Not the best workmanship

Comfort and joy in the rain

The Footjoy eComfort's unremarkable cushioning
Among its few criticisms is its lackluster underfoot cushioning. One golfer expressed his concern about it, stating that it has little in the way of poke protection. Replacing its default footbeds with cushier ones sounds like a great idea.
