Under Armour Golf has unveiled its new Golf Footwear Performance Centre at Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire, offering a  ‘Footwear Optimisation Process’ that promises to match golfers with their ideal shoes for maximum performance.

The custom-fitting service combines BiomecaForce AI-driven force plates, Launch Monitor data, and SIDAS Podiatech foot analysis to assess swing mechanics, foot anatomy, and force generation.

Players receive tailored recommendations from the brand’s Drive Pro Series, complete with on-site built custom insoles.

At the launch on July 29, Under Armour EMEA Managing Director Kevin Ross called it “the most advanced athlete performance tracking technology in golf.”

DP World Tour rising star Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen tested the system, gaining 2.5mph in clubhead speed and a 5% increase in peak vertical force.

Neergaard-Petersen said: “The whole process has been eye-opening and has led to some crucial gains for me, including an increase of peak vertical force of 5%.

“The level of feedback is incredible and should make a lot of golfers think about how beneficial shoe optimisation can be.”

Each two-hour session costs £500 and  includes bio-mechanical testing, a pair of Drive Pro shoes, and custom insoles.

Bookings can be made through Head of Footwear Optimisation Chris Murtagh at Stoke Park at cmurtagh@stokepark.co.uk

Under Armour Golf have launched the golf footwear line  ‘Drive Pro Series The Gold Edition’ for Spring/Summer 2025.

Following the overwhelming success of the Drive Pro Series’ 2024 debut, this latest iteration introduces a striking gold colour-way in both the Drive Pro Spiked and Drive Pro SL models.

The Drive Pro Series has been engineered to improve performance in every golfer’s game, delivering superior traction, stability and comfort, with benefits scientifically validated through live data testing.

Under Armour has consistently demonstrated measurable gains in club head speed, ball speed and carry distance, making the Drive Pro a game-changing choice of footwear on the golf course.

At the core of this innovation is the Swing Support System, a revolutionary three-layer structure developed with world-renowned biomechanist JJ Rivet.

This science-backed design ensures a 360-degree foot lockdown, optimising both lateral and medial stability. Meanwhile, UA HOVR foam and Charged Cushioning enhance responsiveness and provide essential support, guiding the foot’s natural motion throughout the golf swing for increased power and control.

UNDER ARMOUR ATHLETES

Already a go-to choice for top athletes worldwide, the Drive Pro Series is making an impact across professional tours.

On the PGA Tour, Jordan Spieth and Maverick McNealy trust the Drive Pro, with McNealy securing his first PGA Tour victory at the RSM Classic and earning four top-10 finishes in early 2025 as he moved into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

On the DP World Tour, the footwear is now worn by the exciting young talent of Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, who has already secured two top 10s to his name in 2025 since making the switch to Drive Pro.

With its proven innovation, athlete-driven design and cutting-edge technology, the Gold Edition Drive Pro Series sets a new benchmark in golf footwear.

Engineered to help golfers unlock greater power, stability and confidence on the course, this latest innovation from Under Armour Golf reinforces the brand’s commitment to pushing the game forward, one step at a time.

Under Armour Golf’s Neil Heslop said: “To celebrate the overwhelming success in 2024 of our Drive Pro Series, the new Gold Edition will further enhance the look and appeal of this iconic golf shoe.

“The new gold colour-way, while delivering a striking look, also highlights the biomechanically engineered Swing Support System, which has been scientifically proven to enhance stability, maximise energy transfer and ultimately improve the efficiency in your golf swing, leading to better performance.”

The Gold Edition Drive Pro Series is now available at select golf retailers. The Drive Pro Spiked is priced at €170, while the Drive Pro SL retails for €150. Both models come with a one-year waterproof warranty, ensuring long-lasting performance in any playing conditions.
