Bionic Golf is going manly. Okay, perhaps more manly. The company is adding a black glove to its popular high-tech golf glove line.
 
“While the original Bionic Golf Glove with white Cabretta leather and black accents has always been considered attractive and distinctive, golfers know Bionic first and foremost as the glove with technology; technology that provides comfort and unmatched performance,” said Bionic Golf marketing director Cheryl Fink. “Now, with the new black Bionic Golf Glove for men, we’re also being recognized for a great masculine look as well.”
 
Recently approved by the U.S. Golf Association, the Bionic Golf glove is one of the great stories of the best few years. It’s the only glove on the market well-known orthopedic hand specialist, Dr. Jim Kleinert.
 
The Bionic black glove, Fink said, has the same technology as the original white glove with black accents, “It’s just a little more understated.”
 
A Bionic Golf glove (suggested retail price $24.95), Fink said, creates less tension in the hands, wrists, forearms and shoulders and allows for increased swing speed and greater distance.  Fink said Bionic’s patented anatomical relief pad system also provides better club control than standard gloves, helping golfers hit straighter, more accurate shots.
 
“No other glove company has studied hand anatomy and function like Bionic,” Fink said.  “We’ve worked with one of the world’s top hand specialists to design ergonomic gloves that work with the hand rather than against it like other golf gloves.”
