The Bionic Golf Glove is my newest golf accessory and one that I can’t quit talking about. Sorry, I’ve gotten ahead of myself… let me start at the beginning.
I am a beginning golfer and have found out that, well there’s just nothing like the game of golf in my mind. Because of my husband.
And in my quest to become a decent golfer, I have found that I really love golf accessories!
I love to check out the next latest and greatest thing on the market as well as the tried and true accessories. Most golf accessories are well designed and definitely add to the golf game.
As a Christmas gift last year, my family gave me a subscription to Golf for Women. I read it cover to cover and then I save each edition and find myself referring back to them re-reading articles, or checking out the pictures of the pros and the analysis of their shots.
Since I am always on the lookout for anything that could help to improve my game, I found myself taking a second look at an advertisement in Golf for Women for the Bionic Golf Glove. It didn’t take long to convince me after reading the advertisement that I knew that I needed to try to this golf. So, I jumped online and found the glove at Austad’s Golf store and bought a Bionic Golf Glove for myself and found myself eagerly planning my next round of golf.
With this luxurious golf glove tucked into my golf bag, I headed off to the club for a round of golf with my friend.
It only took that initial round of golf before I was totally hooked on this glove.
Funny how quickly it happened but that golf glove jumped up to the top of the list of “must-haves” in my golf bag. When I was done with the round of 18 holes, it was incredible because my hand hardly felt like I had even played a round of golf. My hand which previously was always so tired after every round of golf now felt ready to go another 18!
The Bionic Golf Glove was designed by a nationally recognized orthopedic hand surgeon to mimic the movements of the hand itself. This golf glove moves so easily with you and replicates the hand’s natural movements so precisely that you hardly realize that you even have the glove on your hand.
The best part of the design of this fabulous golf glove is the relief pad. In the advertisement I read in Golf for Women it talked about the relief pad which “evens out the surface of the hand…causing you to instinctively adopt a lighter grip”. This was one thing that I was sure hoping I would find to be true when I purchased the glove and guess what…I wasn’t disappointed!
I think it may have something to do with the fact that I am a beginning golfer and still a bit nervous on the golf course, but I have a real tendency to tightly grip the club with each swing. Of course this not only causes fatigue, but it also causes me to have poorer swing control. Both of these issues cause a challenge on the golf course and like I’ve said before I need all the help I can get on the golf course!
Because of the anatomically correct design of the glove, it moves so easily with each movement you make. Seriously, it seems like a custom-fitted golf glove. Part of the design was even created to allow your hand to close naturally not stiffly like so many of the golf gloves I’ve tried.
My new golf glove was dirty and a pretty sweaty after several rounds of golf …so I tossed in the washer on the delicate cycle, laid it out to dry on my kitchen counter and a couple of days later off I was back on the driving range for some more practice.
I told you I was a beginner and I try to get in at least a couple of hours of practice on the range each week. After I washed my newest golf accessories and let it dry, I found the glove to be incredibly soft and supple… something that I really didn’t expect. If I haven’t told you recently… I love this golf glove!
