Great option for custom kicks
I’ve been playing in rubber bottom golf shoes for the past 3 seasons. Previously, I had only ever used traditional spikes for golfing, so the rubber soles were an ehhh transition. I was looking to get back to traditional spikes this season, but was struggling to find any golf shoes that I liked for a reasonable price. Conveniently, an advertisement for golf kicks graced my Instagram several weeks ago (go figure), so I skeptically decided to give them a try. I figured worst case scenario I wasted $35 and have a ruined pair of tennis shoes.<br /><br />The results exceeded my expectations. Now I haven’t played in traditional spikes for years, but these seem to give pretty incredible traction/grip throughout my entire swing. My lead foot was rotating in my rubber golf shoes, and now I’m able to keep it perfectly planted throughout my entire follow through, allowing for much more consistent and straighter shots overall.<br /><br />In terms of durability, which I was most concerned about with these DIY spikes, I have played 36 holes thus far in various weather conditions and have yet to lose a single spike. I did use shoe goo as recommended by the company, and that seems to have helped ensure the spikes don’t fall out. If these hold up for me throughout the season, I reckon I will be getting several more pairs for future custom golf kick projects.<br /><br />Installation was simple in theory, but did require quite a bit of force to manually screw in the spikes. I do not own a drill, but would recommend using one if you do have one.
