    What they say:

     

    The FootJoy Pro/SL Carbon provide superior feel with Fined Tuned Foam (FTF) for supple cushioning and an infinity outsole design for superior stability.

     

    Technology:

     

    *Premium ChromoSkin leather upper - Lightweight, soft, durable and waterproof

     

    *Infinity outsole - TPU traction that is comprised of permanent lugs/nubs and ridges. It boasts 189 points of traction and 17% more surface area in the heel than the previous Pro/SL model.

     

    *Dual-Density midsole - Comprised of firm FTF foam for perimeter stability, and soft underfoot FTF foam for cushioning and balance

    ​

    *Carbon fiber inlay - Adds stability and energy return

     

    *Integrated Power Harness - Delivers medial and lateral support for max control and power

     

    What customers say:

     

    Pros – Good fit

                Very comfortable

                Feels stable and supportive

                Lightweight

     

    Cons – A little break-in required

                Toe area too narrow for some

     

    What we say:

     

    The FootJoy Pro/SL Carbon is very similar to the 2nd generation Pro/SL, except it features a carbon inlay sole. This adds noticeable stability/support during the swing, as well as energy return which is less noticeable. Whether or not this added feature is worth the extra $30 is up for debate. The Pro/SL Carbon is by far one of the most popular shoes on professional tours around the globe. That statistic alone pretty much sums up how awesome this golf shoe is. If it's the preferred choice for tons of pro golfers out there, it must be pretty special. And we can confirm that it is indeed special. We thought that aside from some aesthetic differences, this newer version would be the same as the 1st generation Pro/SL model. It isn't. FootJoy invested a lot of research and updated the traction system, which is now right up there with the best of the best. It offers so much more ground contact than most other systems. This newer version offers more support as well, with the addition of the Power Harness, which keeps the foot in place during the power transition in the swing. What's also great about the Pro/SL Carbon is that we can recommend it for literally all levels of golfers because of its comfort, versatility and amazing performance.
