FootJoy unveils Tour X golf shoe: Experience Max Performance
FootJoy has launched its latest shoe for 2020—the Tour X, designed for maximum stability, performance and comfort.
The new addition from FootJoy features the brand’s PowerPlate outsole which is the most stable outsole in the company’s range and aims to provide players with maximum ground coverage and stability to allow for effective transfer power throughout the swing.
The PowerPlate midsole/outsole system also features a full TPU layer with 9 LaunchPods – designed to offer ultimate stability and increased surface area coverage.
The Tour X golf shoe contains the company’s PowerStrap system which aims to deliver medial and lateral support to provide players with exceptional midfoot control. At the same time, the molded TPU strap works with reinforced PowerEyelets in design to allow players to pull tight and lockdown to maintain a stable, balanced foundation.
PGA Tour professional, Kevin Kisner will wear the new FootJoy addition in 2020 and had this to say on the shoe’s features
“This is a powerful shoe with a strong, stable foundation that allows me to max out my swing speed while staying locked to the ground”
Featuring inside the shoe is an OrthoLite Impressions FitBed, comprised of two densities of foam which are designed for added comfort. According to the company, an Open Cell PU Foam helps maintain its mechanical properties and cushion throughout its life cycle, while the Impressions Foam takes an impression of your foot, creating a custom fit.
The Tour X also features a 3D Molded Collar and Tour-Spec Stretch Tongue designed to provide added comfort and breathability.
The fully waterproof shoes are constructed of leather by Pittards of England for a soft, supple feel.
The Tour X arrives in White/Blue/Lime Laced, White/Red Laced, Black/Black/Lime Laced,White/Silver/Red BOA, and cost $220.00 Laced and $250.00 BOA and are available to purchase now at FootJoy.com.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Tried them on this weekend and really wanted to love them. They still have such a narrow toe box, even on the wide versions. Just need a little more wiggle room and I have to buy a size up to get it.
