Hillerich & Bradsby Introduces Revolutionary Bionic Golf Glove at PGA Fall Expo.


LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Patented Designs by a Hand Surgeon Hand surgeons are a surgical subspecialty specializing in the care and treatment of problems relating to the hand, wrist, and elbow. Hand surgeons do not just engage in surgery - they are the primary medical doctors to deal with these issues, and often use non-surgical approaches.  Increase Performance, Aid in Comfort, Help Players with Arthritis

Designed by a world renowned orthopedic hand surgeon, the new hi-tech, patented Bionic(TM) Golf Glove is drawing raves from golfers who've tested it. From Hillerich & Bradsby, the makers of Louisville Slugger, the Bionic Golf Glove provides performance and benefits beyond ordinary golf gloves. Its patented anatomical and ergonomic design equips golfers with comfort, control, confidence and durability. The Bionic Golf Glove can even aid golfers who have arthritic hands.

How can a leather glove A leather glove is a fitted covering for the hand with a separate sheath for each finger and the thumb. This covering is composed of the tanned hide of an animal (with the hair removed), though it is not uncommon in recent years for the leather to be synthetic.  do all of this? The Bionic Golf Glove, created by Dr. Jim Kleinert, one of the world's top orthopedic hand surgeons, is designed to aid the anatomical form and function of a golfer's hand. Patented anatomical relief pads placed between the hand's bony prominences give wearers more control over their golf clubs, making them feel "one with the club."

"The benefits come from the patented anatomical design of the gloves including pre-rotated fingers, motion zones, and anatomical relief pads," Dr. Kleinert said. "The pads are a key feature because they fill in the valleys of the fingers to give the golfer better contact with the club grip."

Players at all levels who've tested the glove say they have more control of their clubs with the Bionic Golf Glove than with other gloves they've worn, and that control helped them make shots and increase their confidence to make shots. Confidence means improved accuracy, especially for the average golfer. Independent tests of the Bionic Golf Glove revealed that mid and high handicappers preferred the Bionic glove over the leading golf glove because of the additional control of their clubs the technology gave them.
