If it ain’t broke … Well, you know how the saying goes. However, if you are going to fix something, it better be worth it.

Today, G/FORE released the G/LOCK Gallivanter, a new iteration of their popular Gallivanter golf shoe. But the brand known for its disruptive take on golf shoes didn’t rewrite the playbook here. They focused on making two big performance attributes better: stability and traction.

The change comes by way of the addition of the Softspikes Tour Flex Pro cleat, a first for G/FORE. The original Gallivanter was billed as a spikeless golf shoe whereas the new G/Lock Gallivanter is a full-on spiked shoe.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705 .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_65b291a794705' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

G/FORE just took their best-known golf shoe and made it better.

The tried-and-true Galivanter silhouette should see increased performance in stability and traction thanks to the proven Tour Flex Pro cleat from Softspikes. According to a survey from MacNeil Engineering, nearly 82 percent of professionals on the PGA Tour wear Softspikes and 94 of the last 100 major championships were won by players wearing Softspike cleats.

I have finally come to grips with the fact that we should be swinging our driver harder for more distance. I have always tried to swing at 80% in order to control direction, but 220-yard drives are not going to cut it if you want to hit more greens in regulation. You need to get close to give yourself a better chance to hit the green with shorter irons which should be swung at no more than 80% for better direction and distance control.

Recent blogs helped me understand the importance of “Supercharging” my driver shots. One of the staff at the SI GOLF blog, Ryan Barath, said you don’t need to try to direct your drive, just pick your spot and trust your shot shape. Swing as hard and fast as you can to a balanced finish.

Danny Maude released a driver lesson that he had with James Tait (a World Long Driver Champion). He suggested: When you are chasing a faster swing, hit “hard”, expect longer shots with less direction control. With practice you will develop freedom in your swing and control to power the ball up your target line.

1/ Setup with your tee higher and your club shaft in line with your straight leading arm (not leaning forward).

2/ Loosen up by shifting your weight and waggling with your arms and wrist. Shift your weight to your trailing foot during your backswing (but don’t sway back). You need momentum in your backswing as you would when winding up to push off with your trailing leg to throw a medicine ball.
