The Design Decisions Behind the New Under Armour Drive Pro Clone

I’ve already tested the Under Armour Drive Pro Clone on course and shared my full performance review.
In this conversation, I sit down with the lead designer to understand what they were trying to achieve — particularly around fit, upper construction, and overall stability.
The Drive Pro Clone uses a unique upper approach aimed at delivering a more adaptable fit across different foot shapes. In this interview, we discuss:
– The thinking behind the new upper design
– How they approached the fit challenge
– Stability and structure goals
– What changed from previous models
– Where this shoe sits in the broader lineup
If you haven’t seen the full on-course review yet, you can watch it here – https://youtu.be/I0nOV6uPfCQ

That video focuses purely on performance — comfort, stability, waterproofing, and how the shoe behaves over 18 holes.
This interview is about understanding the intent behind the design.
As always, my reviews remain independent and based on real testing.
Let me know in the comments what you look for most in a golf shoe — fit, stability, comfort, or traction.
