It has been proven, time after time, that the biomechanics of the golf swing begin from the ground up. The legs, hips, shoulders and arms are all reliant on a solid foundation created by the feet. With SQAIRZ square-toe design, wider footprint and contact with the ground, they provide a stable base, which creates better balance for a more rapid turn, thus more club head speed is produced, which relates to more distance.
Golf shoes should allow for limited slippage and provide stable contact with the ground, but also have structure to permit adequate movement for correct weight distribution. Today’s lightweight, flexible, sneaker-like shoes cannot hold up to the weight shifts and forces created during the swing.
Phil Stotter, Director of Sports Science at V1 Sports & Ground Force, one of the top experts in biomechanics and the use of ground force stated:
“When we talk about biomechanics of the golf swing, it all starts with the body and its contact with the ground. The feet are the only two objects that actually touch the ground. If there are limitations in balance or stability with the ground, the golf swing will be affected and result in less than satisfactory performance.”
Since, PGA Tour professional Sepp Straka switched to SQAIRZ Golf Shoes he collected victories at the 2022 Honda Classic and 2023 John Deere Classic and qualified for the European Ryder Cup Team.
After his win at the 2022 Honda Classic, he was quoted,
“SQAIRZ Shoes allowed me to really go after it, make three birdies in the final five holes, plus hit the longest drive of the week on the final hole to win the Honda Classic.”
When six-time major champion and Hall of Fame member Sir Nick Faldo tried SQAIRZ for the first time, he immediately contacted the company and raved about the improvement he received in his golf swing.
“Once I tried SQAIRZ, I’ve never worn any other golf shoe. SQAIRZ provides more distance, as well as more comfort.”
The rage in golf shoes over the past decade has been for softer materials, but that is counter productive to obtaining the best balance and stability for the feet, which is necessary to create a strong turn through the golf ball.
It has been scientifically proven that for distance and comfort SQAIRZ can’t be beat. The proof, however, is how they perform and improve your game. To find out more visit their website, plus check out their informative videos on SQAIRZ Golf on YouTube.
If you are looking for a golf shoe that creates the best balance and stability throughout the entire golf swing, then look no further than SQAIRZ and their scientifically proven approach to golf shoe design.
