New Balance Golf Introduces Fresh Foam X Defender

(Boston, Mass.) – New Balance Golf introduces the Fresh Foam X Defender and Fresh Foam X Defender SL to its 2022 Spring Collection. The Fresh Foam X Defender is built for on-course performance with a waterproof FantomFit® upper, a new Fresh Foam X® midsole, and a TPU outsole. This combination provides golfers with a secure fit, perimeter stability, and comfort in every step. 

Fresh Foam X Defender and X Defender SL Technology

Fresh Foam X Defender Last and Upper

The X Defender has a 100% welded waterproof FantomFit® upper. The skeletally engineered upper provides ultralight support and fit. To enhance the fit, the shoe features a form fitting tongue that hugs the front of the ankle. The X Defender is built on a PW-1 last that has a wider forefoot and shallow toe box for a roomer fit and ease of fatigue during the round. The Fresh Foam X Defender is backed by a two-year waterproof warranty.    

Fresh Foam® X Midsole

The foundation of the X Defender is the new Fresh Foam X premium midsole. The Fresh Foam X midsole has been reengineered resulting in better energy return, reduced weight, and the most cushioned underfoot experience to date. 

Cush+® Insole

Cush+ is a foam compound used for the insole which provides an ultra-soft, cushioned feel. Golfers will notice how comfortable the insole is as soon as they slip their foot into the shoe. 

TPU Outsole

The Exoskeleton TPU Outsole is designed to move with the natural motion of the foot. Its sculpted design allows the outsole to provide superior traction where you need it and flexibility where you want it. The X Defender outsole uses the Fast Twist 3.0 insert system with Pulsar cleats. The X Defender SL is an on-course, performance spikeless shoe.
