Picking up where the SP-7 left off, the SP-8 continued the weather-resistant trend with a premium full-grain leather upper and a grippy traction setup. The SP Returning to the Air Zoom TW line, this update featured a ballistic mesh and full grain leather upper. The latest and greatest Nike Tiger sig, the TW 13 features a flexible Free-inspired outsole and a waterproof multi-stretch synthetic upper.
To celebrate Tiger's return to No. All Rights Reserved. Share This Story. I wanted more mobility and more stability. Those two things are counterintuitive. But that is one of the reasons why Tobie [TW '15 designer] is so gifted; he gave me that.
This Flyweave technology allows that to happen. The first Flyweave shoe we tried actually had too much flexibility and didn't have enough stability, but the great thing about it is that Tobie was able to tighten up the Flyweave without sacrificing any weight.
So the next version had more stability, no added weight and I could hit it harder. Having a lighter shoe that, over the course of walking 18 holes or if you have rain delays and you have to go back and finish up a round, and you are out there 8, 10 or 12 hours, that is going to save you a lot of energy. And to have a shoe that is that stable, so I can use my explosiveness and strength again is only going to enhance my game.
How will the TW '15 help you with your overall game? First off I think it will help that the shoe is lighter. My legs won't get as tired. Secondly, the stability of it I love. And the mobility is, in certain places, more mobile than the TW '14, which is something I wanted.
To use more of the ground force as my push-off point and use that as a platform to create power. More importantly, how can it help the recreational, non-pro players with their game? Well, I think it will be very simple. They will notice immediately how light the shoe feels and the comfort of it. As far as their ability to play, the mobility will help them generate more speed.
It may not help their swing, but that's for their local golf pro. It is like playing in a tennis shoe now, versus a dress shoe with spikes nailed into your feet, which was the case when I made my Tour debut.
Lastly, Tiger, what would you like to see next? What type of technology do you think could help in terms of comfort and to make the game easier? To have the consumer design their own shoe colors and have that personal touch. We don't have the technology yet for Flyweave, but it's Tobie and Nike, so [they] will figure out a way to do it if it's possible. It is neat to see how light and stable this shoe is for me and I am excited for this year, playing in it and seeing the power I can generate because of it.
I don't want to go back in the past with golf shoes.
