Course ban on Adidas Adizero shoes....

[Blue in Munich]

They are not from the spikes - someone has collected ice on the spikes and they have made the indents

Basically someone doesn't realise the need to knock the ice off

But the greens are prob very soft

Well there were three of us playing on Boxing Day, there was no ice, only one was wearing Adizero's and only one of us was leaving marks. And if I am not leaving a mark on the greens, and I wasn't, then they are not unduly soft. The design means that the pressure is transmitted via 6 points rather than the entire sole, hence the issues.

New model....

Surely its how heavy you are that makes a difference? I am sure a 19 stone foot stomper will be more damaging than a flyweight.

Umm not sure what to make of them - then again I wasn't that overly fond of the Adizeros when they first came out. Hope they don't go too flashy

We played in spain last month, greens had been watered and we started to notice spike marks as we left greens ( we were first group out). We assumed the marks were let by Jim, 6'8" and 25 stone. But then noticed it was billy leaving them 13/14 stone. Guess what Billy had on his feet.

I'll take a risky punt and say golf shoes?

WTF are those things !

I was talking to pro before Xmas and they were saying the same that Adizero are ruining the greens, really noticable difference. I found it slightly ironic given they had a sale on them and probably supplied the offending shoes.

This!

Yup, was done by a french lad that plays early morning ... pics taken not long after

Ban the French!

My adipure's ice up a ridiculous amount when it's frosty, it's a right pain in the hole bashing ice off them every few minutes.. Thinking about getting some of those Ecco biom hybrids with rubber nubbins on the bottom. Anybody have any experience of them in winter? What's the traction like?

Got some footjoy spikeless and some Ashworth spikeless - both grip ok.

I have the biom hybrids and they don't give a good grip when going up or down any kind of hill when its wet or icy. So I change to spikes in the winter. They also took a long time to break in.

I found the Ashworth Cardiffs to be very slippy when the ground got soft and wet

 

[Stuey01]

Well that plan's out the window then. There's a few points on my course where I've nearly gone arse over tit even with spikes.

The new ones

If the first design is being banned at clubs and
the new design hasn't addressed the problem why does anyone
want to spend another £130 on the new ones?
News of the problems obviously didn't reach their designers😄

And FJ have released new shoes along the same sort of design.

Possibly the problem isn't as bad as being made out

it's a perceived problem I think, and appears to be only by a few and on soft greens. I've stated before my FJ's have caused similar marks and the Adizeros I now have don't.

My Nikes leave a mark .. may not be down to the shoes tho
