2023 UA Shoe Line?

I hope you don’t mean Under Armour because I’d rather walk on nails. You can’t tell me you think the Jordan Speith golf shoes look appealing. 

Sadly I do. They have been the only shoe I’ve had that havent destroyed my heals with blisters

Are you referring to the old Spieth shoes? He's been wearing the Hovr Drive 2 the entire 2022 season and as recent as the Tournament of Champions. I find it a little more interesting that there was never a UA Spieth golf shoe for the 2022 season.

 

I noticed something weird with the UA Golf shoe line. There was a big timing gap between the UA Hovr Drive and Hovr Drive 2 release. And when the 2022 products were released inventory was slim to none and categorically very little options. The Wide version of the Hovr Drive 2 released first, and then 6 months later the standard size was available for purchase.

 

UA has been shrinking and losing a lot of market share as an overall business. So I wonder if the golf line is feeling that impact. I don't see much marketing, the product line has shrunk significantly, and the release cycle isn't consistent and doesn't make sense.

 

Anyway the original Hovr Drive was the best golf shoe I've worn in a long time. Hovr Drive 2 was a step back and the fit was incredibly different. Hopefully 2023 sees some improvement.

I heard the UA made the decision to discontinue the spieth shoe line as of last season. The comment made by a sales rep to my local course was that tiger woods is the only golf pro with their own line of golf shoes and no other golfer moves the needle enough in terms of golf shoe sales to warrant their own pro model.

Agreed, had the Hovr Drives and they were so good...material was s*** and it started to bubble which was wierd but amazing for my heels. I just got myself some Ecco Biom H4s... having to get used to not having spikes any longer but no real issues. They have two insoles so taking the one out makes it deep on the heel side - might be worth a try? My heel shred ALL shoes - its an ongoing battle...can def empathize

Stopped by the pga tour superstore today to do some browsing. Noticed they had these. They didn’t have a size 12, but they did have a 11.5. Had to try it on and I can say they fixed the width issue with these. They felt great width wise but I needed the size 12 for length. Other than not being quite long enough I could tell they are going to be very comfortable. I haven’t seen them anywhere online yet, not even on the pga tour superstore website.

Agree MoneyShot. I just took a few bags of shoes and clothes to a non-profit to donate and it was mostly UA stuff. No more UA stuff in the rotation for golf other than the Texas Tech stuff I have. It is FootJoy, Travis Matthew, Stitch, Peter Millar and GFore for me. I wear Jordans and FootJoy shoes now.
