What We Tried:

FootJoy Pro/SLX BOA – the latest version of FootJoy’s flagship spikeless golf shoe.

Who Tried It:

Tony. Editorial Director at MyGolfSpy and a firm believer that spikes are the way.

Aesthetics

Because this is a BOA design, let’s get this out of the way first.

Frankly, it’s silly we have to talk about this stuff, given that golf shoes serve an actual purpose. (FYI, that purpose isn’t to make you feel like you’re trendy AF, Connor.) That said, for those who are oft offended by the modern design and superior performance of BOA-enabled designs, I suspect the FootJoy Pro/SLX will be among the least objectionable.

The Pro/SLX offers a single BOA dial and a simple design that looks more like laces than the flaps systems found in many recent models. Frankly, if FootJoy and BOA had seen fit to thread the TX6 textile lace underneath or maybe even through a traditional lace, heel dial notwithstanding, not even Jacques Slade would likely notice.

The T Squared line of putters has been generating buzz in the golfing community. This article summarizes the experiences of our MyGolfSpy Forum members chosen to test these putters.

About T Squared Putters

T Squared Putters was founded by Tony Tuber in Orchard Park, N.Y. The company was established with the goal of creating high-quality, precision-engineered putters that offer a high level of customization. T Squared Putters allow golfers to choose from various finishes, weights and alignment aids to create a putter tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

T Squared Putters performed impressively in MyGolfSpy’s Most Wanted testing, particularly excelling in the category for 10-foot putts where their putters were noted for their accuracy and consistency. This recognition has helped T Squared gain credibility and popularity within the golfing community. For more information, visit the T Squared Putters website.

Appearance

The T Squared TS-912 putter was praised for its aesthetics. Testers highlighted its sleek and modern design, with Dan Underwood noting that the putter’s appearance alone was a major selling point. The customization options also received positive feedback, allowing golfers to tailor the putter to their personal style and preferences, which is a rare feature in the market today.

“I love the sleek, modern design of the TS-912. It’s a real head-turner on the green.” — Dan Underwood​

Q: You guys have been testing golf balls for a long time. What’s the worst ball you’ve tested?

It’s actually one that we tested recently, Snell Prime 3. 0.

Dean probably has one of the best pedigrees for golf ball design. He was one of the co-inventors of the Pro V1, which is the most popular golf ball of all time.

When he first launched with MTBX, it was a hit, right? It tested well for us, but he had to move factories. More than once. Anybody can make a golf ball really good one time. The difference is, can you make that same golf ball a million times as good as one? The Snell ball finished 13 out of 100. It is by far the worst scoring golf ball that we’ve ever had at MyGolfSpy.

There’s two ways we test golf balls at MyGolfSpy. There’s performance and there’s quality control. Performance here is robot tested. Quality control is what we do here called Ball Lab. We have a lot of fancy machinery that can test diameter, weight, all those things to make sure people are making the same ball over and over and over.

Labor Day may mark the unofficial end of the summer but we won’t let it mark the end of the golf season. There are still many rounds to be played and if you need some new golf gear to get you through the rest of 2024, now is the time to stock up. Here are seven great Labor Day deals worth checking out.

Perry Ellis

The Perry Ellis sale for Labor Day features 40 percent off clearance items with code PERRY40. We took a quick look through some of the clearance items and found the ICON Polo. 

The ICON comes in over a dozen colors and features built-in moisture-wicking technology. You’ll also find the Stretch Solid Tech Short. It’s on sale for $34.97 (before you even put in the 40 percent off code).

Code Needed: PERRY40

Golf Apparel Shop

The golf apparel shop is running a long Labor Day event. The entire website is on sale for half off. This is a great spot for men’s and women’s golf deals. The PGA Tour Apparel Women’s AirFlux Solid Short Sleeve Polo comes in seven colors and is priced as low as $15. 

For men, the PGA Tour Apparel Men’s Heather Feeder Stripe Golf Polo is only $27. The clearance section at Golf Apparel Shop isn’t huge but if you can find something in your size, they offer 40 percent off clearance as part of this Labor Day event.

Each week, we will highlight a WITB from a MyGolfSpy Forum member. Have an interesting bag or want to be highlighted? Share your WITB here.

To kick off this series, we have what may be the most interesting bag of any member on the Forum. I say this because the L.A.B. DF2.1 may be the most “normal” club in his bag.

Let’s get into it.

Driver: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max D

About the club: EasyPutter was one of our members selected to test the AI Smoke Max D and it proved worthy of staying in the bag, for now, as he still has a love-hate relationship with it.

Hybrid: Tommy Armour 19-degree 3-Hybrid

About the club: This club was a gift from the PGA Western NY Section Headquarters at the conclusion of the program in August 2019. The Tommy Armour hits nice and straight off both grass and a short tee, with distances in the 160- to 185-yard range.
