Having been a reviewer of equipment in the golf industry for the best part of five years, I’ve become accustomed to brands getting very excited about their new product. And who can blame them? It’s their job to get excited about products to journalists like me, who, having used the product, then go into the world to interpret that excitement into something more palatable for you to read. To cut a long story short, I feel a certain sense of having seen it all before. So, I hope those at Under Armour can forgive me when the initial excitement around the release of the new Drive Pro Clone and Drive Pro Clone SL felt a little like the same record being played over again.
However, it didn't take me more than about five minutes with the new Drive Pro Clone on my feet to understand that this hype was backed by a huge innovation in the golf shoe space, one that I think all golfers are going to enjoy. To further my record analogy, Drive Pro Clone isn't an old record being spun by the designers; for most, it'll be like listening to Dark Side Of The Moon for the very first time.
