Callaway’s new Xfer shoe line

Published

Mar 4, 2015

Callaway’s new footwear offering, the Xfer line comes in Pro, Vibe and Sport models. With the new footwear, the company is focused on the three principles of foot control: alignment, stability, and traction.

The line’s technology is designed to allow a player to transfer maximum power throughout the swing, minimizing energy loss from either the foot sliding in the shoe or the shoe slipping on the turf.

And Callaway isn’t just toying with the center of gravity in its woods: All of the shoes in the Xfer line are designed to lower the foot’s center of gravity, allowing it to sit in a power powerful position.

Xfer Pro — $169

Pro

A minimized toe-to-heel height lowers the foot’s center of gravity.
An adjustable X Cage structure that’s built into the upper to hug the foot.
Superfeet Pro insole.
Xfer Dynamic Traction Technology, which combines built-in tractional elements with strategically placed Pro Flex PINS for better traction.
The Xfer Power Wall, which prevents foot slide and slippage during the swing, and absorbs energy during the loading and unloading of the swing.

Xfer Vibe — $149

Vibe

Vibe outsole with Xfertractional wall and Triangulated Traction technologies.
XStrek, a highly durable rubber compound for maximum grip.
High-performance Clarino microfiber upper.
Clarino microfiber X Cage overlay that hugs the foot.
Superfeet Pro insoles.
Secondary set of fashion laces.

Don’t know why Callaway can’t make golf shoes. These new ones don’t have enough spikes or arch support. Flop.

If those shoes don’t say ” I’m middle aged and have a slice” then nothing does

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
