New Spike, New Shoe

gwar01_spikes_0130.jpg

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A trend among golf shoes is thinner outsoles, bringing them lower to the ground. The idea is, the lower to the ground you are the more stability you'd have during your swing.

But one thing has stopped outsoles from reaching their ideal thinness: spike receptacles. So PrideSports has released a new spike system with a receptacle that is about 20 percent shorter than the receptacle in the popular Fast Twist system. Called Performance Insert System (PINS), the shorter spike allows the outsole of the shoe to be thinner. All Adidas shoes this year will have this new spike.
