Stability is top priority for Footjoy
FootJoy continue to rise to the top against competition
FootJoy, the #1 Shoe and Glove in Golf, recently completed an extensive test of several leading footwear products used on the PGA Tour. Results indicated that FootJoy offer the best stability in their shoes, a fact that is supported by the 60%+ of PGA Tour players putting their trust in FootJoy footwear.
FootJoy’s advanced development team works with its worldwide network of Tour players, leading biomechanical experts, and staff at the Titleist Performance Institute. The goal is to continuously develop and re-establish new standards for performance footwear. “A key indicator of platform stability is force platform testing, which effectively measures the amount of ground force created by the right foot (for the right-handed golfer) in the direction of the ball flight during the golf swing,” said Doug Robinson, Vice President of Design & Development Worldwide, FootJoy. “Higher results indicate that more power is transferred by the back foot from the top of the backswing through impact and follow-through.”
Utilising an outside biomechanical expert and low handicap test subjects, FootJoy tested several leading footwear products using the force platform. The test results indicated that the SYNR-G™, DryJoys® and recently launched FJ SPORT™ golf shoe models outperform other shoes on the market by a significant margin.
“We’re very pleased with the results of the force platform test” said Robinson. “It’s gratifying to validate our relentless efforts to satisfy the best players in the world. They look to FootJoy to constantly lead, innovate and make the best performing product. Using Padraig Harrington’s own words, our shoes clearly ‘do the job’ better.”
Introduced in January 2009, SYNR-G golf shoes became an instant success on Tour. Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, Michael Hoey and Jerry Kelly all won wearing SYNR-G shoes. In addition, dozens of others, including Padraig Harrington, enjoy its performance and comfort week in, week out. SYNR-G is constructed with an ultra-supportive tri-density TPU outsole and an exclusive tri-lateral stability frame. Comfort is enhanced with memory foam around the collar and under the tongue, which also optimises fit and stabilises the foot inside the shoe.
Whether it is the all-round excellence of the all new FJ ICON, the unrivalled stability of the SYNR-G, or the reliable and consistent performance of DryJoys, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
