The FJ Flex #56287 Golf Shoe
One of the most important pieces of golf equipment is shoes. Over the years I have reviewed many brands, material compositions, spiked and spikeless, laced and BOA Fit System shoes.
And, one of the very best, and in my humble opinion, is the FootJoy FJ Flex, Style 56287 golf shoe.
This shoe stands out alone amongst the plethora of so many different styles and material varieties being offered in the golf shoe domain.
It’s USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is it is an “easy wearing”, great looking, modern, sneaker style shoe with the mesh type fabric enhancing the comfortableness I prefer in a golf shoe. It is like comfort food so to speak, and I find it to be a very enjoyable and well-supported shoe, which is of paramount importance especially, at my senior level status. Its mesh uppers provide an extremely comfortable fit and breathability.
What I truly like/love about this particular shoe is the performance mesh material which gives me incredible all-day wearability both off and on the course. I love the color selections offered (black, navy/grey, white, and grey) and the wide size options are always a plus!
Another USP of the shoe is the StratoLite cushioning designed specificallyfor golf – it absorbs walking impact and returns energy for an extremely comfortable feel.
On support of the shoe, a soft EVA midsole provides increased underfoot cushioning, enhanced comfort, and exceptional stability.
As for traction, the VersaTrax outsole is engineered with traction elements to create an outsole that is perfect for on course performance with wear-to-the-course versatility. Each traction zone is maximized during your swing and provides exceptional grip when walking the course.
Best part of the shoe is the $99.99 price! www.footjoy.com
REKS Sunglasses
These REKS Trivex sunglasses are, in my opinion, the very best sunglasses for golf! And, even better, they are also available for prescription users.
REKS designed their non-polarized golf lens to have a lighter tint than a full sunglass, allowing more light into the eye resulting in a more precise visual experience. The Trivex precision GOLF lens feature REKS’ rose amber tinted lens for superior contrast enhanced with a multi-layer silver mirror on the front. REKS also has a brown polarized Trivex® Color-Boosting® lens preferred by many golfers for its superior contrast qualities and the glare reduction produced by polarization.
Unmatched Clarity and Color Enhancement
Trivex® lenses are known for their unrivaled clarity, but when combined with Color-Boosting technology, they offer a visual experience that is second to none. The lenses are infused with special dyes during the manufacturing process, which heightens the contrast and makes colors appear more vivid and distinct. This is not just beneficial for everyday wear, but can be particularly advantageous for activities like golfing, where seeing the subtle contours and hues of the green can improve your game.
Impact Resistance and Durability
One of the cornerstones of Trivex® lenses is their incredible strength. They are crafted to be shatter-resistant, providing peace of mind for those with active lifestyles or for anyone who demands more from their glasses. This robustness does not come at the cost of comfort, as Trivex® lenses are also lightweight, making them ideal for extended wear.
100% UV Protection
Protecting your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun is a critical aspect of eye health. Trivex® Color-Boosting lenses offer 100% UV protection, ensuring that while you are enjoying the enhanced colors and contrast, your eyes are also shielded from potential damage. These high impact resistant lenses are treated with hydrophobic, scratch resistant, and anti-reflective coatings designed for improved performance. The intelligent warrior values the all-day comfoREKS frame styles, but personally, the Sling-Blade model works great for me as there is no frame edge below eye level. REKS offers a dozen iconic styled frames including wrap around styles. All REKS frames are unbreakable, yet weigh less than 1 ounce, and all have REKS Soft Touch® rubberized finish for amazing comfort and feel.
The SLING-BLADE is mission specific. Maximum performance in the precise confines of serious competition. Tinted lenses and unbreakable frame material let you see it through to the end.
REKS’s polarized Trivex Color Boosting lenses are engineered to reduce glare off horizontal surfaces such as water, sand and roads and are especially good for outdoor sports. Polarization reduces eye strain, improves clarity, and enhances colors.
REKS’s Trivex sunglasses start at $75.00 and their HD Trivex Prescription sunglasses start at $175.00.
All REKS’s eyewear carry a 2-year warranty covering frame damage, a hard protective case with zipper, and a 30-day,100 percent, no questions asked, money back guarantee, with free shipping and returns on all orders to the US.
REKS’s customer service is outstanding!

The SIDEWALK Putting Mat System & StrikeItblind the Short Game Plate Training Aids
The average golfer will take between 30 to 40 putts per round of golf – roughly 40% of their shots. Yet, I challenge you to go to your locl club or driving range, and find the average golfer that spends 40% of their practice time dedicated to putting.
The Sidewalk is a tool that enables you to work on your putting both at home and on the course. Its simple concept will make you an expert on reading the break, distance and speed to straight.
That’s why PGA tour players love this product. Steve Alker of the PGA Tour Champions is a huge proponent of the SIDEWALK putting system. So if you want some more confidence over those testy par putts on the course, this is the best product to help you lower your scores.
The SHORT GAME PLATE StrikeItblind is going to help your chipping, pitching, and bunker game. For brevity, this description below covers just pitching. For full details on all BlindStrikeGolf’s products and videos, visit their website.
Pitching – Pitching is the only move in golf where we are using the right hand (right handed players, left for left handed players, respectfully) to produce the strike.
It mirrors a tennis forehand motion where a player cocks the club up in the back swing, but uses the motion of rotation of the body to deliver the club through the ball. It’s not a hit, it is a rotation. The inventor and founder of BlindStrikeGolf, Dutch Skiver, refers to this motion “Cock it and Pocket”.
The BlindStrikeGolf short game plate StrikeItBlind produces the environment needed to accomplish it every time.
FYI, I personally use both The SIDEWALK putting mat ($69.95) and the StrikeItBlind Putting and Short Game Package ($149.95).
