HOLE IN ONE GOLF SHOES

Golf shoes are an important player in a round of golf just like the proper fit of clubs and balls. The variety of high-tech footwear now available makes it possible to improve your game with better-fitting shoes.

Shoes have long been nothing more than a fashion accessory, selected solely on the basis of price and design. But rarely do golfers consider how the proper, or improper, combination of foot type and shoe type affects an individual's game in terms of comfort, performance and stamina.

Multiple athletic stores break new ground here by putting more than two dozen models through a series of never-before-attempted tests, the purpose of which is to help consumers best fit themselves for two key footwear components: cushioning and flexibility.

Your feet are the foundation of your body-and your swing. All timing, distance and direction comes out of the lower body, with the feet leading the way. So any problems south of the ankles can impede timing, balance and, eventually, your score.
