Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO launches two new golf shoe models by Asics: the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa
Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO in partnership with Asics has unveiled two brand-new golf shoe models: the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa.
The new additions from Asics are built with inspiration from the brand’s running shoes and aim to deliver maximum comfort and flexibility while providing ultimate traction and stability.
The Gel-Course Duo Boa model features the Boa lacing system for fast, precise fitting through a quick adjusting dial to tighten or loosen the lacing. The shoes are fully waterproof and contain a traction sole pattern with seven spikes.

The Gel-Course Glide shoe is an alternative spikeless version with standard laces designed to provide golfers with versatility on and off the course.

Both the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa feature an air mesh which aims to offer excellent flexibility during the swing and while walking the golf course. The company’s FlyteFoam technology is designed to provide lightweight shock absorption and exceptional durability in each shoe.
Speaking on the new golf shoes, Mike Powell, President of Sales and Marketing at Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO, stated
“I’m excited to introduce ASICS golf footwear into the U.S. golf market with the Gel-Course Glide and Gel Course Duo Boa models. Asics is a huge global sports brand and widely recognized as the leader in performance footwear.
They have a rich heritage of innovation and product quality and align with our values as a company. These two models will appeal to golfers that enjoy an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle and love the performance and comfort that Asics is famous for.”

According to the company, the spikes are placed precisely to provide maximum stability and traction while walking the course through an FG traction sole pattern, while the Asics Rearfoot GEL brand technology provides cushioning which aims to reduce impact and increases shock absorption. The shoes also contain Toe and Lateral rubber wraps which look to help players maintain balance throughout the golf swing

Both new additions also include an air mesh at vamp with an integrated quarter panel designed for a supportive fit, with an internal molded heel counter in a bid to offer optimal foot support. The shoes contain additional ankle padding which looks to help create a custom fit that adapts to every move

The Gel-Course Duo Boa model MSRP for $179.99 and are offered in men’s Sizes 6-12, and 13. The shoe comes in three different color codes – Black/Gunmetal, White/Peacoat, and Peacoat/Pure Silver.
The Gel-Course Glide shoes MSRP for $129.99 and are offered in men’s (6-12, 13) and women’s (6-10) sizes. The men’s edition come in four different color codes – Black/Silver, White/Polar Shade, Polar Shade/Black, and Blue/White. The women’s Gel Course Glide shoes come in two different color codes – Metropolis/White and Orchid/White.

Both new additions from Asics are available at authorized golf shops and golf specialty retailers across North America, as well as online at Srixon.com/Asics beginning today.
Equipment
Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.

Srixon is owned by the same parent company asics is, theyre not ‘in conjunction’ they are the same company.
Theyve been doing golf shoes for a long time (just ebay asics golf shoes). Excellent quality but very Japanese in design.
