Urban Golf and the Bionic Glove

Better Swing and You Look Good Too..!

Because the awful truth is that I just can't seem to get the hang of conventional golf - I've taken up "Urban golf" (check the AC archives for the article). For Urban Golf not only do you not need a golf course but you don't need much skill either. It's easy to excel at a sport that doesn't require much skill (which is why I'm really good at licking stamps).

Now that I've gotten the hang of Urban Golf I have picked up a few accessories, because accessories are cool. One such item is a bionic glove. Which may be a useful game enhancer if your on the PGA Tour, but doesn't do much when your bouncing rubber balls of the hoods of parked cars at midnight.

No matter. "Look Good, Play Good" that's my motto, darn it.

According to bionic gloves.com, the Bionic Golf Glove is unlike traditional golf gloves because it helps regain club control. With innovative features based on anatomy, the Bionic Glove combats hand characteristics that interfere with game play. Hand position and grip is an essential component to the golfer's swing. And unfortunately, the anatomical nature of the hand causes a variety of problems that interfere with performance. The Bionic golf glove is scientifically designed to even the playing field. Granted, there's not much of a playing field when you're launching balls down main street, but still golf-equity IS important.

According to Equip2golf.com, Bionic Gloves also incorporate the anatomy of the palm, fingers and thumb. These areas of the hand have bony prominences -- high points of the bone next to the skin. The friction of a tool, baseball bat or golf club against the bony prominences cause blisters, calluses and hand fatigue. Bionic Gloves feature strategically placed pads to reduce the pressure and friction caused by gripping a tool or a golf club. Both comfort and grip strength are vastly improved.
