Seeing that Ryan plays golf for living and has a vested interest in the company, it seems like a reasonable request. I suspect (actually confirmed) that it was the result of Ryan Moore needing a shoe that could give him more traction when needed.
So did True Linkswear get my memo and create the new Game Changer Pro just for me? Likely not. Specifically, when I play in the Pinehurst area where there is a lot of pine straw or in the winter when the ground is soft. In terms of traction, I always felt it was adequate but there have been times I wanted more grip. I like the style but mostly I love the comfort. You get the point, I like True Linkswear. There is the old pair of Sensei that double as slippers (since they are so light and easy to slip on), a pair of Oxfords (with a pair of jeans), old Lyt Drys (too worn out for the course but good for walking the dog) and two pairs of Gent Wingtip which I wore for the entire 2014 golf season. I have been a True Linkswear homer for about 5 years and I have 5 pairs that I currently wear on a regular basis to prove it. Heck, putting soap on a rope is nearly a game changer, but when True Linkswear puts spikes on a golf shoe does it really qualify as a “game changer?” I mean, when ketchup put the squeeze top on the bottom so you avoided the watery first gloop, that was a game changer or when an eraser was added to the top of a pencil, that was a game changer.
