FootJoy introduces three new Pro/SL shoes

Published

on

FootJoy is introducing a new version of its Pro/SL shoe, with three new models available now and three more to come in January.

The new Pro/SL, which the company calls “the hottest shoe in golf,” features an expected waterproof leather upper, but the more intriguing technology is contained in a three-layer midsole/outsole system. It features Fine-Tuned Foam (FTF), which is 10 percent lighter than conventional EVA foam, according to FootJoy.

FootJoy emphasizes both the comfort and stability, as well as the traction benefits of 223 individual points of ground contact. An exploded view of the system below.

On Tour, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter, Kevin Na, Charley Hoffman, Peter Uihlein, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Smith and Andrew “Beef” Johnston, among others, sport the shoes, says FootJoy.

“Of all the shoes I’ve worn throughout my career, these are by far the most comfortable,” said Ian Poulter. “I get great grip in wet and dry conditions, plus with the BOA system, I can dial in the fit and comfort to get exactly what I want.”

Styles ($175 Laced, $210 BOA)

  • White navy red laced
  • White/silver laced
  • Black/silver BOA
  • Grey/white laced (1/15/19)
  • Black/black laced (1/15/19)
  • White/indigo BOA (1/15/19)

    Its a sucker that the BOA version only comes in black. Otherwise I like them – need to replace my first gen pair finally.

    I personally preferred the look of the previous model…Stock up while they are on sale…not much else apart from the styling seemed to have changed.

    My latest, I mean last pair of Footjoys, had a bumpy sole that hurt my feet right through the insole. No more for me.

      From experience they have a pretty good customer service department…Tell them and you’ll probably be able to switch to a new one.

    I want to like these shoes but Footjoy loves to make the narrowest toebox area of any manufacture.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
