How is this glove different from say golf, or gardening gloves?
Two top differences would be the leather and flexion points. In the gardening world you need thicker leather for protection and do not need the flexion zones. The tennis gloves have thinner leather for a better racquet feel and to be cooler. When you’re holding the racquet the flexion lets you close yourfingers and get a grip on the racquet for more control. The tennis gloves have flexion zones where all the joints are. Q: How will wearing the gloves affect players with arthritis? A: Historically, gloves are entirely a single layer because a double layer glove can be quite restrictive for gripping. The Bionic Glove is made as a single layer for enhanced flexibility around your joints with combination layers elsewhere in the glove to form to valleys in your hand. The combination layers make your grip of the racquet more comfortable as opposed to just a single layer. They also have an off-loading effect on the joints that aid in relieving pressure.
