Johnny Wunder visited the FootJoy Lab at the Titleist Performance Center and learned why finding the right shoe is more important than you think.
Properly fitted golf shoes with adequate traction and structure prevent foot slippage and preserve swing speed, according to equipment testing conducted at FootJoy. Slipping even a few millimeters during a downswing forces golfers to subconsciously compensate, disrupting hip rotation and leading to a loss of power and consistency.
Testing multiple models, including the FootJoy Premier Series and ProSL, revealed that dropping down a half size into an accurately fitted shoe generated a two-mile-per-hour gain in swing speed, which translates to roughly three yards of additional carry distance.
