Hello. It’s been an exciting week as I got the opportunity to check out the new Ecco Biom Cool Pro shoes whilst playing Le Golf National.
First look at the new @ECCO_GOLF Biom Cool Pro 👀🏌🏽♀️⛳️
The first shoe from ECCO to include Biom natural motion technology, Tri-fi-grip, fluidform technology and a Gore-tex surround.

The shoes combine a whole host of technologies we have seen in previous Ecco models to provide a new level of performance.
As we are accustomed to in all Ecco shoes it is made from premium Yak leather. The shoe also features Biom natural motion technology, a gore-tex surround as well as the tri-fi-grip outsole.
The Tpu Exhaust Grid, which is built into the midsole, has large angled openings. This is designed to draw air in, channelling it to the sole of the foot allowing moisture and heat to escape, for ultimate breathability.
The shoes will be available in August and will set you back £210 a pair. Keep an eye on NCG for a full review.
In other shoe news the Adidas Tour 360 XT Twin Boa has been revealed.
This is designed to offer adjustability across two separate zones. The upper zone provides a secure fit around the collar and prevent power leakage throughout the swing, while the lower zone provides micro-adjustability from the middle to bottom instep for customised fit and support.
The shoes will be available in August and will cost you £179.95.
Right, let’s get into it…
Which clubs won the most PGA Tour victories?
The PGA Tour season came to an end with Rory McIlroy securing victory at the Tour Championship and claiming the FedEx Cup.
And it got me thinking. Which equipment claimed the most titles in the 2018-19 PGA Tour campaign? So I opened up a spreadsheet and got stuck in.
2019 PGA Tour winners clubs: Driver
Brand with most wins: TaylorMade
Model with most wins: TaylorMade M5
The two players battling it out for player of the year, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy, have boosted the TaylorMade M5 winning stats both winning twice with the club in play. Overall this model recorded nine wins across 45 PGA Tour events.

2nd: Titleist TS2
3rd: Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero
2019 PGA Tour winners clubs: Hybrids
Brand with most wins: Titleist
