Finding why
Ikagai
Ikagai is a Japanese concept on how to find your why. It asks... what are you good at, what does the world need, what you enjoy doing and what can you get paid for.
our why
WHY
Our adaptation of Ikagai is what I call 'dimensions' which I coined through my self development journey. Basically they are the areas I spend my time.
The diagram with my five dimensions... Sport, Career, Personal Development, Create & Connect. At the intersection is where I have found my Ikagai... that being Sole in One.

Why Play Golf
Golf is fun (sometimes) and is good for you. It is social, competitive, involves exercise and gets you out in nature.
A 2021 study found that golf significantly reduces stress and anxiety, with 80% of golfers reporting improved mental health. In addition, A Swedish study found a 40% lower mortality rate amongst golfers, relative to non-golfers. That means a potential extra 5-years of life – regardless of age, or gender!
About Technology
Technology
The 'fin' shaped design of the cleat has been specifically designed and tested to provide grip whilst limiting direct protrusion to the ground. Fun Fact: The inspiration for the design concept came from 'beyblades'.
The Sole in One is Patent Pending, Trademarked and Certified Registered Design.
