Are you the type of golfer who ties and then reties your shoes several times throughout the course of a round? If you are picky about the fit and that little bit of snugness in your shoes, a BOA golf shoe could be a really good solution. Before you invest in BOA shoes, here are a few things to know and some of our favorite BOA shoes. 

What is BOA on a golf shoe?

The BOA fit is a unique technology that helps golfers (and other athletes) get the perfect fit in their shoes. Every BOA shoe has a dial that allows you to tighten or loosen the laces to achieve ideal pressure and stability. 

With BOA technology in place, it’s much easier to get your shoes on and adjust the fit while on the course. 

Are BOA golf shoes good?

BOA golf shoes are good for players who continually adjust their shoelaces. In addition, if you have some speed in your swing and your movements tend to loosen your shoes throughout a round, BOA golf shoes are a good choice. BOA golf shoes combine comfort, performance and practicality. 

BOA Golf Shoes To Try 

If you are ready to make the leap into the BOA golf shoe technology, here are a few pairs to try and some of our results when we tested them.

The Problem

Taking videos of your swing to help you improve and see what changes need to be made is one of the ways golfers can improve. But it is not a straightforward process. Asking a friend or someone at the range to take a video or awkwardly setting your phone up against your bag or on the ground can make it tough to find the right framing and consistency in your videos. 

The Solution

The SelfieGOLF phone holder! A dual- or even triple-clip device that works with your phone, bag, clubs and more to ensure setup is simple and easy to get perfect framing every time. 

Selfie Golf – How I Found It

A while back, I made an “Improve My Swing” thread on the MyGolfSpy Forum and posted videos and photos of my swing for the community to provide feedback on. In all of those photos and videos, I used a classic bendy tripod. It worked fine but setup was always awkward and, more often than not, I had an angle that was too low or I was having to spend too much time going back and forth adjusting the angle to frame the shot correctly. 

In an effort to better this experience and process, off I went to Amazon to see what was there. 

The SelfieGOLF phone holder popped up top of the list with a ton of reviews and at a reasonable price of $29.99. Seemed to be worth a shot so an order was placed and a little SelfieGOLF box arrived.

This is the third in a Series of simple adjustments that you should explore to improve your game. Your swing thoughts need to be embedded deep in your brain so that you don’t hash them out every time you setup for your next shot. Own your unique setup for each of your clubs to create a consistent swing and consistent results.

Your setup and takeaway timing is extremely critical for the success of your swing. After you stand behind your ball and choose your target line, pick a point in the grass within 3 feet from your ball. From that point forward you can isolate yourself within your own CUBE like Wyndham Clark at the 2023 US Open . Learn to believe in the success of the shot that you are about to make. If you complete the perfect setup and proper swing with the right club you can only expect excellence.

Easier said than done. Clark did it, almost to perfection but it was good enough to beat the best in the golf world. You have made perfect shots to the perfect location so why can’t you do this every time? It just takes a little focus on what works best for your strength, flexibility and mental attitude.

The perfect setup stance: An athletic stance with a bend at your hips, a straight back & neck and a limited bend of your knees with the right spread of your feet (unique for each club). Right-handed golfers should add a clockwise rotation for your leading and trailing elbows to simplify shallowing your club in your backswing. It’s up to you to choose the pro who you want to emulate for the power that you want to generate.

The right grip for each club is a light grip which is nesting across the base of your fingers. This allows your driver and iron swings to release fully through impact. Your putter grip should be a preference for each golfer, but you can’t afford to be guiding your putt with your wrists and fingers. Swing your putter by using your spine to rotate your shoulders.
