Sports Product Review

In the age of specialization, my son is one of those vanishing breed of high school athletes who plays more than one sport. So when football weight training started up, he developed a blister right under his middle finger that made it impossible to swing the bat in his summer baseball league. Fortunately, the blister eventually healed, and now there will be no more problems with sore hands thanks to his new fitness gloves from Bionic, (www.bionicgloves.com).

Bionic Gloves focus on the anatomy of the palm, fingers and thumb. These areas of the hand have bony prominences, or, high points of the bone next to the skin. The friction of a barbell, 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 weight-bar, vastly improving both comfort and grip-strength. I’m sure my boy doesn’t understand or care about the science behind his Bionics. He says they feel great and make him stronger. They must look great too, because everyone has been asking him where he got them.

Working out in the weight room is not supposed to be easy. The team’s slogan is “No Pain—No Gain.” But pain that keeps you from doing your job doesn’t gain you anything. And tools like Bionic gloves, which not only allow you to continue doing your job, but do it better, help everyone get on the winning team.
