What is Forum Member Testing?

MyGolfSpy offers all its community members a unique opportunity to test, review and keep a variety of different golf equipment, apps, apparel and more. Successful candidates are selected by forum staff.

Members who are selected interact, engage and write a review on the specific product while enjoying the fun of trying new gear!

Member testing is vital because it gets gear in the hands of you, the golfer. Our members give honest feedback on how any product or service works for a variety of handicaps and abilities to ensure our readers are even more informed when making purchasing decisions.

To learn more about how testers are selected, go to this forum thread: Want to be a tester?

The Testing Opportunity

One of our first testing opportunities of 2023 was for the Red Rooster Sussex Premium Golf Glove. At the time of testing, this glove had not been released to retail and was available only to our selected members and a handful of beta testers for Red Rooster.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried: FootJoy Hyperflex Carbon Wide Golf Shoes

Your Thick Kick Tester

Dave Wolfe– Though I mainly talk about putters, I also have feet so wide that I will never accidentally step through a sewer grate.

Do Footjoy Hyperflex Carbon Golf Shoes bring joy for wide feet?

Greetings, big-footed brethren. Sisteren, too, I suppose as some of you also have “enhanced” foot widths. Although I am specifically reviewing the men’s version of the HyperFlex Carbon shoe, FootJoy also makes the women’s HyperFlex in wide widths so some of my findings should apply to you as well.

(I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that the spectacular white/purple women’s color scheme should also be available in men’s models.)

Anyway, this is the second FootJoy model I have crammed my fat foot into this year. You may remember the two pairs of custom MyJoys that I reviewed a few weeks back. Wait, if that was two pairs, maybe the FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon wide golf shoes are my third pair of wide shoes tested. Oh, math, how adoringly confusing you are.
