Bionic golf gloves


Because of hand problems
like arthritis and inflamed joints golfers in the US are turning to theraputic Silver golf gloves from Bionic, a leading company in glove research, design, and technology.

Over 95 percent of testers claimed the gloves eased hand fatigue and pain while playing golf, thanks to Bionic's has a patented anatomical pad system that evens out the surface of the hand 'filling in the valleys between finger joints' to helps offload sore and swollen joints and reduce discomfort when the club impacts the ball.

One Texas tester claimed: "You don't have to grip the club as hard so you have more control and better distance. I was able to hit my driver approximately 15 yards further."

Made from fine cabretta leather, they can be bought on line as single left or right-hand gloves (£14.99) or as pairs (£29.98) from

www.bionicgloves.com Versions of the gloves can also be used for riding and gardening.
