HILLERICH
& BRADSBY INTRODUCES REVOLUTIONARY
BIONIC™ GOLF GLOVE
Patented designs by a hand surgeon increase
performance, aid in comfort, help players with arthritis
renowned orthopedic hand surgeon, the new hi-tech, patented Bionic™ Golf Glove is drawing raves from
golfers who’ve tested it. From Hillerich
& Bradsby, the makers of
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 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, which helped them make shots and increase their
confidence. 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.
ARTHITIS FOUNDATION EASE-OF-USE
COMMENDATION
Bionic gloves are the first and only
gloves to receive the Arthritis
Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation. Independent
testing for the Arthritis Foundation demonstrated that Bionic gloves can
significantly improve strength in the hands of people with arthritis while
helping reduce their pain. Users who
tested Bionic gloves reported that they could perform better and with less pain
while wearing the gloves compared to bare handed.
“Easy-to-use products can reduce
stress on joints, and make everyday tasks easier for all people,” said Dr. John
H. Klippel, Arthritis Foundation president and CEO.
The result - Bionic Golf Gloves can help people with
arthritic hands who’ve stopped playing golf get back on the course, and help others play the game they love more
often!
GREATER
DURABILITY
Of course, durability is important
to golfers. No one likes paying $15 to
$24 for a new golf glove every six or seven rounds. That’s why golfers who have tested the Bionic
Golf Glove are clamoring about its durability, with reports of as many as 15
strenuous rounds of golf played in one glove without noticeable wear or the
start of breakdown.
And Bionic’s soft cabretta leather,
pre-rotated design, strategically placed anatomical relief pads and motion
zones help a golfer’s hand interface with the club, making the Bionic Golf
Glove amazingly comfortable and durable.
“Palm padding helps unload stress on
the hamate bone, where injuries frequently occur in sports that use a club,
bat, or racquet,” Dr. Kleinert said. “Pads
in the fingers provide protection from blisters and calluses.”

TECHNOLOGY FROM H&B
Bionic Technology is a new division
of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., makers of Louisville Slugger baseball and
softball bats and equipment, PowerBilt golf equipment, and TPS Hockey
gear.
The technology was first developed
for hockey gloves, then evolved to catcher’s mitts and first base mitts in
baseball, then batting gloves for baseball.
A Bionic Gardening Glove is being launched nationally and has also received
the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation.
“Just like we’re helping improve the
quality of life for gardeners, we also hope to improve the quality of life for
golfers who wear this glove, getting people with hand problems back on the golf
course to play the game they enjoy so much,” said Bionic’s Dr. Kleinert.
The gardening gloves have been positively
reviewed or written about in more than 60 publications, including Forbes,
Fortune, Better Homes & Gardens, and the L.A. Times, as well as being noted
on ABC’s Good Morning America as Rebecca Kolls “favorite glove.”
In addition to Bionic Golf and
Bionic Gardening Gloves, H&B’s Bionic Technology Division is producing an
Extended Wear Gardening Glove, a Pro Work Glove, as well as gloves for the
equine industry and a dress/driving glove.
A variety of other gloves are in various stages of development. The division continues to assist H&B’s
in baseball and softball, including the evolution of a new youth fielding
glove.
