The Evolution of a Favorite
True Linkswear took a beloved shoe and leveled it up. The brand’s Antigravity line was already a top pick for many players, but the recent release changes the game entirely. Jack Hirsh reported on Golf.com that the new Antigravity Pro has become the go-to choice for competition this season. The original model was a standout, but the updated version solves a specific problem that held some players back. You’re looking at a full collection expansion that addresses real needs on the course.
Fixing the Grip Without Losing Comfort
The original Antigravity shoe offered supreme comfort thanks to a PEBAX superfoam midsole. Players felt like they were walking on a cloud with every step. The cushioning was so effective that the impact of the foot hitting the ground was barely felt. Despite this softness, the shoe remained one of the most stable spikeless options available. However, the tread pattern on the bottom was minimal. While some players never had issues with traction, others wished for more grip for peace of mind.
The new Antigravity Pro fixes this with a major upgrade. It features an aggressive TPU outsole that resembles the tread found on True’s OG3 Pro golf shoe. This change provides the confidence needed for serious play. The company even teased this move with a limited edition Antigravity+ model released just before the Masters. Hirsh noted on Golf.com that while there were slight hesitations about using the original in competition, the new tread removes that doubt. He pointed out that Joel Dahmen recorded a top-10 finish on the PGA Tour wearing the original, but the Pro version takes it further.
Why the Tread Matters for Serious Golfers
For a scratch player or a competitive amateur, stability is non-negotiable. The original shoe was great, but the lack of deep tread left some players feeling exposed in wet conditions or tight lies. The new TPU outsole bridges that gap perfectly. It keeps the cloud-like comfort that made the brand famous while adding the bite required for aggressive swings. This balance is rare in the golf shoe market. Most brands force a choice between softness and grip. True Linkswear managed to deliver both in the Antigravity Pro. The aggressive tread pattern mimics a shoe built for performance, yet the midsole remains dedicated to comfort. This duality makes the shoe a strong contender for anyone who plays often. The addition of three new colorways also shows the brand is listening to consumer feedback. It’s a smart move that turns a favorite into a staple. Why settle for a shoe that feels good but slips when you need it most?
