We’ve featured several episodes of Adidas Golf Innovations and Taylormade Golf Innovations by Sports Science host John Brenkus the past couple of months featuring PGA Tour stars Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. In this episode, Dustin Johnson is featured again by Brenkus as they look at how the body behaves during a golf swing with high torque and power. With this in mind, they look at the science into creating the ideal golf shirt and the advantages of the new adidas Golf puremotion polos.
Adidas Golf apparel with puremotion technology adapts to the body’s movement and stretching of skin throughout a golf swing giving a golfer full freedom of movement. To visually demonstrate how the skin behaves during the golf swing, the eight-time PGA TOUR winner was first observed hitting balls while wearing traditional apparel. He then participated in the same exercise with sensors applied to his back to reveal the amount of stretch his skin experiences during the golf swing.
Due to the remarkably high torque his body generates during his golf swing, Johnson has worked closely with the adidas Golf team to develop the puremotion line with flex-rib panels on the shoulder or back that enhance freedom of movement and reduce restriction experienced during the swing for all golfers. Make sure to watch the video above and also to catch all the other episodes in the “Golf Innovations” series:
