00:00:00:00 – 00:00:15:15 Unknown  Right guys. Today’s video is going to be  a little bit different. So in a second,   we’re going to cut to the main video, Me  Vlogging, My visits to the media day at Royal   Norwich Golf Club for the launch of the brand  new Pro-wrestler Carbon and Pro SL Golf Shoes.

00:00:15:16 – 00:00:23:21 Unknown  If you don’t care for the vlog style content  and you just want to cut to the chase and you   want to learn a little bit more about this  golf shoe, then head to the end of the video 00:00:23:21 – 00:00:28:13 Unknown 

And I’ll see you right back here. If you would  like to check out the vlog style content outside. 00:00:28:14 – 00:00:40:11 Unknown  Much appreciate you tuning into that  content and let me know down in the   comments section down below whether or not  the Rockstar is something that you want to  

See a little bit more for me in 2024. So  with that being said, let’s get to it. 00:00:40:11 – 00:00:50:09 Unknown  Good morning, guys. Hope you’re well. Little  different. Start to the video. We are in the  

Car. We are on our way to a Joy Media  day for the launch of the brand new 00:00:50:09 – 00:01:00:23 Unknown  proposal x golf shoes. I’m going to take you  take you on the drive with me. And yet I tell  

You sort of behind the scenes on what media day  is like with foot Joy, I’ve never been to one. 00:01:01:03 – 00:01:06:21 Unknown  So you guys are going to be coming  along with me for the first time,   so it should be pretty cool. Destination Coffee 00:01:06:21 – 00:01:15:09 Unknown 

And this weather is absolutely horrific as well.  There was talk of some golf that I don’t really   think that’s going to be be happening somehow.  So that’s a shame. But yeah, it’s critical. 00:01:15:09 – 00:01:35:07 Unknown  Coffee secured. Unfortunately, it’s  Costa, which is not ideal. And then  

We got some bananas for the journey. We  got some Royal Norwich Golf Club. I’m   not sure if I mentioned that the goat  bars, these things are just absolutely   sick. So we stocked up for the journey. We  got about 2 hours to go, so. Yeah. Zara. 00:01:35:07 – 00:01:59:07 Unknown 

That coffee absolutely did not hit the spot one  single bit. But we’re here with road rage and   go and it looks like the type of place it does  really good. Coffee is a flip, a really, really  

Cool looking place. So it’s currently sleeting. I  think camera’s going to get a little bit wet when   we go outside, but for that we go let’s let’s  go investigate and yeah, let’s go find a foot. 00:01:59:07 – 00:02:00:07  Unknown Joy guys. 00:02:00:07 – 00:02:16:15 Unknown 

This place looks unreal. Stables, which I believe  is where we are today. Let’s go and have a look. 00:02:18:20 – 00:02:21:02 Unknown  As a guide and a fan yourself. 00:02:21:02 – 00:02:25:21 Unknown  we managed to find a very nice  coffee as well. So was the 00:02:27:19 – 00:02:39:00 Unknown 

Guys were going to go up and and have  a little bit lunch with the guys before   we are before we get going, which is  going to be going to be pretty cool. 00:02:39:00 – 00:02:44:09 Unknown  okay. That is the reason why we’re here. 00:02:44:09 – 00:02:54:21  Unknown Here we go. As  

Cargo. And everyone’s here. All right. The  cameras rolling. Guys, everyone say hello. So it is an iPhone is an icon of  fragility, but it’s an iconic golf. 00:03:07:00 – 00:03:16:15 Unknown  00:03:16:15 – 00:03:34:04 Unknown  The first things they think over lightweight  spikes, traction and comfort. I had the chance  

To work on the previous season of Pro Sale. For  our designer, it’s always a challenge. How can   you push it? Make it better? We actually  reinvented the way tackle traction design. 00:03:34:06 – 00:03:59:04 Unknown  We wanted to make a statement. This was a  revolution. Our focus is on the most discerning  

Of golfers. We respect the game. Golf has changed.  Golf has evolved, and we need to make sure that we   are building a modern golf shoe. The modern golfer  has a faster swing speed, but we wanted to do is  

Have an optimal traction element to manage the  lateral forces that occurs during the golf swing. 00:03:59:06 – 00:04:22:08 Unknown  There’s a lot of advancement on the  design. The x shape is actually concave,   so it has like four lanes geometry that acts like  a suspension and all the traction elements that  

We call the half Dome or the fence are on the  perimeter. So the weight of the golfer is going   to be redirected and is going to help push those  fashion elements to directly engage the ground. 00:04:22:10 – 00:04:41:00 Unknown 

One of the inspiration for the system between the  racetrack and the swing chassis. I like to think   of the guest of design principle. The hole is  greater than the sum of each of the parts, meaning   there’s a synergy between every component that  together delivers a better performance. And along 00:04:41:00 – 00:04:45:07 Unknown 

Right? I swear. We’re going to get. Going  to get measured up now for the new show. 00:04:45:07 – 00:04:52:19 Unknown  you’ve done this before? Over  what some have done. This is one   we or so. I am a nine. Yeah. I’m  hoping this is going to be okay. 00:04:52:21 – 00:05:08:18 Unknown 

They should still say nine. Should still  say nine. Fingers crossed. I’ll see what   it comes out today. So, first of all,  some people are able to size down just   because it’s the last of it. So we’ll  see how you wind up. Let’s hide these  

Under the table. Let’s get rid of those  early trials just above your. Okay. 00:05:08:18 – 00:05:11:14 Unknown  guys, this is quite a bit of kit right here. 00:05:11:14 – 00:05:29:04 Unknown  If you if you haven’t used one of these already,  I highly recommend you do that because very  

Important. Not many people actually get measured  up for their for shoes. Wear the wrong size and   then complain that shoe is not comfortable or not  great to play in when this is no excuse, really. 00:05:29:04 – 00:05:36:00 Unknown  70% of people wearing the wrong size  shoe. So, yeah, don’t get fair, guys,

00:05:36:00 – 00:05:42:10 Unknown  Okay. Right. We’re going on 00:05:42:15 – 00:06:01:19 Unknown  So your feet kind of ignore the fact that the  trousers there so lengthwise actually measuring   up is like a ten. Okay. Okay. But I’ll type in  step height, relatively normal. So I’m actually  

Going to look at maybe a99 and a half. Okay.  Especially in impressive, right. So we’ll go 00:06:01:19 – 00:06:04:20 Unknown  from there. So you say you are nine.  Yes. So you like quite snug fit right. 00:06:04:23 – 00:06:08:13 Unknown 

More of a snug fit. Yeah. More  of a snug fit. You take a seat. 00:06:08:13 – 00:06:20:18 Unknown  This is nine, right? This is nine.  Okay. that’s good. You like I know   if you heard it when you pushed your foot  in that you had a really get pushed out. 00:06:20:20 – 00:06:36:10 Unknown 

That’s essentially you filling  the volume of the shoes. You’re   taking up all the space and in the arrow  shoes too big. If you push your foot in,   no way it comes out because there’s  still space for it to just sit around  

And you got yeah, that made a really good  noise when you put your foot in that. 00:06:38:16 – 00:06:48:08 Unknown  Yeah. no. Good. Last question on  the classroom. That’s really good. 00:06:48:08 – 00:07:02:21 Unknown  feels like it hugs your foot. Yep. More  than I thought it would stand up. The  

Smallest little thing round. Yeah.  So you fill in it there. There isn’t   any access over the top there. There is a  little gap there, but we’re in your toe. 00:07:02:21 – 00:07:13:21 Unknown  But that’s comfy for you and that’s what  you like. So that’s the thing. Like some  

People want a little bit more room there,  but for you, that feeling of just being   completely surrounded by the shoe is  perfect. Yeah. I go, Yeah, non final. 00:07:13:21 – 00:07:30:13 Unknown  These feel so good on the straight away  they actually don’t if you call out you  

Said earlier that they hug your feet  a little bit more than I thought they   were going to which which is a positive.  But no I feel great straight for that. 00:07:30:13 – 00:07:39:12 Unknown  So awesome. That’s great. Thank  you. Thank you very much. Guys,  

Come give these. I give this  a try. Let you know how a girl 00:07:39:12 – 00:07:49:19 Unknown  brother Spencer himself. wow. I see.  Like in the. Yeah, that’s different.   Immediately. Like around the halo. There’s 00:07:49:19 – 00:08:06:09 Unknown  Guys these are these carbon’s  a little bit more in the heel  

Which is the heat which is already great and  they are just I just feel I just feel great.   We’re going to take it to the range and give  them a chance. So I’ll check back in to say 00:08:06:09 – 00:08:19:19 Unknown 

Right, guys. Just a few balls out here  on the range at Norwich. By the way,   this place is absolutely epic. First impressions.   Very, very good. Two points I want to  mention to you. Straight out the box. 00:08:19:19 – 00:08:33:16 Unknown  underfoot. Really, really good.  Second point is just the locked  

In feel around your ankle here  and the heel area is really,   really nice indeed, especially for the  stability element during your golf swing. 00:08:33:16 – 00:08:38:16 Unknown  So, guys, we’re going to we’re going to head back  to base and I’ll wrap this back up in the studio. 00:08:38:16 – 00:08:45:21 Unknown 

Core, right, guys? We are back at base  and here is the price cell x carb. 00:08:45:21 – 00:09:12:13 Unknown  And so I think this is going to be a massive  shoe for Joey. The price L is and has always  

Been one of Fitzroy’s best selling golf shoes.  It might even be Joy’s best selling golf shoe.   I’d have to check the tapes on that, but  it’s definitely up there. And so when they   do like a revamp to the model, they have to  be really careful with the revamps that they  

Do and what they add, what they take away  because of how popular the shoe is like. 00:09:12:13 – 00:09:43:02 Unknown  If it’s not broken, don’t try fixing it. But  they’ve really gone to town on this. And,   you know, no stone has been left unturned  in the development of the shoe. And you can  

Just see that from the video that I sort of  dropped in there from from the presentation   earlier in the video. It really, like so  much goes into it, so much tech innovation,   testing the lot to make sure that  when they’re releasing a product,  

They know that golfers are going to  be able to benefit from wearing it. 00:09:43:02 – 00:09:51:13 Unknown  And they wouldn’t just release it if, you  know, it wasn’t quite right. So I do really   think this is going to be a huge shoe for  foot, Joy, this year and in the coming years.

00:09:51:13 – 00:09:58:07 Unknown  the one thing that lets things down for the shoe   for me is it’s just not the best  looking golf shoe I’ve ever seen. 00:09:58:07 – 00:10:19:20 Unknown  Then be wrong. Actually, it’s been growing on me.  It is getting better, but it is an esthetically.  

It’s not like a premier series when you look at  that. It’s is kind of is getting there is growing   on me I do think in the summer with a pair of  shorts I do think they’re going to look a lot  

Better in that scenario that we’ve trousers  and I mean just get me to the summer a.S.A.P. 00:10:20:01 – 00:10:24:07 Unknown  But yeah, it’s just not the best  looking shoe I have ever done. 00:10:24:07 – 00:10:34:06 Unknown  Now, guys, some really interesting point with  these shoes. They’re coming in the carbon model,  

Which is what I’ve got here, and they’re coming in  the Standard model as well. Standard retailing at 00:10:34:06 – 00:10:39:15 Unknown  159 here in the UK and the  carbon model retailing for 189. 00:10:39:15 – 00:11:02:04 Unknown  So we’ve got a little £30 discrepancy.  And for Joe, I want to make it very,  

Very clear that just because it’s got  carbon, it doesn’t mean it’s better   for you. So there are going to be some  golfers who are going to benefit more   from wearing the standard model than wearing  this model. So if you’re someone who you know,  

You don’t need all that stability,  you’d rather a little bit more flex, 00:11:02:04 – 00:11:04:09 Unknown  you’d rather a little bit more comfort then 00:11:04:09 – 00:11:07:22 Unknown  you might look at going towards  the other the standard model. 00:11:07:22 – 00:11:27:23 Unknown 

If you’re someone like myself, I really need  to feel was locked into the shoe as possible. I   really don’t want any twisting in the shoe  whatsoever. I need a really stable base.   Then it might be worth you spending that  little extra money and getting the carbon  

Model. But just because it’s got carbon in it  doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better for you. 00:11:27:23 – 00:11:30:22 Unknown  A big thing, guys sizing. As  you saw from the vlog earlier, 00:11:30:22 – 00:11:48:18 Unknown 

I went through the fitting process, which by the  way, very, very get involved in that if you can. I   went true to my normal size. The machine kind of  recommended that I could go a little bit bigger  

If I wanted to, but I really do like the snug  locked in kind of tight fitting feel to my shoes. 00:11:49:00 – 00:11:59:21 Unknown  And that’s what the size nine gave  me. If you don’t get a chance to   get fitted and you can’t try  them on before you buy them,  

Then I would definitely recommend with these  going true to your normal fit joy size. 00:11:59:21 – 00:12:03:23 Unknown  I’m going to be bringing a full review to  the channel very, very soon on these guys. 00:12:04:01 – 00:12:24:09 Unknown 

Grip is one thing that I’m going to be  looking out for most when testing these   is a brand new outsole. It’s something that I  think is is very, very interesting. Something   for me that’s never really been done before  with the amount of surface area across here  

That’s missing any sort of grip at all. So  that’s going to be really interesting to see. 00:12:24:09 – 00:12:27:23 Unknown  But a full review will be coming  to the channel very, very soon. 00:12:27:23 – 00:12:48:21 Unknown  rock guys. Huge. Thank you to you for  having me out at the event. Really,  

Really appreciate it. It’s always great  to catch up with the guys and talk all   things golf shoes and all things. Look,  Joy, if you did enjoy this video, guys,   if you’ve watched all the video, if you’ve done  the vlog style and you’ve ended up here as well,  

Shout out to you guys are really,  really do appreciate the support. 00:12:48:23 – 00:12:55:01 Unknown  There will be more vlogs coming in 2024 and more  content on the way very, very soon for review. 00:12:55:01 – 00:13:07:14 Unknown 

Landing very, very soon on these. I cannot  wait to get these out in the golf course   when we’re not getting just permanently  rained on here in the UK. So guys Hugh   thank you Do like subscribe all that good  stuff and I’ll see you all very, very soon.
