May the force – or should I say G Force – be with you!
Posted on October 26, 2012 by Andrew
The G Force is the newest addition to Goldline’s curling shoes. “Our real target for the G Force shoe was the younger curler. We saw many strong curlers coming up through the bantam and junior ranks who were clearly ready for a shoe with a ¼” slider, but the price point on these shoes was really too high for them. Our aim was to produce a high performance shoe with a ¼” slider that would retail for under $200.”
