New golf glove designed by hand surgeon
Hillerich & Bradsby, the manufacturer of Louisville Slugger bats and gloves, has launched the new Bionic Golf Glove which is said to provide performance and benefits beyond the ordinary golf glove.
Created by Dr. Jim Kleinert, a leading orthopaedic hand surgeon, the Bionic Golf Glove is designed to aid the anatomical form and function of a golfer’s hand. Made of cabretta leather, anatomical relief pads placed between the hand’s bony prominences give wearers more control over their golf clubs, making them feel “at 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,” said Dr. Kleinert. “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.”
Not only is the glove said to be durable, it is claimed that it can even aid golfers who have arthritic hands and they have already received the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation. Independent testing for the Arthritis Foundation demonstrated that Bionic gloves improved strength in the hands of people with arthritis while helping reduce their pain.
