WE TRIED IT: Duca Del Cosma JL1 Golf Shoes
WHAT WE TRIED
THE TESTERS
Hi, I’m Chris, a golf-obsessed member of the MyGolfSpy team. As the Director of Business Development, I generally work as a conduit between our staff and golf companies. I also spend a fair bit of time in my hot tub collecting thoughts on equipment or other golf topics. And, like many of you, I grew up during the era when “it’s gotta be the shoes” meant something.
Hi, I’m Harry and I am a professional golf product tester. (Yes, they exist.) I test a lot of things at MyGolfSpy and play professionally when I’m not checking and comparing specs on gloves, rangefinders, bags, ball retrievers, etc.
You can call me the Director of Product Testing here at MGS. You can also just call me Harry. That’s fine, too.
WHY ARE WE TRYING IT?
Duca Del Cosma is a leader in Italian golf shoe design. Founded in 2004 by Baldovino Mattiazzo and Antje Elle, the objective of Duca Del Cosma is to produce golf footwear that is equal parts stylish and functional. Duca is working to break into the U.S. market dominated by brands such as FootJoy, adidas and NIKE. Duca’s European aesthetic might not be for everyone but they do have some great styles.

Norman Wonders If Governing Bodies Are A "Cabal"
The charm of the seaside courses of Great Britain lies in their multiformity, their unconventionality, their infinite variety. There are eighteen holes, and the yardage is up to standard, but comparison largely ends there. The terrain itself has an individuality all its own. In its uneven diversity, its tumbling irregularity, its unrivaled originality, links-land bears no resemblance to any other territory. ROBERT HUNTER
