Bo Van Pelt and Stewart Cink each debuted Nike Golf's new Air Zoom TW 2009 golf shoes at the PGA Tour’s Children’s Miracle Network in Orlando. Tiger Woods, who has been absent from the PGA Tour since his at the U.S. Open because of a knee injury, is expected to wear the Air Zoom TW 2009 (suggested retail price $270 per pair) when he returns to competition in '09. Woods worked with Nike Golf shoe designers to on the Air Zoom TW 2009, which the company says is the first golf shoe that combines leather and the unique Ballistic Mesh technology for a lightweight result.One of the essential features of the Air Zoom TW 2009, according to Nike Golf, is the lateral stabilizer located above the outsole, which prevents roll during weight transfer and provides ultimate balance and a more powerful swing. Nike Golf says this lateral stabilizer is critical during the follow through of the golf swing, when weight is moved off of the center of the shoe’s footbed and pressure is transferred to the upper part of the shoe – an area not normally designed to cope with such significant lateral forces. The lateral stabilizer works in harmony with the Ballistic Mesh panel to provide the ultimate in support without compromising comfort.
Lighter and more enduring than leather, Nike Golf says the Ballistic Mesh will not stretch over the life of the shoe and offers more support than leather. The mesh is treated with Repel DuPont Teflon brand finish that provides lasting stain and water resistance, ensuring dry feet no matter the weather conditions.
