Published

Puma has established itself as a household name in the golf shoe market, consistently combining the comfort, performance and style that golfers enjoy. As golf fashion has become more hip and athletic, Puma has been at the forefront of the movement. And its latest entry into the market is the Ignite shoe line, consisting of TITANTOUR Ignite, Ignite Spikeless and TITANTOUR Ignite Premium.

With its new line of shoes, Puma introduces “Ignite” foam in the midsoles, said to provide energy return, responsiveness, added comfort and cushioning.

Check out each of the models below, and visit Puma’s website for more information.

Ignite Spikeless ($120)

Spikeless shoes have become popular for golfers in recent years because of their casual comfort, both on and off the golf course. Puma’s latest, the Ignite Spikeless, incorporate the energy-responsive Ignite foam in its sole, and GripZone traction on the soles, by way of 39 hexagonal and 24 chevron-shaped spikes for multi-directional traction, according to Puma.

With a comfort collar around the top of the shoe and full-grain leather in the toe, the multi-material shoe looks cool, and promises comfort and performance, too.

They’re currently available in three color ways: (Green-White-Blue), (White, Gray, Red) and Black-Black-White).

TITANTOUR Ignite ($160)

Puma’s TITANTOUR Ignite shoes are for golfers who want a more traditional style of shoe, but they’re still packed with technology for performance and comfort. In the sole of the shoe, the shoes have Ignite foam, a thermoplastic polyurethane “PWRframe” that encases the foam — providing stability, traction and durability — and traditional spikes for those that want more stability than the spikeless offering. They also use “DuoFlex” between the spikes, supporting the movement of your foot on different terrains and during the swing.

The shoes are made with a full-grain upper, and are currently available in three color ways; (Black-White-Gray), (White-Green-Blue) and (Black-Black-Gray).

TITANTOUR Ignite Premium ($190)

Puma’s TITANTOUR Ignite Premium have all of the technology as the TITANTOUR Ignite shoes, but offer a more premium look and feel. They’re made with a full-grain, aniline leather upper, with pigskin lining and heavy gauge thread. The Ignite Premiums also have a “PWRcool” sole system powered by Outlast that regulates temperature by absorbing moisture and releasing heat.

They’re also offered in three color ways; (Brown-Brown-Brown), (White-Gray-Black) and (Beige-Gray-Green), and will be available in mid-February, according to Puma’s website.

Choose Your Driver: Which 2012 driver was your favorite?

Published

Apr 29, 2024

GolfWRX Staff

The year was 2012. Gangnam Style ruled supreme, its infectious beats and ludicrous horse-riding dance moves hypnotizing us with their stupidity. Everyone was talking about the Mayan calendar, convinced that the end of days was near. Superheroes soared on the silver screen, with the Avengers assembling in epic fashion. Katniss Everdeen survived The Hunger Games. And the memes! The memes abounded. Grumpy Cat triumphed. We kept calm and carried on.

In much the same way that automotive enthusiasts love classic cars, we at GolfWRX love taking a backward glance at some of the iconic designs of years past. Heck, we love taking iconic designs to the tee box in the present!

In that spirit, GolfWRX has been running a series inspired by arguably the greatest fighting game franchise of all time: Mortal Kombat. It’s not “choose your fighter” but rather “choose your driver.”

Check out some of the standout combatants of 2012 below.

Nike VRS

Often harshly critiqued during its years releasing golf equipment (right, Phil Mickelson?), Nike’s tenure in the club-and-ball business gets a gloss of nostalgic varnish, with many of its iron and putter designs continuing to attract admirers. Among the company’s driver offerings, the 2012 VRS — or VR_S, if you will — drew high marks for its shaping and toned-down appearance. The multi-thickness, NexCOR face was no joke either.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

Callaway RAZR Fit

Callaway’s first foray into moveable weight technology (married with its OptiFit hosel) did not disappoint. With a carbon fiber crown, aerodynamic attention to detail, and variable and hyperbolic face technologies, this club foreshadowed the tech-loaded, “story in every surface” Callaway drivers of the present, AI-informed design age.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

Cleveland Classic 310

Truly a design that came out of left field. Cleveland said, “Give me a persimmon driver, but make it titanium…in 460cc.” Our 2012 reviewer, JokerUsn wrote, “I don’t need to elaborate on all the aesthetics of this club. You’ve seen tons of pics. You’ve all probably seen a bunch in the store and held them up close and gotten drool on them. From a playing perspective, the color is not distracting. It’s dark enough to stay unobtrusive in bright sunlight…Even my playing partners, who aren’t into clubs at all…commented on it saying it looks cool.” Long live!

Titleist 910

While there’s no disputing Titleist’s “Titleist Speed” era of drivers perform better than its 2010s offerings, sentimentality abounds, and there was something classically Titleist about these clubs, right down to the alignment aid, and the look is somewhere between 983 times and the present TS age. Representing a resurgence after a disappointing stretch of offerings (907, 909), The 910D2 was a fairly broadly appealing driver with its classic look at address and classic Titleist face shape.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

TaylorMade RocketBallz

The white crown. The name. You either loved ‘em or you hated ‘em. TaylorMade’s 2012 offering from its RocketBallz Period boasted speed-enhancing aerodynamics and an Inverted Cone Technology in the club’s titanium face. Technology aside, it’s impossible to overstate what a departure from the norm a white-headed driver was in the world of golf equipment.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

Ping i20

Long a quietly assertive player in the driver space, Ping’s i20 was more broadly appealing than the G20, despite being a lower-launch, lower-spin club. Ping drivers didn’t always have looks that golfer’s considered traditional or classic, but the i20 driver bucked that trend. Combining the classic look with Ping’s engineering created a driver that better players really gravitated toward. The i20 offered players lower launch and lower spin for more penetrating ball flight while the rear 20g tungsten weights kept the head stable. Sound and feel were great also, being one of the more muted driver sounds Ping had created up to that time.
