 Rory
McIlroy spiller med SKINS innerst på kroppen
03.10 Skins - ikke veddemål, men nyttige klesplagg!
Med McIlroy på laget
Har du sett at en del spillere i Ryder Cup spiller med plagg under golfskjorta
slik som Rori McIlroy i Ryder Cup?
Det australske selskapet SKINS International Trading har nå hovedkontor i
Sveits. Det hele begynte i 1996. Når vi spiller skins på golfbanen, er det om å
gjøre å vinne et hull alene for å ta potten. SKINS er klesplagg som du har tett
inntil huden som et slags superundertøy som mange finner meget nyttig.
Golfsidens redaktør har sett på dette et års tid og funnet produktene
interessante for golfspillere - ikke minst når været er ruskete.
Det er en kjent sak at mange idrettsutøvere bruker disse plaggene innerst mot
huden; langrennsløpere, fotballspillere, syklister, golfspillere,
friidrettsutøvere med flere. Våre beste langrennsløpere bruker SKINS under
draktene. Fotballspillere også. Også under stømpene.
Vi har sett at en rekke spillere har slike tettsittende plagg under "draktene" i
Ryder Cup. Tiger Woods er en av dem. Hvilket merke han bruker, har Golfsiden
ingen kunnskaper om.
Golfsiden har testet ut SKIN-plaggene og kommer med en
testrapport.
Bakgrunnen (kilde hjemmesiden)
I 1996 hadde en australsk skiløper hadde en ambisjon om å føle seg 10 år yngre
slik at han kunne gå på ski hele dagen, feste hele natten og være klar neste
morgen og gjøre alt på nytt.
Hans utgangspunkt var kunnskapen om at økt blodsirkulasjon gir mer oksygen til
musklene, hjelper dem jobbe hardere over lenger tid og komme seg raskere. Han
konsulterte NASA og andre eksperter for å få bekreftet at han var inne på noe.
Det var han.
Ryktet sprer seg fort
Ryktet gikk på at SKINS forbedret utøvernes kraft, fart, utholdenhet og
restitusjon. Profesjonelle utøvere var de første som til å bruke dette -
normally sneaking them under their sponsored kit. Before long, amateur athletes
joined the party.
SKINS er nå solgt i 31 land. Selskapet har over 160 produkter, og produserer mer
enn 100.000 enheter i måneden. Overskuddet pløyes tilbake i forskning og
utvikling.
Med Rory McIlroy på laget
De som har fulgt med på Ryder Cup og andre golf- og idrettsarrangementer har
sett at utøvere har tettsittende klesplagg under kortermede skjorter, under
kortbukser på f.eks. fotballshortser etc.
Her er mer hentet fra en pressemelding:
SKINS, the technical compression wear specialists, has followed up the
successful launch of its performance-enhancing apparel for golfers with a major
coup by agreeing a sponsorship deal with golf’s hottest property – Rory McIlroy.
e 21-year-old, who is ranked seventh in the world and is seen as a key figure in
Europe’s bid to regain the Ryder Cup next month, has signed a three-year
contract with the Australian brand.
It follows him putting SKINS G400 compression apparel, which has been designed
specifically to cope with the stresses and strains golf imposes on the body,
through its paces during a number of tournaments. These included the US PGA
Championship in August, an event in which he tied third, the same position he
occupied at the end of another of this year’s Majors, the Open Championship.
“There are a number of products like this around but I’ve found SKINS to be
the best and most effective,” said McIlroy. “That’s probably because
their G400 range apparel has been designed with the golfer in mind – not just on
the course during tournaments but off it as well.
“I’m sure that wearing SKINS helped keep me fresh for the four arduous rounds of
the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and to recover quickly after it. I
also think they will come into their own when I make my Ryder Cup debut at
Celtic Manor. As well as having to cope with three days of intensive matchplay
golf, the course presents a real physical challenge.”
In agreeing the deal, the Ulsterman follows in the footsteps of many other elite
athletes spanning across a range of sporting categories that have chosen SKINS
to enhance their on and off-field performance.
Sponsoring a player who many astute judges believe is destined to become the
world’s number one endorses SKINS’ determination to build on the successful
launch of the G400 range in March.
SKINS G400 products are now stocked by some of the country’s most prestigious
pro-shops, including those at Open Championship venues Turnberry and Royal Troon
as well as Auchterlonies, the store that backs on to the 18th hole of the Old
Course at St Andrews. In addition, SKINS has become a PGA Official Supplier and
agreed to sponsor the Association’s Fourball Championship for three years.
Commenting on the latest development, David Ling, SKINS general manager for the
UK, said: “The G400 range has been well received and is selling well, but the
tie-up with Rory McIlroy gives it a real seal of approval.
“To have one of the world’s best and most personable golfers wearing SKINS and
singing its praises, especially one who is so young, is a massive boost for us.
We couldn’t ask for a better ambassador to promote the brand.”
SKINS will complement the deal with McIlroy by supplying retail partners with
related point-of-sale and in-store promotional material that not only publicises
his involvement with the brand but also emphasises its technical credentials.
Garments in the G400 range – comprising tights, shorts and sleeves – are worn
underneath a golfer’s clothing and designed for year-round use.
Each uses SKINS’ ‘dynamic gradient compression’, which applies accurate pressure
to active muscles, aiding blood circulation and increased oxygen delivery,
resulting in improved performance, greater endurance and faster recovery.
Having been previously associated with individual and team sports such as
running, cycling, rugby and football, SKINS’ move into golf represents a
significant investment and follows several years of development.
