Get to golfin’ in your Air Force Ones

Published

on

When Nelly got to stompin’ in his Air Force Ones in 2002, he turned a street classic Nike shoe, first released in 1982, into something of an icon. And whether you wanted it or not, it’s become a thing to turn iconic basketball and street shoes into golf shoes.

Golf’s version of Nike’s classic Air Force 1, called the Lunar Force 1 G, is the latest entry in the trend, launched by Nike for release on April 1 for $140.

The Lunar Force I G shoes have what Nike calls Lunarlon cushioning, and a waffle-tread Integrated Traction for stability throughout the swing.

    “Chrome on the fat laces with that wood on the inside spray candy on the swoosh with electric poofs.”

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 Mk II irons

Published

on

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
