Golfers spend hours and thousands of dollars ensuring their golf clubs and ball are perfectly dialed. So, why don\u2019t they devote the same care and thought to a piece of equipment they use on every single shot?<\/p>\n
We\u2019re talking about your golf shoes.<\/p>\n
On this week\u2019s episode of GOLF\u2019s Fully Equipped, co-host Jake Morrow sat down with Arccos CEO Sal Syed<\/a> and discussed the possibility that the shot-tracking app could soon be able to offer you analytical guidance on which type of shoes you perform best in.<\/p>\n \u201cConsciously or subconsciously, there\u2019s a performance angle to everything in golf, which I actually didn\u2019t recognize, either,\u201d Syed said.<\/p>\n That could mean your choice of outerwear, pants or, yes, shoes \u2014\u00a0with the Arccos app potentially tracking if a piece of apparel is affecting your game.<\/p>\n Syed said he tested five rounds using spiked shoes<\/a> versus five rounds with spikeless shoes<\/a>. In the spiked shoes, he said, he saw an 0.8 strokes-gained improvement in his driving.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re less comfortable with some of the other cushiony shoes that I wear, but I always put them on when I know I have to perform,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Being able to isolate strokes gained for golf shoes isn\u2019t yet a feature Arccos has made available<\/a>, but it shows the possibilities for the technology. It also show how something seemingly as insignificant as shoe choice can, in fact, make a difference in your game.<\/p>\n For more from Morrow and Syed, listen to the\u00a0full episode of GOLF\u2019s Fully Equipped here<\/a>, or watch it below.<\/p>\n Want to overhaul your bag in 2026?\u00a0Find a club-fitting location near you at True Spec Golf.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n “><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golfers spend hours and thousands of dollars ensuring their golf clubs and ball are perfectly dialed.
