NCG TESTS: FootJoy XPS-1
By Tom Irwin
TESTERS’ COMMENTS
MT: I was a fan of these from the moment I first wore them, I love the way they improve your posture over the ball and the feeling they provide of locking you into the shot. They seem to be absolutely ideal for winter golf as you just feel like you’re never going to lose your balance – even in mud and on wet slopes.
DM: I agree with Mark – the XPS-1s are made for winter golf. You could be standing on the greasiest winter mat and still be confident of your footing. Personally, I prefer a slightly lighter shoe that it feels easier to swing freely in but equally I’d say these can’t be beat for stability.
