bought it, hit 5 shots at the range with it, loved it, gave it away because its non-conforming (unless you have arthritis, which i dont). it felt great, but i didnt want to get used to it so i gave it away to a buddy.

What, illegal or are you guys pulling my leg?
How can it matter?
I have arthritis, CTS, and tendonitis, anything can help. My big ? is, do those extra pads get in the way or feel uncomfortable?

it actually helps me in my grip position...

why is it illegal, one of golfs many mysterious rules... its probably considered a training aid

the extra padding only helps, trust me... I dont have any problems with my hand

Thanks DD.
I just read sandtrap
s review on the ruling. WHat a crock of....! Plain and simple stupid. What's to stop them from banning guys taping their fingers and such.
I almost bought one today, but bought the FJ orange flexy one instead. I'll have to try the Bionic and see if I can get banned:>)

I've used it the past 2 rounds, including this past Saturday where the temps reached the mid 90's. Very good glove and you actually are able to grip the club a little more lightly, imo, than normal.

I have one and I love it. And since I'm not on the pro tour and haven't played in tournaments, I couldn't care less if it's non-conforming (I think my driver is NC too for that matter). It really does help you grip the club more lightly. You may get a similar effect by using one of those soft, tacky Winn grips, which I'm assuming are conforming if that's important to you.

After a couple of wrist surgeries and bad arthritis, you guys think these things will help? I can barely even zip up my zipper after 12 holes on a cold day.

I had a broken hambi (no idea how to spell that) bone in my right hand last season and this glove helped fight through the pain

I got one from the Louisville Bat factory. It is a touch too thick for my comfort to use. I use midsized Winn grips; however.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
