What’s in a Name?

Originally worn by Michael Jordan in some of his biggest moments on the court, the Air Jordan 12 Low “Playoffs” are now ready for your biggest moments on the course.

Introducing the Air Jordan 12 Low “Playoffs” golf shoes, the newest addition to Jordan Brand’s lineup of nostalgic golf shoes inspired by one of basketball’s greatest.

The Air Jordan 12 Low model is nothing new but this pair is special. This unassuming black-and-white Jordan Brand golf shoe has a story behind it.

So what’s in a name? For the Air Jordan 12 Low “Playoffs”, the name is what separates it from the myriad of other golf shoes. To understand what makes this shoe unique, we need to first understand its history.

Winning Heritage

The Air Jordan 12 made its basketball debut in 1996. This exact same black-and-white colorway, dubbed “Playoffs”, was worn by Michael Jordan as the Chicago Bulls battled their way to the 1997 NBA Championship title, besting my hometown Utah Jazz.

PXG has introduced a new line of 0211 metalwoods.The new products offer value pricing without cutting corners on quality.List price for the driver is $299 ($219 at launch). Fairways and hybrids are $249 ($169 and $149, respectively, at launch).

It wasn’t that long ago that $300 got you entry-level driver. Like the 2022 PXG 0211 driver, it didn’t have the bells and whistles of a “flagship” driver. Maybe it didn’t have an adjustable hosel. It definitely didn’t have movable weights—but performance was typically strong.

If your memory is a bit fuzzy, I’m talking about a class of drivers with names like Burner, X Hot and RocketBallz.

Over time, $300 became $400 and before you knew it (apart from big box exclusives and some stuff explicitly designed for low swing speed), the semi-affordable stuff for the masses was gone.

Whether you knew it or not, most of the industry had collectively decided they were all “premium-brands” and, as such, there was no reason to sell golf clubs below the high-water line.

Majed Al Sorour tells The New Yorker he will "celebrate" a major championship ban on LIV players and says "all the tours are being run by guys who don’t understand business.”

Say hello to LIV’s newest star executive to prod at Five Families in my latest Quad entry.

I guarantee you or someone you know gamed the classic Titleist 975D.

Ring a bell?

It was in Tiger’s bag when he won Tiger Slam. It was David Duval’s choice the year he became world No. 1. To this day, it remains one of the best-selling drivers of all time. The catch? They stopped making them in 2001.

Yes, it’s been 21 years.

When you design a putter online, does the putter’s online rendering look like the putter that arrives at your house? That’s the first question that should be asked when exploring any online custom putter interface. The whole process fails if the virtual putter and in-person putter are different. Why spend the time and money designing a custom putter if something else entirely shows up at your door?

Rickie Fowler and Andrew Putnam shared a one-stroke lead after Friday's second round of the Zozo Championship, where scores were low with drier conditions after rain in the first round.

Back in Saudi Arabia for the first time since his disparaging remarks about the source of LIV Golf's funding, Phil Mickelson said Thursday he was glad he was on the "winning side" and that he sees the PGA Tour trending downward.
