Is it my shoes or my swing?

I've been using the Athalonz shoes for quite a while now. I love how they fit and how easy they are to get on and off. but..... my right foot is slipping. It slips straight back and causes a pull. I've only wore down the tread slightly but most of the wear is in the ball of my feet.

I'm not ruling out something in my swing, but from my logic, if I'm slipping using ground forces, that is in line with the S&T swing. Has anyone else experienced this with golf shoes?

Any suggestions for a good shoe with either spikes or deep cleats? I need more than a brand, specific model please. thanks

@Nocona Colt Abernathy - Perhaps too much of a good thing? Check out the Skateboard Drill.

@Nocona Colt Abernathy Not sure about that, since the Skateboard Drill is for applying the brakes to the hips, whereas over-rotation would seem to cause the trail leg to kick inward towards the ball.

Does the resident swing analyst care to post his swing??....😆

@Tom Saguto Agreed. The skateboard drill is more focusing after the hips have already started back around. I think the idea I'm speaking of is when your hips are transitioning from opening to closing, force is applied to the ground by the foot to stop the hips and change direction. If that force overcomes the friction between your shoe and the ground, you will slip.

Let me do a little for self analysis first...😂
