S12, Ep48, Pt2: More Distance Starts at Your Feet, It’s Not a Gimmick: The Sqairz Story with Bob Winskowicz
Description
On this week’s Next on the Tee, I’m joined by my good friend Bob Winskowicz, Founder and CEO of Sqairz Golf — the company changing the way athletes connect to the ground, generate power, and perform.
We start by celebrating Sports Illustrated naming Sqairz the Top Performing Golf Shoe of 2025 — another huge milestone for a brand that just keeps innovating. Bob shares stories from his days working alongside Arnold Palmer as a Senior Vice President, how that relationship shaped his approach to product design, and how Sqairz continues to honor legends like Sir Nick Faldo with special edition releases.
We also dive deep into the science behind the swing, discussing why the feet and knees are the true foundation of motion and power, and why the structure of a shoe — not flexibility — makes the biggest difference in distance and accuracy. Bob explains how Sqairz has expanded beyond golf into baseball, softball, and pickleball, where players are seeing real results: up to 9 MPH more exit velocity and a 70% improvement rate in swing power.
From new styles and partnerships (like the Coastal Riptide) to game-changing performance data, Bob breaks down how one innovative design is redefining what athletes can expect from their footwear. And of course, we wrap it up talking about our shared love for the Boston Red Sox, and how a little extra ground force might be just what they need next season.
If you’ve ever doubted whether shoes could change your game — this episode will make you think again.
