ORLANDO, FL- Today’s golfers are as likely to hit the gym as go to the range and pound balls. That’s because today’s golfers understand the benefits of physical fitness; strength, flexibility, and stamina. But, on the down side, weightlifting, cycling, and squeezing the handles of elliptical machines can cause hand fatigue, blisters, and calluses detrimental to gripping a golf club.
Now there’s a way for golfers to ensure they take good care of their hands while working out in the gym. It’s with the new anatomically and ergonomically designed Bionic® Fitness Glove, introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. It’s made by Louisville Slugger®, the high performance sporting goods company that introduced the Bionic Golf Glove – the fastest growing glove in golf.
The Bionic Fitness Glove, Bionic Golf Glove, and other Bionic Glove products can be found in booth #6534.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN ENHANCES PERFORMANCE, PROVIDES COMFORT
Designed by a leading orthopedic hand surgeon, the patented Bionic Fitness Glove improves comfort and control and helps overcome hand discomfort associated with lifting, cycling and other training exercises. Scientific padding on the lower fingers and palm reduce calluses and blisters. They also provide extra support to joints and improve grip. Bionic Fitness Glove wearers can concentrate on doing their exercises properly instead of focusing on hand pain.
Made with a Cool Max material, Lycra, and digital sheepskin for breathability and comfort, the Bionic Fitness Glove is machine washable. Just air dry and it’s supple, durable, and ready for more workouts.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY FOR MANY APPLICATIONS
Bionic Gloves, from the makers of Louisville Slugger, are designed for a wide variety of uses. They’re made for golf, light gardening, heavy gardening, professional work, dress/driving, equestrian sports, and now for fitness training.
Bionic Fitness Gloves extend the line of Bionic glove technology originally developed for professional athletes in the NHL and Major League Baseball. Many more Bionic Gloves for sports and recreation are under development.
Until Bionic, most gloves were simple pieces of leather, cloth, or a synthetic material cut in the shape of a hand. Most gloves didn’t fit wearers well.
Studies show that gloves typically reduced grip strength and caused hands to tire. That’s because cumbersome glove materials resisted natural hand functions of pinching, gripping, and turning.
But Bionic Gloves are different. Bionic’s supple, washable sheepskin leather and many patented ergonomic and anatomic designs work in concert with the human hand. Together, they support hands and provide remarkable comfort. Wearers say Bionic Gloves, "fit like a second skin." Their snug yet flexible and comfortable fit support hands to keep them fresh, while helping ward off blisters and calluses.
RAVE REVIEWS FOR BIONIC
Bionic golf, gardening, equestrian, and driving gloves have been positively reviewed or written about in more than 200 publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Better Homes & Gardens, Town & Country, Golf Digest, Sports Illustrated, New York Times, and the L.A. Times, as well as being featured on CNBC’s "Power Lunch" and noted on ABC’s Good Morning America as Rebecca Kolls "favorite glove."
