Adidas Adizero ZG Golf Shoes: The Technology

In the development of these golf shoes and to build upon the success of the ZG footwear franchise Adidas conducted some research to learn that golfers average 162 hours per year on their feet. Therefore, the brand has introduced some new technologies to provide golfers with a lighter shoe to keep each round enjoyable and pain free.

These additions include a lightweight traction which has seen new lightweight undercut lugs added along the perimeter of the Spikemore outsole. This is designed to increase lateral stability and adaptive traction for comfort on all terrains and course conditions.

We’ve all been there when we have blamed the uneven surface for bad shots. A secondary cone-shaped traction system helps golfers eliminate this danger out on the course by feeling more flat on uneven surfaces.

Adidas also say players golfers will feel more comfortable and closer to the ground after they combined Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro cushioning in the midsole. The Adidas ZG also features a moulded heel cushion for enhanced lightweight comfort. This addition was inspired by the running shoes and delivers a softer padding.

Other technological advances include a newly designed Dynamic Torsion plate in the outsole to help with the transfer of energy and power through a golfer’s swing. The medial side of the outsole are now curved and softened to also help aiding footwork through the golf swing.

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
