Technology advancement has changed the game of golf in many ways, especially with its equipment and the golf ball. But technology has also made its way to golfing attire, allowing golfers to perform at their best in the most challenging conditions. In Episode 1 of Adidas Golf Innovations, John Brenkus of Sport Science and Jason Day looks at the new climawarm+ jackets and how its insulation and lightweight material helps golfers in cold weather conditions.
Fatigue and the foundation of the golf swing are also very important to a golfer. That’s why aside from working on his swing, Jason Day also incorporates extensive cardio and weight training in order to prepare himself for tournament golf. In Episode 2 of Adidas Golf Innovations, the focus shifts to the AdiZero One golf shoe, which is 5.5 ounces lighter than conventional golf shoes! This may seem miniscule but over 18 holes, this actually translates to a reduction of over 5,500 cumulative pounds!
The AdiZero One golf shoe for the North American market is featured in the video, but below, you can see another version of the golf shoe. In Japan, the AdiZero One utilizes BOA Technology – no shoe laces needed, similar to snowboarding boots! Just turn the dial, tighten the shoes and swing away!
