@Hammer Head Swim Caps and @Guardian Caps share the same mission: protecting athletes by developing top-tier sports equipment. While swimmers and aquatic athletes won't get sacked, they can still suffer head injuries from collisions or wall impacts, especially backstrokers.

If you want to grow the pie, change the fruit! Golf hasn't really changed in over 100 years, it's still a ball, a club & hole game. The golf ball dictates the two biggest issues limiting growth, the distance of the course and the time to play, not to mention the overall difficulty of the game! So, if you want to offer a greater variance for growth, proportionally limit the distance of the ball to match the smaller course, which will shorten the time to play "economizing" the game to today's standards. Here's the Hybrid MD golf ball designed for efficiency, economy & enjoyment. Meets US Golf Standards, Made in USA.

https://lnkd.in/dCqQkTXg A year in the lives of six members of the Minnesota Roller Derby, as they compete to win the Hydra, the top international prize of the sport. When the star of the team gets injured, will her teammates find their own power? MINNESOTA MEAN is a human drama about the pounding heart of roller derby: powerful, self-sufficient women. It’s a vital and relevant story of triumph, loss, strength, determination, and a search for balance between individuality and community. How do women who pride themselves on their hard-won independence thrive in a sport that requires them to rely on a team? How do they meet the full-time demands of the sport without sacrificing their own dreams for life outside the rink? A meditation on strength: in our bodies, our hearts, our minds, and our friendships.

Impact Sports is working to protect youth athletes from concussion and traumatic brain injury. Weve designed and tested tackle as well as soft shell helmets that outperform top selling helmets on the market. Our technology is patented and performs unlike any helmet on the market. With "off the shelf" materials, we were able to outperform the VICIS zero one in FE Testing. VICIS blew through tens of millions of dollars to get to that point. We did it in 3 years and spent $250,000. With that said, raising money to move forward has been tough. We'd love to hear your suggestions/referrals for anybody interested in joining us as we work to better protect athletes. *****This is one test, at 18 ft/sec. The lower the SI, or severity Index, the better. Max "passing" score is 1200 (very poor score). This would qualify us for a 5 star helmet.....and we didn't test our "game ready" materials!

We love all the players and that is why we are here. The same helmet companies, the same results, and some folks just keep making the same decisions when it comes to helmets. Beyond the most important issue of player safety, what happens to a team when key players are lost? “We only wear ******* helmets…” Keeping players on field by reducing the kinetic energy and cervical structure stress in many impacts is a function of helmet weight. The most advanced helmets on the planet are not from the companies that have been making helmets and getting the same results for 90-100 years. https://lnkd.in/gXH9ANuy
