Stinger Sports’ New Batting Glove Technology Wins Prestigious Award at Annual ABCA
Stinger Sports Durable Batting Gloves
Stinger Sports creates the most durable batting gloves for baseball and softball players
FORT MILL, S.C., January 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The issue of batting gloves ripping during play has plagued baseball and softball players of all ages for decades. It seems that the issue has only grown in recent years as the price of batting gloves continues to rise as durability declines. Stinger Sports CEO Brandon Eaton set out to change this trend with the invention of the Award-Winning Secure Seam Technology. The patent-pending Secure Seam creates a reinforced seamless layer that reinforces the area where the vast majority of batting rips occur. This has been proven to more than double the life of batting gloves.
"As a baseball player and softball Dad myself, I know how frustrating it is to have batting gloves rip after just a short period of time," Brandon said. "We wanted to create a premium glove that would last longer and offer it for an affordable price. It's all part of our mission as a company to make the great games of baseball and softball more affordable by making quality gear accessible to more people."
The new batting glove technology was recently awarded the 24th Annual Best Of Show Award by Collegiate Baseball during the 2023 ABCA Convention in Nashville, TN. Baseball and softball players using the Stinger Batting Gloves across the U.S. have been reporting impressive longevity and durability. The revolutionary gloves range from $29.99 - $39.99 and can be purchased directly from the Stinger Sports website StingerSports.com.

As Baseball Season Begins With New Rules, ZetrOZ Systems’ sam Technology is Critical for...
TRUMBULL, Conn., April 28, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Baseball is back, which means balls and strikes, hits and homers - and hamstring injuries. Studies show baseball's most common injury, hamstring tendon tears, is more prevalent in the season's first weeks, as is a common elbow injury. And this spring, both could become more frequent as rule changes reduce players' recovery time between pitches and plays. One way to mitigate the risks of these injuries is ZetrOz Systems' sustained acoustic medicine sam® device, which effectively treats soft-tissue injuries and can help players stay on the diamond.
The ZetrOZ sam® X1 and 2.0 devices are the only FDA-cleared wearable ultrasound units approved for daily home use. The low-intensity, long-duration ultrasound technology expedites the injury healing process without invasive surgery or potentially addictive painkillers and is clinically proven by more than 40 studies to reduce pain and improve function.
"We work with medical professionals nationwide, from orthopedic surgeons to athletic trainers, and they have used sam® to successfully treat thousands of professional and amateur athletes," said Dr. George Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. "We know those injuries are more likely to occur at the start of a season, especially in baseball, and our technology can help mitigate risk and improve healing of those injuries."
Several studies document the prevalence of injuries early in a season. A 2019 study in The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine used six years of Major League Baseball's own injury tracking database to examine trends in hamstring injuries, which it found was the most common injury in baseball.
"In various professional sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB), hamstring strains have been found to occur earlier in the season. Our study found similar results, with the highest number of hamstring sprains in April and May," the authors reported. "These factors may have an association with poor conditioning at the start of the season."
About 40 percent of hamstring injuries occur in April and May, the analysis found. The rate of hamstring strains in Major League Baseball increased from one injury every 39 games in 2011 to one in every 30 games in 2016, with a similar trend in minor league baseball.
The pattern was the same in injuries to the elbow's ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), according to a 2021 report from the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, with April and May as peak months for UCL injuries. They also found that injuries within the first 90 days of the season were more severe, more commonly requiring surgery to repair them.
"Throwing athletes may have increased risk for an elbow injury at the start of the season because they have not attained midseason levels of muscle strength and endurance," the authors wrote. They also found that pitchers' shoulders had less range of motion early in the season, likely making them more vulnerable to injury.
Some observers fear injuries will be more common this year, with Major League Baseball now using a pitch clock that requires pitchers to throw to the batter within 15 seconds, or 20 seconds with a runner on base. That means pitchers have less recovery time between pitches, and batters have less recovery from swings or from running out foul balls.
A 2016 study in the Journal of Sports Science modeled the effects of the shorter rest period on pitching. The authors found that players would have more fatigue in the forearm muscles that stabilize the elbow, "increasing strain on the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and possibly increasing injury risk."
Treatment with ZetrOZ's sam® technology effectively treats injuries to tendons of the leg, elbow and other areas of the body. Among many studies demonstrating the system's efficacy, a 2015 level 4 clinical study by sports medicine experts at The Ohio State University and Duke University found sustained acoustic medicine delivered via ZetrOZ's sam® reduced pain and improved strength in patients' medial/lateral elbow tendons and Achilles' tendons.
Sustained acoustic medicine works by increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That increases oxygenated hemoglobin at the site of the therapy and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, with a result of more rapid healing and reduced pain.
"We know from our relationships with trainers across professional and college sports, as well physicians treating recreational athletes, that sam® heals athletes' soft-tissue injuries more rapidly and helps players stay on the field or return to it more quickly," Lewis said. "As baseball season begins and teams adapt to this new environment, sam® is available to help players stay healthy and on the diamond doing what they love."
ZetrOZ Systems' sam® technology was developed in part with funding from the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and NASA. ZetrOZ Systems products are designed and manufactured in the United States and are protected by 46 U.S. patents.

ZetrOZ Systems’ sam Technology Can Help College Athletes Recover From Injury
TRUMBULL, Conn., September 14, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Saturday afternoons in autumn mean college sports and the return of amateur athletes to their fields, gyms and stadiums. Student-athletes can stay healthier, heal more easily from soft-tissue injuries, and return to their sport more quickly with ZetrOZ Systems' sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) technology, now covered by secondary insurance for many colleges.
On average, more than 200,000 athletes in major National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sports are injured every year, according to a five-year study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015.
Researchers found high injury rates across many of the sports kicking off this fall. Among all sports, college football had the highest raw number of injuries - an estimated 47,199 over the five years. It also had one of the highest injury rates of all sports, with 9.2 athletes injured for every 1,000 athlete-exposures to potential injury (one athlete's participation in one competition or one practice).
Women's soccer had the next-highest injury rate among fall sports, with 8.4 injuries per 1,000 athlete-exposure. Among all sports, men's wrestling had the highest injury rate, at 13.1 injuries per 1,000 athlete-exposures. Women's gymnastics, at 10.4 injuries per 1,000 athlete exposures, had the greatest injury rate among women's sports.
Almost one out of four athlete injuries required more than seven days of recuperation before the athlete could return to practice or competition. Nearly half (45%) of all injuries were sprains and strains, and of those injuries, about one in four required a week of recuperation.
ZetrOZ Systems' sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) technology is proven to reduce the recovery period for those kinds of soft-tissue injuries. More than 40 clinical studies have shown that the ZetrOZ sam® X1 and 2.0 devices reduce pain and improve function without using invasive surgery or potentially addictive painkillers.
"We work with college athletic trainers nationwide, and we know that our sam® devices help heal athletes' soft-tissue injuries more quickly and help players return to practices and games sooner," said Dr. George K. Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems.
A 2022 study, by authors that included three respected college athletic trainers, examined sam® usage by 239 healthcare providers for treating injuries to tendons and ligaments, joints, large muscle groups, and bone. They reported that sam® provided clinical improvement in under two weeks in more than two-thirds of cases (68.9%) and resulted in a 50% reduction in pain medication. The study concluded sam® is an "effective, safe, easy-to-use, noninvasive, comfortable, and versatile therapeutic for healing musculoskeletal injuries."
In addition, a 2022 article published in Open Orthopedics Journal surveyed athletic trainers working in professional, collegiate, and military sports medicine to evaluate ZetrOZ's sam® technology. The study found that sam® is a "fast, simple topical application yielding rapid healing without causing additional trauma to suffering athletes." The study also included follow-up interviews with the athletic trainers. The researchers reported that "Candid input from professional athletic and military ATs shows a consensus that sam® is a superior healing technology."
A 2015 level 4 clinical study by sports medicine experts at Ohio State University and Duke University found sustained acoustic medicine delivered via ZetrOZ's sam® reduced pain and improved strength in patients' medial/lateral elbow tendons and Achilles tendons.
Sustained acoustic medicine works by increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That increases oxygenated hemoglobin at the therapy site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, resulting in more rapid healing and reduced pain.

Noteefy Launches With Faster, Easier Way for Golfers to Find & Book Tee Times
LOS ANGELES - October 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Today, Noteefy launches across Southern California with a faster, easier way for golfers to find and book tee times and meet great people to play with in their area. On their site, Noteefy.app, golfers set their playing preferences, then get personalized tee time availability alerts for free at the courses they love. Noteefy also provides golfers access to the 'Virtual Country Club,' an online forum to socialize with golfers in their geographic area and a 'tee time booking concierge' service at courses Noteefy is strategically partnered with.
See here a two-minute demo video of how Noteefy works.
Brian Reed, General Manager of Simi Hills Golf Course, took the lead in partnering with Noteefy and providing his golfers with awareness of the product: "We receive what seems like 500 calls a week asking about our tee time availability. Now I can just refer our golfers to Noteefy and take that burden off the SHGC staff, while providing the golfers with an improved booking experience. We have also set up our community page and are excited about the benefits."
Noteefy enters the market to solve the tee time booking challenges golfers have experienced amid a boom in golf playing activity and interest over the last two years.
While millions of new players picked up the game since COVID, (3.2 million new golfers began playing in 2021 - the highest levels of beginners on record, according to the NGF), a 2022 Noteefy survey of hundreds of golfers found that 80% expressed "difficulty" finding and booking their desired tee time and rated the process as "poor."
"I'm forced into waking up at 6 a.m., weeks in advance and calling and refreshing my favorite course homepage over and over again in hopes of getting a tee time. It's a painful and archaic process," said Justin Supowitz, an active L.A.-based golfer and early Noteefy user.
Not even the game's biggest executives were immune from tee time booking pain: Callaway Golf CEO: We can't even get tee times, golf courses are so busy.
As golf fanatics with backgrounds in VC-backed startups and emerging technology, Jake Gordon, Noteefy Co-founder and CEO, and Dathan Wong, Co-founder and CTO, knew there was an opportunity to improve this process.
After interviewing hundreds of golfers and course operators, Jake and Dathan realized golf booking demand did outpace tee time supply, but the key problem for golfers was actually that tee time inventory was siloed across individual course sites and not easily accessible. Golfers lacked a way to get accurate real-time visibility and awareness into all available times at the courses they love. No aggregator had this information.
"We discovered that if we could directly connect the golfer and their playing preferences with the supply of tee times directly on their desired course site (like Google Flights, Resy or Expedia) - everyone would win. The golfer gets the time they want, and the course keeps 100% of the booking revenue, while golfers get an improved tool," says Jake Gordon.
Noteefy plans to continue expanding partnerships with courses and operators (at zero cost) and is actively in conversations with many of the largest course operators to deploy Noteefy portfolio wide.
