DIY: Changing the Spikes in Your Golf Shoes
I can't prove this but I have to be one of the least "handy" people on Earth. Do it yourself projects like connecting a hammer to a nail is a big success for me if nothing breaks, like the wall or my finger.
Why do I tell you this? I want you to REALLY understand how easy it is to change the spikes in your golf shoes. It's something I have never done before because I didn't think I could. I would wear them out and then get new golf shoes. I never realized how important it was to have good spikes until earlier this year when my foot started sliding out from under me. I decided I needed to do this.
(Comparison: My old spikes on the left and new spikes on the right. Notice how worn out the old spike is)
Changing Your Spikes is Easy & Cheap
I decided the best way to show how to do this was create a short video (2 minutes and 17 seconds) demonstrating what you need to have and do:
As you can see in the video (and for those of you who can't see it), all you need is the key or tool to remove the spikes, a set of new spikes to replace the old ones and your golf shoes.
How Much Will This Cost Me
The "tool" to remove and put your spikes in cost me $4.99. The spikes themselves cost me $15.99 for 16 spikes. My shoes only require 14 so it's nice to have a couple extra in case I make a mistake or one breaks while playing.
The spikes I bought are the Pulsar made by Softspikes. They had a less expensive set (I can't remember the cost) and they also had a more expensive set.
