i agree, i have had my left foot slip out on me too many times. Usually its when I wear my FootJoys. I find the higher end shoes seem to slip less or not at all. Which is why I'm a big fan of the Adipure's.
Do the tour pro's still wear metal? (except for Fred Couples and Ernie Els who wear Skechers or whatever metrosexual looking shoe they wear, no hate on the metro's just sayin.)

I have limited options (13.5-14 size foot) but I came across these:

Seems like a good deal, but I've looked around for reviews and I can't really find any and they seem to be discontinued. Thoughts?
Ha, I was actually planning on doing that, but I gave a bunch of clothes and shoes to Goodwill and I forgot I put a pair Nikes in the bag. Only other sports shoe I have is a pair of Zigtechs and I use those for the gym.

I've never owned a pair of Ecco's (I'm a golf shoe whore too) but all my friends who have them like them a lot. I dont know about that particular model but the ones I have seen are always selling for $150+

anyone here play/try the mizuno mp 53s? I know the MP line is geared to highly skilled players, but i was reading some reviews and apparently the 53s offer some level of forgiveness, just wondering how they would compare to a straight up blade or game improvement iron

Sweet. I've never done any competitions before, so I don't know how I'll fare. If I advance through locals then I'll probably get a new 48" driver. Right now my swing speed is in the 135-140 mph range, but I've ordered something called the ultimate swing trainer, which lots of pros have apparently been using recently. Anyways if I can get to 145 mph then I ought to be pretty competitive.
Got any tips/exercises/drills I can use to get faster? I have a VERY weak left side (right handed golfer) from head to toes. I believe if I can get my left side stronger/more stable then that would help significantly.PRs:

One thing I have learned about long drive is you CAN'T teach it. It has to be in you already lol. But the only tips I can give is make sure the swing is on plane so you can somewhat keep it in the grid, and also try to create as much lag as possible. Try and hold that club head off as long as you can to create the lag, but again everyone is different.
Maurice just set teh world record for swing speed at 165 mph, and his ball speed is something like 230 mph (not exactly sure on this number). Its ****ign stupid fast lol

The good thing about blades is the feedback you get. You know when you hit it off the toe or thin and you can work on that at your next practice session. Cavity backs now are way too forgiving so you don't always know you are hitting it off the toe. I had a set when I first started out and let someone talk me into buying some DCI 962's which are good clubs but not as much feed back as the blades.
I play Tommy Armour 845's and my complaint is workability of the ball. With the other clubs I could put a fade or draw as needed with some predictability with these an attempted draw turns into a block right. It may have more to do with the ball Pro V1 than the club.Coffee Crew: Bold Black Crew

have you played with him? what does he shoot at your course compared to what you do on avg? I have a friend on the tour who generally will shoot mid 60's in his sleep in a "recreational round" at the average 135-140 slope course. generally doesnt make the cut but had a good weekend in Houston.
Which reminds me I may be caddying for him in a couple months. I'll rep the golf misc if I can find a way to do it.

Hunter Mahan saved my ass in fantasy and I was able to hang on to fifth by a thread...and I had no A players starting. I have to remember to set my lineup from now on, I was close to catching the top group until last weekend.
