Improving Your Game With The Right Golf Shoes

Good golf performance is a result of precision. Precision in how your stroke cuts through the air, precision in how the face of the club contacts the ball, and precision in where your feet are placed. Any lapse in precision adds an error factor to your game that can cost you strokes, putts and even the game. This means you’ve got to take advantage of every factor available to maximize your strategy and skills. You’ve researched and bought the best clubs. You’ve spent the money on training. You’ve tested golf balls. So spending the money on your shoes, ensuring you got the right ones, is as important as your putter.

 

While most golfers are well aware that the wrong shoes will spoil your game, making sure you have the right ones is even more important. Knowing you need cleated soles is good, but making sure the cleats are going to work with you instead of against you is even more important. Another aspect no one thinks about is the golf shoe laces used to hold the shoe on your foot. Anyone who golfs tells you your stance is a major key.

 

Standard lacing systems are the same systems we had on our PF Flyers as a kid. If you pull them too tight, you get pressure point pains in your foot. Too loose, and your shoe will shift, making your shot errant because your feet aren’t placed properly. Even if you tie your shoes perfectly when you first start a hole, by the time you’ve walked to the green, the laces have shifted or loosened and your footing isn’t as precise any longer. That leads to all kinds of inconsistencies.

 

There are new lacing systems for virtually every sport, including the cyclist road bike shoe that eliminate the need to be concerned about how well your shoe fits your foot any longer. Place your foot in the shoe and crank the dial to tighten. This method distributes the pressure evenly across the foot, ensuring the shoe stays secure without having pressure points, and it also allows for minute adjustments on the fly with the slightest twist on the dial.

 

Another aspect of this lacing system is the lace itself. Fashioned from aircraft grade stainless steel, the lace is stronger than tank armor and will not stretch, meaning once the lace is properly tightened, it stays that tight, even if you have to step in the lake to hit out a water shot. The laces are water, sand, dirt and heat resistant and far more consistent than any other laces. Once the shoe is on and laced, it stays there until you take it off.

 

Regardless of the caliber of your game, whether you’re a novice or a professional, having the right shoe makes your game that much better. Having the right lacing system on that shoe means your game will be more consistent and that’s the point of precise every stroke, every game.
