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 saevel25 · Posted

      I played in an outing a few years ago. The course was wet, and it was windy. We all did bad enough to reward us with a PCC of +1 (If I am remembering this correctly). So all of our differentials went up 1.  So, if that score is part of my best 8 out of 20. That means I am getting 1/8th of a differential improvement. For you to get a PCC, you need enough people submitting their score for handicap during that day. Let's say you were the only person who was submitting the score for handicap, odds are you are not getting a PCC.  Which is fine, because no handicap system can be that nuanced. I don't think you'd want it to be. Still, my statement is correct. It takes into account weather and abnormal difficult conditions.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I’ve been rather surprised how my original question relating to the logic behind “differential vs course handicap” elicited the responses expressed on this thread so far. I suppose it shows that there are many who have given this subject a lot of thought. I personally like the current system for the same reasons stated in the post by saevel25 and it works very well in our league. I just needed to get the reasoning/logic clear in my head so I could explain it succinctly to those who had questions. Regarding the ongoing discussion, the only tweak we make is only the scores made in league competition count. (We don’t use GHIN, we do the calculation ourselves.) The only additional thought I had is perhaps the powers that be can come up with a method, when doing the differential calculation, of giving greater weight to the rounds played more recently than those from 20 rounds ago. I’ve been testing this with an idea I had similar to the way colleges calculate GPA’s based on credits offered by different classes, but honestly, the complexity it adds to the calculation isn’t worth the trouble as any change made has proven to be inconsequential.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 102 11-21 Early practice session today. Flow drill, getting to lead side, and a bit of skills work. Really need to slow down and ingrain the "rotating" to lead side.  Feels weird-which is great, it means changes, I'm just going too fast right now.
