3 COOL THINGS
1. Advanced traction. Pro/SLX will introduce a game-changing new traction design called the PWR TRAX System. It features a moulded 3D X-Wing that is engaged by swing forces to redistribute energy to the perimeter of the golf shoe, inspired by the wide base found in race cars to maximise perimeter stability and traction. The Race Trak Outsole with radial disc traction harnesses and extends into the ground to increase the overall traction footprint. Multiple traction elements target specific on-course conditions and around-the-course walking needs.
2. Advanced comfort. FJ’s popular StratoFoam midsole offers exceptional comfort and is specifically tuned to absorb and return energy with every step. Around the ankle is a 3D Moulded Collar that locks the foot in place for supreme comfort and a reliable, consistent fit.
3. Advanced control. The 3D X-Wing engages and provides increased stability as your swing engages the ground. An FTF+ foam surrounds the StratoFoam midsole for a stable platform and swing performance, with an exposed heel stabiliser and side wall TPU wrap that controls lateral and upper movement.
Like its predecessors, Pro/SLX golf shoes are sure to be popular at every level of the game, including on the professional Tours. They have already been worn in practice and in play by the likes of Sahith Theegala, Sungjae Im, Corey Connors and many more. “Golfers are going to be excited about the performance of the new Pro/SLX,” continued Trubiano. “It’s very comfortable, it’s very stable and it looks phenomenal.”
