True Antigravity Pro adds the traction the original shoe was missing

True Linkswear’s Antigravity line, described by GOLF.com writer Jack Hirsh as one of his favorite golf-shoe releases of the last few years, has expanded into a broader collection. True added the Antigravity Pro in three colorways earlier this summer, and Hirsh says he has worn the model for every competitive round he has played this season.

The Antigravity Pro keeps the main advantages of the original Antigravity while addressing what Hirsh considered its only meaningful drawback. The issue was not comfort or stability, but the amount of tread on the outsole. The original shoe used a very minimal tread pattern. Hirsh never experienced a traction problem, yet he wanted a little more grip for additional confidence during a swing and in competition.

The major outsole change

The key update is an aggressive TPU outsole with integrated spikes. Its tread resembles the design used on True’s OG3 Pro golf shoe. True had previewed a similar concept in the limited-edition Antigravity+, which was released shortly before The Masters.

The original Antigravity was already among the most stable spikeless golf shoes Hirsh had tested. Still, its restrained tread left him wondering whether it offered enough extra security for tournament play. That concern was not based on a specific slip or failure; rather, it was a matter of confidence. The more pronounced outsole on the Antigravity Pro removed that hesitation.

Hirsh notes that Joel Dahmen recorded a top-10 finish on the PGA Tour while wearing the Antigravity, so the original model had already demonstrated that it could be used at a high level. Even so, the author had slight reservations about taking it into competition. With the Pro version, he says the aggressive TPU outsole gives him all the confidence he needs through a round and through the swing.

The Pebax® cushioning remains

True did not sacrifice the comfort that made the original model appealing. The Antigravity Pro continues to use a Pebax® superfoam midsole. Hirsh describes the sensation as walking on a cloud, emphasizing that when he first wore an Antigravity shoe, the impact of his foot hitting the ground was barely noticeable.

That blend of cushioning and stability remains central to the design. The Pro is built for golfers who want the easy comfort of a running-inspired platform but also need a shoe that feels dependable in competition. The construction includes a full-length nylon Speedboard and an innovative bathtub midsole design intended to help support the foot within the platform.

A low-profile TPU mudguard protects the upper from dirt, moisture and wear. Together with the outsole, these elements make the Pro more focused on demanding course conditions than the original minimalist version, without changing the soft ride that defined the Antigravity line.

A new waterproof upper

The second major change is the upper. True added a Premium TRUEdura laminated upper designed to be supple, durable and waterproof. The company also upgraded the waterproof warranty to two years.

Hirsh wore the Antigravity Pro exclusively during a trip to Scotland and later used it during a tournament on a wet morning in Pennsylvania. He reported zero issues with wet feet after those experiences. For the review, that result is more significant than a specification alone because it tested the shoe in two different situations: extended travel and tournament golf in rain.

The visual package has also been upgraded. Iridescent Camo heel detailing and metal logos give the Antigravity Pro a more premium appearance than the original. Hirsh points out that this comes with a price increase of only $25 compared with the first Antigravity. The review’s editorial focus is the performance and design change rather than a shopping recommendation.

Bottom line

Hirsh still enjoys wearing the original Antigravity, but he says the Antigravity Pro is now the only shoe he wears for tournaments. The outsole upgrade addresses his concern about traction, while the improved waterproofing provides extra confidence in wet conditions, even though he had not previously doubted the original shoe’s water protection.

The result is an evolution rather than a complete redesign. True retained the Pebax® cushioning, soft ride, low-fatigue feel and stable platform that made the Antigravity a favorite for the author. It then added an aggressive TPU outsole with integrated spikes, a TRUEdura laminated upper, a two-year waterproof warranty, a TPU mudguard and more premium cosmetic details.

For Hirsh, that combination makes the Antigravity Pro a versatile and exceptionally comfortable shoe that can also be used confidently in competition. His conclusion is straightforward: golfers seeking the comfort of the Antigravity platform with stronger traction and upgraded weather protection will find those changes in the True Linkswear Antigravity Pro.
