Rawlings Introduces Zoombang™ Generation II

Rawlings' next generation of football shirts and girdles is here, with a zoom and a bang.

Rawlings Zoombang™ Generation II shirts and girdles are 30 percent lighter than Generation I, don’t gain weight as you sweat and are more shock absorbent.

More than 250 professional football players wear these shirts and girdles, which absorb up to 80 percent of impact forces and dissipate energy and shock from hits while still being lightweight and flexible.

This padding won't dry out, freeze or melt. It offers high-impact protection that does not break down over multiple impacts.

Zoombang™ equipment was developed through collaboration with respected professional trainers, equipment managers and professional athletes. The unique Zoombang™ viscoelastic polymer is a semi-solid, plastic-like material that is extremely soft at rest and conforms to any shape but instantly behaves as a solid on impact.

The Zoombang™ material is soft and fluid-like to the touch. On impact, the Zoombang™ molecules lock together, spreading the shock to provide maximum protection. After impact, Zoombang™ material returns to its original state.

RawlingsGear.com carries an entire line of compression shirts and girdles with Zoombang™ polymers for football players. See the sizing chart to determine your size.

Visit RawlingsGear.com or contact a Rawlings Gear Customer Care representative at (866) 678-GEAR(4327) to purchase Zoombang™ for Rawlings football protective apparel.

Rawlings' New Tape Balls Focus on Improving Contact

Rawlings has added a new training ball to its 5-Tool Program.

Rawlings 5” Tape Balls (model number TAPEBALL12IN) were developed to match the weight and feel of rolled up athletic tape. Tape Balls are ideal for improving contact as you work on your hitting skills, and their extra weight gives you better swing feedback and trajectory.

They are made for use with Rawlings' 5-Tool Hand-Eye Bat or Lite Stick, both of which are available in adult and youth versions.

At the size of a golf ball, they can't be used in pitching machines.

Tape Balls feature a rubber core and a Polyurethane cover. They weigh 26 grams.

Get them at RawlingsGear.com in a 12-pack.

The 5-Tool Training Program is Rawlings' partnership with Ripken Baseball to take players of all ages to the next level. The program focuses on the fundamental skills of the game—fielding, throwing, hitting for average, hitting for power and running speed.

Every 5-Tool Training product includes drills and instructions to help you improve your baseball performance.
