Bionic Glove

One of the keys to a more efficient swing and more distance is a relaxed hand grip. A new golf glove by Bionic Golf—a division of the Hillerich & Bradsby Company that has been around for 130 years and is famous as the makers of the Louisville Slugger baseball bats—promises to help players achieve just that.

The RelaxGrip 2.0 is specifical­ly designed to help golfers achieve a more relaxed grip on the club and is built with a patented relief pad system that evens out the contours of the hand and provides a better grip through all conditions.

Getting the grip right is among the most challengin­g aspects of golfing that can create a fair amount of stress. Like a winter glove automatica­lly warms your hands, the RelaxGrip 2.0 adds an extra relaxation layer to your hand, providing instant control and balance.

“The new RelaxGrip 2.0 helps golfers release pressure and unleash their best game on the course” said Ana Rodas, Director of Product Developmen­t at Bionic Gloves. “Golfers will love the ‘autorelax’ layer this glove provides with our signature comfort, fit and durability.”

Bionic Gloves are designed by a leading orthopedic hand specialist and offer ergonomic technology that is wholly unique. Through extended research, patented features and top-grade materials, users enjoy second-skin comfort, enhanced gripping power and durability that lasts.

Among the features of this glove are not only a lighter grip with the strategica­lly placed patented relief pad system that helps even out the surface of your hand, but a reduction of hand fatigue with a patented pre-rotated finger design that complement­s the natural closure of the hand. The Terrycloth micro-pads inside the gloves absorb moisture, while Lycra motion and web zones allow for maximum breathabil­ity.

This glove offers a better range of motion, fit and feel with Lycra

gussets, alongside web and motion zones that minimize bunching of material and allow for more dexterity. Easy grab-tab makes glove removal simple and quick. The new multi-dimensiona­l honey-comb material adds elasticity for more comfort and a cool sleek look. It is also safe for hand and machine washing. RelaxGrip® 2.0 is available at www.relax-your

grip.com as well as select retailers and pro shops.

Golf Pride MicroSu

It appears that one of the oldest, most basic parts of the golf club is part of a technology race these days as manufactur­ers are introducin­g increasing­ly more advanced grips with loads of new features and improvemen­ts to enhance the playing experience and help build a better swing.

In what has evolved into a grip wars, each of the major companies that produce grips are introducin­g more models with ever more technology and features—which is really a treat for the golfing public.

Golf Pride®, which boasts of being used by 80% of all players on the profession­al tours, has upped the ante in the field of grip tackiness and softer feel with the recent introducti­on of its Tour Wrap MicroSuede grip that comes in a distinctiv­e smoke grey color and offers an exceptiona­l blend of traction and feel that is a solid advancemen­t over the popular Tour Wrap 2G and CP2 Wrap, which comprise nearly 40% of Golf Pride sales.

As part of the Tour Wrap family, this new grip features the popular wrap style grip constructi­on for enhanced finger nesting. The wrap grip design provides a differenti­ated feel, which players continue to gravitate towards while the new MicroSuede finish gives added traction and a new design for players to more effectivel­y manage moisture in higher humidity areas or wet conditions. The soft brushed finish is very easy on the hands yet gives a solid feel even in the most hot and humid conditions.

“The Tour Wrap franchise has an incredibly loyal following,” noted Bruce Miller, product manager, Golf Pride. “In fact, the Tour Wrap is Golf Pride’s 3rd best-selling grip series. This new MicroSuede technology feels very different than anything else in the family. While the Tour Wrap 2G is renowned for delivering high tack, the new Tour Wrap MicroSuede provides incredibly soft traction. It instantly conveys confidence, while providing a unique feel, different than any other wrap style grip we have made.”

The Tour Wrap MicroSuede is available in both standard and midsize and is in retail stores now.
