about right but a water resistant spikeless for $160?! No thanks, I’ll take my water proof guarenteed shoe

Equipment

A shocking Backstryke putter appearance + 7 interesting gear photos from the Zurich Classic

Published

Andrew Tursky

Welcome to New Orleans, where TPC Louisiana plays host to the 2024 Zurich Classic. In between breakfast beignets and nightly Creole feasts, PGA Tour players are also competing in the unique two-man format at the Zurich this week.

Although the vibes in Nawlins are a bit lighter-fare than the recent back-to-back competitions the Masters and the RBC Heritage signature event), the gear news was no less serious this week.

We spotted some recent changes from Rory McIlroy, a very rare Odyssey Backstryke putter, dove into the bag of legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and spotted Patrick Cantlay continuing to test new equipment.

Get your beads out and crack your crawfish, because it’s time for an equipment rundown from The Big Easy (meaning New Orleans, of course, not Ernie Els).

See all of our photos from the Zurich Classic here

Rory’s on-and-off lob wedge

Since the end of 2023, Rory McIlroy has had an on-again, off-again relationship with a Titleist Vokey K-Grind lob wedge. In his last start, it was on, and the wedge is back in the bag again this week. We got a great look at the complicated grind that McIlroy uses.

A full look into McIlroy’s bag above also shows that he switched out of the TaylorMade BRNR Mini Copper that he used at the RBC Heritage, and he’s back into the Qi10 core 3-wood. As we discussed last week, McIlroy will likely keep the BRNR around as a course-specific club, trading it in and out for the 3-wood.

Turning Back the clock

Unless Tommy Gainey is in the field, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see Odyssey’s Backstryke technology make an appearance on the PGA Tour.

But then, when you least expect it, Russ Cochran shows up.

For more than a decade – since the 2013 Sony Open in Hawai’i – Cochran has been stuck on 599 PGA Tour starts. This week will be his 600th.

Cochran is in the field at the Zurich this week playing alongside Eric Cole, whose regular caddie is Reed Cochran, Russ’s son.

The Backstryke putter was first released back in 2010, and its unique design helps shift the axis point of the putter closer to the CG of the head. And, the putter is getting a nod this week at the Zurich Classic, thanks to Cochran’s 600th career PGA Tour start.

The putter is certainly awesome, but don’t forget to check out Cochran’s full WITB from this week.

Drew Brees with a Super Bowl winning Scotty Cameron putter

Drew Brees, a legendary retired quarterback for the hometown New Orleans Saints, made an appearance at the Zurich’s Wednesday Pro-Am, playing alongside Zach Johnson, Ryan Palmer, and current Saints QB Derek Carr.

Brees’ bag included a TaylorMade Stealth2 Plus driver, a BRNR Mini 13.5-degree, a Stealth 5-wood, a mixed set of P-790 and P-760 irons, Milled Grind Hi-Toe wedges, and a custom Scotty Cameron “New Orleans Saints” putter, which Scotty made for Brees following his Super Bowl MVP-winning performance in 2010.

It should also be noted that Brees has his Venmo QR code as a bag tag.

If you’re gambling with Brees on the course, just know that not having cash won’t work as an excuse.

Brilliant.

Stricker’s unrecognizable putter

Steve Stricker has made numerous upgrades to his bag recently, including a new TSR3 driver and T100 irons, but his longtime Odyssey White Hot No. 2 putter is still going strong. It’s the most recognizable unrecognizable putter ever.

Here’s a better look at Stricker’s flatstick, which he started using back in 2007.

Patrick Cantlay has opened the equipment-switching floodgates

Over on the PGA Tour’s Equipment Report this week, we covered Cantlay’s recent switch into Ping Blueprint S irons, and a Titleist TSR2 driver.

Cantlay hadn’t switched irons for about seven years, so the iron switch he made at The 2024 Masters came as a shock to the norm. He simply isn’t one to change gear very often, so anytime Cantlay makes a switch, it’s news.

It seems the floodgates of equipment testing have opened up a bit for Cantlay, who was also spotted testing a custom Scotty Cameron blade putter on Tuesday this week. By Wednesday, Cantlay was back practicing with his familiar Scotty Cameron T5 Proto mallet, but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on going forward.

Daniel Berger’s custom Jailbird site lines

Berger, who’s currently using Odyssey’s Ai-One Mini Jailbird mallet putter, has a unique 3-dot, 2-line alignment on the crown of his navy-white-navy-white mallet putter. Looking down at the putter, it’s easy to see why this alignment system would help; it just seems impossible to set up to the ball off-center, or misaligned to the target.

Also, for anyone worried, you can rest easy. Yes, he’s still playing the 2013 TaylorMade TP MC irons, which we highlighted in our recent “Modern Classics: Old vs. New” video testing series.

FitzMagic teams back up

Brothers Matthew and Alex Fitzpatrick are teaming up once again at the Zurich this year, and Bettinardi Golf hooked them up with some festive “FitzMagic” headcovers to match this week.

See what else is in Alex Fitzpatrick’s WITB here

And, with that, we say goodbye to the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. Don’t forget to check out all of our photos from this week, including 30 unique photo galleries full of equipment photos.

We’ll see you next week in Texas for the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson!
