There are three key aspects to a golf shoe that affect athletic performance. (1) How the shoe interfaces with the ground; (2) How the forces traverse within the shoe between the ground and the foot; and (3) How the foot interfaces with the shoe. In this blog, we’ll discuss the second key aspect: How the forces transfer between the outsole and the foot.

To begin, distance is a function of ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate.For this discussion, let’s focus on ball speed and assume launch angle and spin rate remain constant.So, how do we increase ball speed without compromising control?
