Review: Under Armour Stability Shirt

Written by  Will O'Doherty on Monday, 20 June 2011
In recent years, the pursuit of optimum performance has brought what the golfer is wearing, as well as what they have in their bag, under the microscope. Clothing has become much more about how it makes you play than how it makes you look. We review Under Armour's Stability Shirt here.

Established in 1996 from a Washington DC basement, Under Armour had grown its revenue to almost $900 million by 2009. It did so by producing garments that boosted the performance levels of leading sportsmen and women, and then by bringing those benefits to serious enthusiasts across all sports.

Golf is no different. Anyone who has lugged a bag round 18 holes will know it requires plenty of endurance to continue to play with consistence throughout your round. Under Armour's Stability Shirt is an incredible aid in that pursuit.

There is more technology packed into Under Armour's Stability Shirt than many clubs. In our opinion the most important element is the compression stabilisers in the lower back - the most vulnerable part of a golfer's body. The added support in this area really prevents muscle fatigue and kept us limber, fresh and swinging consistently throughout the round.

An added aspect of these compression areas is that they help regulate temperature, which meant not only were we kept strong we also stayed cool and fresh. There is a mesh section along the spine to improve ventilation and stop undue sweating and the use of Under Armour's HeatGear fabric ensures that sweat is absorbed, keeping the body dry.

The wonders do not stop there. The fabric used in the compression areas actually improve circulation, reducing the amount of lactic acid that builds up during play, which helps lower post-round stiffness and soreness.

The Under Armour Stability Shirt is responsible for saving at least two or three shots per round. You can double that on a really hot day or a long, or hilly, course. Our appreciation for the Stability Shirt grew when we went back to an old cotton t-shirt. We found it sweaty, and unhelpful beyond keeping us warmer on the first few holes. Like us, once you have tried the Under Armour Stability Shirt, you will not go back.
