Let’s face it, nowadays you may need more than custom-made clubs, good swings, pin-seeking chips and on-line putts to post a good score for a round of golf, as your opponents may be using ‘scientific technology’ to better his game.

Range finders give exact distances to the pin or the back edge of a sand bunker at a dogleg you wish to carry. Your golf shoes have special support and scientifically designed protrusions on their soles to provide maximum torque to add distance to each drive. And, they may even be using ‘brush’ tees that, hopefully, add a yard or two to tee shots because they are designed to offer ‘no’ resistance as the golf ball leaves the tee.

When it comes to fashion not only are golfers dressing smart and comfortable, but also now have options that are directly aimed at improving performance. Compression wear is a perfect example of how technology and innovation have moved to the forefront of golf wear, as it provides the body’s muscles a steady increase of oxygen and helps remove lactic acid to reduce muscle fatigue.

SKINS, an Australian company noted for its performance sports garments introduced Compression Wear to the world and is now offering its new 400 Series to help golfers raise their game to the next level through their new sports specific dynamic compression wear.

In developing the new 400 Series, SKINS carried out extensive tests on hundreds of real athletes using 3D body scanning and dynamic compression measuring techniques to yield a product that was not previously available to golfers.
