Originally launched in 2014, the DNA category has been widely adopted at every level of play, including on the worldwide professional Tours and on the feets of our team here at Eighteen Under Par. We’ve seen an update of the DNA category in 2016 and recently, Footjoy has released their third generation.
Inspired by that heritage of success, DNA Helix was developed from the ground up based on specific feedback from the world’s best players who value the combination of flexibility and comfort but requested more platform stability, particularly in the heel area of the shoe.
The new NitroThinTM 3.0 TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) outsole foundation in DNA Helix was developed to deliver the additional stability requested by Tour players. The DNA Helix is actually 38% more stable than its predecessor. This was achieved by increasing the width between the cleat receptacles in the heel by 13% for more surface coverage underfoot. In addition, a new fit-bed was developed with more lateral stability and the integration of a 3D FoamCollar also helps to lock the player’s foot in place.
