As part of its commitment to performance-driven innovation in athletic footwear, SQAIRZ has made its first expansion to a sport other than golf. After a year of testing in partnership with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center, SQAIRZ says its custom-designed, performance-focused SQAIRZ GFP baseball turf shoe has already shown the ability to “create marked change’’ in a baseball player’s game.
According to SQAIRZ, players at all levels – Major League, Minor League, and high school – showed elevated performance in all areas of the game.
“Balance, stability, and ground force production have not been given the attention they deserve in sports,” said Robert Winskowicz, founder of SQAIRZ. “Controlling these three performance elements through the right shoe is critical to consistently maximizing your performance in most sports.
“I am very proud to partner with Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center. Their team of experienced baseball players and coaches have put SQAIRZ through their paces, analyzing their performance in all aspects of the game, whether base running, fielding, pitching, or batting, and we are thrilled with the impressive results.”
“I look at swings at every level of the game, from 10U Travel Ball Players to Majo League Baseball All Stars,” said Chad Miller, founder of Louisville Slugger Hitting Science Center. “I have never seen a product that has such an amazing impact on a player like the SQAIRZ GFP. With our advanced-level amateur players, we have recorded an average increase of 2.6 mph of exit velocity (approximately 26 feet of distance) when using the SQAIRZ turf shoe versus traditional turf shoes. That is the difference between making a varsity team, getting a college scholarship, or being drafted
The new SQAIRZ GFP is available for presale at www.sluggerscience.com, with plans to begin shipping by early 2023.
