Golf shoes need to be replaced on a regular basis to ensure proper performance and wearer health. The general consensus is that athletic shoes need to be replaced every 200-500 miles. If you don’t equate golf shoes with athletic shoes, consider that a golfer can easily walk hundreds of miles per year, not to mention the twisting and stress on the shoe from swinging, uneven terrain, and weather extremes. Having fancy clubs and expensive training will be wasted if you can’t get a grip, stay balanced, and transfer your energy to the ball. Plus, if you’re going to be on your feet for hours and want to stay focused, the last thing you need is aching feet or shoe problems. Do your feet - and your golf game - a favor and replace your worn out golf shoes with a new pair. Keep reading for detailed information and shoe comparison. Read the rest of this entry »

Nike Golf has launched a new lightweight golf shoe — Air Zoom Vapor — that weighs just 13.8 ounces. The Air Zoom Vapor sets a new standard for lightweight golf shoes but doesn’t skimp of features or quality. In fact, the Air Zoom Vapors feature a one-piece, waterproof microfiber upper to keep feet dry, both from external and internal moisture. The shoes also feature a full length chassis for greater stability and durability, and Nike’s Zoom Air unit in the heel for lightweight, low-profile cushioning and excellent lateral stability. Rounding out the feature set is Nike’s Power Platform Ultra that manages weight transfer and balance to ensure that all your effort isn’t wasted. Read the rest of this entry »

Traveling with golf clubs is often necessary but rarely enjoyed. Clubs are precision instruments that must be protected, so if you’re planning a trip don’t forget to include a travel golf bag or travel golf case. Whether you’re driving to a neighboring golf course or flying to a distant country, having the right travel bag to protect and securely carry your golf clubs and gear is a priority. Without a travel bag, your clubs are likely to be damaged, lost, stolen, or otherwise put in harms way. And let’s not forget about your balls, tees, hats, shoes, and other necessities — all of which can be stored in a travel bag. Proper planning, and the right travel bag, will mean more space in your carry on, less worry, and having your gear arrive in great condition.

Falling leaves and shorter days can mean the end of golfing - but it doesn’t have to. In fact, golfing during the off-season is typically cheaper and less crowded; you can also spend more time working on a shot or tweaking your swing without slowing the pace of play. The biggest challenge of winter golf is figuring out what to wear. No, not deciding between striped or argyle polos, but making sure your clothing is capable of keeping you comfortable in winter conditions. With a little effort now you can put together a clothing system that allows you to golf as the temperature drops, when the wind picks up, or even as precipitation dampens the course. So I’ve created a guide to make sure you’ve got the right clothing from head to toe: gloves, hat, sunglasses, base layer, outer layer, pants, socks, and shoes. Read the rest of this entry »

When a golfer is looking for a new driver they typically look for a few main attributes to build the perfect club. Loft, shaft stiffness, tip flex and head design are all major factors in a golfers decision making process. After a proper fitting, the golfer should have the ideal driver for the perfect day of golf. The problem is that not every day is the perfect day of golf. While your ideal driver may work well in some conditions, it may work against you in others. Callaway I-Mix technology will virtually eliminate conditional factors off the tee.

How many of you out there are still holding on to wedges that are over 5 years old? I would be willing to bet that about half of you are. I also bet that if I asked why you haven’t changed them recently your answer would be, “because they still work well.” A lot of golfers stick with their wedges for a long time because they are comfortable with them and the shots they make feel good. But the big question is do they still perform well after all those years? Read the rest of this entry »

Hybrid clubs have been a growing trend in the golfing world because they are highly touted for being a very easy to hit club. In my experience with hybrids this is true, they do seem to be easy to hit and many other people will tell you the same thing. In the case of the high handicapper or the golfer who can’t hit their long irons well, a hybrid is a great solution no doubt. But why should low handicappers or players who regularly use long irons consider a hybrid? Read the rest of this entry »
