Rules Question for you

[freddielong]

As you may or may not know Mizuno have brought out some shoes for Europe (very nice they are to)

The shoes can be set up for a draw or fade bias, the question is, we all know you cannot alter the set up of your clubs during a round but do you think you will be able to alter the set up of your shoes ?

 

[SammmeBee]

How does a shoe help you draw or fade?

 

[Wildrover]

Sounds like a gimmick to me. I know what my mates would say if I said I was altering my shoes before playing a shot.

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

It does indeed say '..allows the grip layout to be set in a draw or fade bias':

Ha ha ha, yeah.

 

[Toby_LeRhone]

They also 'offer the potential to increase clubhead speed.'

LOL, Mizuno, sigh.

 

[freddielong]

undoutable a gimmick but they look very nice

£119!!! will pass at that price for a pair of shoes tyvm

 

[Losttheplot]

This sounds as convincing as the time Padraig Harrington changed his spikes for some new models ones and they claimed it put 6 yards on his drive.

His house drive maybe....!!!!

Several phrases come to mind

You can fool some people .....

A fool and his money ....

Emperor's new cloths ....

All the gear, no idea ...

Still, they are a pair of golf shoes I suppose.

Shame. I don't think they do any left handed ones.

 

[Leftie]

Tried to buy one of those V-thingies in left handed but couldn't find one advertised anywhere.

 

[Region3]

Will you get accused of altering them mid-round if you have to re-tie a shoelace?

They have to be made specially.
Bung me £30 and I'll get you one made in time for Christmas

 

[sev112]

April 1st.....Golf season here at last

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Normally I wouldn't comment on these things without reading about the technology but in this case...

What a load of borrocks!

Actually, unless I misread the writing, you can adjust the spikes for either a right or left handed player.

 

[surefire]

Why is there so much scepticism for these, but not for the latest, greatest driver.

They're not for me, but I appreciate that the way the body moves will affect the shot, and so if you adjust the path of least resistance bio-mechanically, the body will move in a different way. Whether the average golfers body moves in an efficient enough way already for this to have an effect is another matter.
