The “coolest” shirts in golf? adidas Golf announces climachill Apparel

Published

on

Press Release: Carlsbad, Calif. (May 13, 2014) – adidas Golf, an industry leader in innovation, technology and performance footwear and apparel, has announced the release of the new climachill apparel collection, featuring new and exclusive fabric technologies designed to keep golfers cool when temperatures rise on the course.

Designed and developed to raise performance levels by helping regulate body temperatures, adidas Golf engineers have revolutionized golf apparel technology with proprietary climachill fabric, engineering the most breathable material the company has ever incorporated into its apparel lines.

Delivering a cooling sensation upon contact with the skin, small aluminum dots were strategically located inside the back neck, one of the warmest areas on the human body. The climachill fabric construction utilizes woven titanium fibers that maximize surface contact with skin. Remarkably light, climachill fabric acts like an open mesh to increase air permeability, drawing heat away from the body and allowing for unmatched ventilation and evaporation of sweat to keep golfers cool like never before.

climachill apparel first appeared on the PGA TOUR at The Players Championship earlier this month, and the technology will be featured prominently in the scripting of Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day throughout the remainder of the 2014 PGA Tour season.

“When the temperatures rise, I need apparel that will keep me cool, comfortable and focused on my play,” said Jason Day, 2014 WGC-Accenture Match Play Champion. “I’m amazed by the technology adidas Golf has incorporated into their apparel, and with climachill, not only can I see the technology, I can feel it, too.”

PGA Tour player Jason Day tests climachill apparel in the adidas Golf Innovations video series.

“We’re consistently looking to develop the most innovative products to keep athletes comfortable so they can focus on performance,” said Davide Mattucci, Director, Global Apparel Product Marketing for adidas Golf. “The climachill fabric is, by far, our most advanced to date and the benefits are actually developed at the microscopic level. It looks and feels like a solid performance fabric, but breathes like an open-air mesh. Once someone feels it, the difference is undeniable.”

The climachill apparel collection includes five men’s polos and three women’s polos with an MSRP ranging from $75-$80 USD. Available now, visit adidasgolf.com to learn more about climachill technology and to view the entire apparel collection.

    These shirts are great. However, one of the shirts I ordered did not have the aluminum beads on them. WHOOPS! I hope Adidas QC isn’t taking advice from Taylormade.

    Luckily the course I work at decided to pick these as our uniform shirts for this year so I get to try one out for free and pick up a second for 10 bucks if I want. The dots felt a little weird at first considering it’s still cool here but in hot temperatures I think the technology will do its job.

    No way these are worth more than a $70 FJ shirt……that being said, I’ll probably try at least one. LOL

    I’ll do the same thing that I do with all of my golf purchases now. Wait until next year’s model comes out, then buy these when they’re discounted. I hear everyone in golf talking about how slow play is the killer of golf. Wrong, the prices in the golf industry have become OUTRAGEOUS. $40-70 greens fees, $15-20 gloves, balls, clubs, bags, shoes, $80 polos, $90 pants, $80 shorts. If my clubs were stolen and I had to go out and replace them all it would cost me at least $2,000.

      trolling hard I see… Not to be there bearer of bad news, but golf courses don’t operate on hopes and dreams.. They need something called money. Have you heard of it? 40-70 dollar green fees is high? I’m pretty sure once you factor in average operating costs of the building, and maintenance, you are falling well behind the 8ball. Do you understand why courses are closing? because it costs money to run them. In respect to replacing your set. It would not cost you 2000 dollars. you are out of your mind. Go to a sporting goods store and get a box set for 179.99. Or, that isn’t good enough? apparently you are wanting brand name high end clubs… Oh wait, you have a fine wine taste on a beer budget? right, that makes sense now. All this complaining about prices and cost is absurd. and no, I am not a tmag fanboy, personally can’t stand their product. No I am not a millionaire. I don’t even make more than 50k a year. So this is not based on a privileged individuals viewpoint, this is based on my employment in the industry and dealing with people like you on a daily basis.

        Couldn’t agree more. People want world-class quality on a Walmart budget. That’s not how good stuff is made. Apple doesn’t cut corners in its product, and its the biggest success story in electronics… why? Because smart people are willing to pay for high quality. No different in any other industry. There’s no status in overpaying, but there’s also no status in being a penny pincher.

          Interesting correlation between Apple and TMAG, but realize they both survive on their marketing strategy and not on their actual product line. Both companies have an AMAZING ability to tell you want you want, then sell it to you.

        So he is a troll because he had an opinion? Maybe with all of the indicators pointing for a need to grow the game, with you being in the industry and all, you may want to listen to what the people that buy your product have to say and come to something that can benefit your customers concerns and your bottom line.

    I was pleasantly surprised that there are a few marginally understated styles/colors for this technology. good on you, adidas.

    Not sure what’s so wow about that when you look at every other brand out there… Outside of the budget brands, it’s pretty consistent with where all the performance polos are these days…

    80$ for a polo WOW ! Thats a little crazy

    • Joe

      Not really when you think that Bobby Jones polos were north of $100 6 years ago….

      • MWP

        May 13, 2014 at 10:50 pm

        citing another example of an over-priced golf polo doesn’t make this polo any more reasonable….

    • Billy

      May 13, 2014 at 9:07 pm

      80$ is not real currency. But $80 is and that’s normal for premium apparel. I.E., Tiger Woods polo’s.

        That’s actually on the low side for TW, but these aren’t even close to TW quality. I think they’ve let Sergio run their design dept for too long now…

          May 16, 2014 at 1:43 am

          TW polos? For $90-100 those are the ones that are garbage. Collars that feel like cardboard, shiny prints, and heavy fabrics that don’t move moisture. There are a million better products in that price zone that are of much higher quality and value. Also not sure how you can determine quality of a garment from a photo. Not sure this is a comment about quality or about fanboy-dom…

          • bradford

            May 16, 2014 at 7:16 am

            Fanboy? Are you 12? That’s a word left for the “But I love my XBOX” forum. Fan, sure.

            And you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about…

      i really don’t see your problem paying 80dollars for a shirt, but it might has to do something that i don’t live in the states. yesterday i saw a nice rlx shirt, until i saw the price tag.
      it would cost me 189 dollars!!!!!
      80 dollars for a nice polo shirt. here. take my money

Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron

Published

on

As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)

What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…

To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”

On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.

Here’s what he had to say:

You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?

MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.

And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.

When did it come back in the bag?

MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.

What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?

MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?

Do you remember how much you paid for it?

MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.

The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?

MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.

It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?

MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.

What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?

MT: Like high 170’s.

Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.

MT: Yeah. The butter knife.

Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons? 

MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.

How far do you carry that? 

MT: Like 235.

A good little wind club, I’m sure.

MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.

I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man. 

MT: Absolutely.
