As your only point of connection with the club, your glove is an underrated piece of equipment. The wrong fit or one that’s worn out can cause issues with control, not to mention being uncomfortable to wear and opening yourself up to annoying, persistent blisters.

Bionic is a brand that has focused on enhancing a golfer’s experience through its glove technology, and its latest product is the Relaxgrip 2.0 DX, following on from the StableGrip 2.0 glove we also enjoyed in testing. The DX refers to the addition of the dual expansion zone which allows it to adjust to any length or width of thumb. Getting the right size of glove is critical, which is why Bionic offers everything from small to XXXL in standard and cadet (short thumb) sizing, right or left handed.

Slide the correct size of this particular glove on, like I did recently when I put it to the test, and the feeling is certainly unusual initially compared to the best golf gloves. The anatomical pads in the palm and fingers are said to promote a lighter grip pressure and I would agree in that I felt like I didn’t need to apply as much pressure or tension to keep a solid hold of the club. Remember that the shaping of these pads is not designed to offer assistance in how to hold the club correctly (perhaps leave that to the Me And My Golf True Grip glove), more to reduce hand fatigue and possibly increase the leverage you’re able to create.

You soon get used to the different feeling versus a traditional glove and I could see how using a glove like this would feel better for some golfers who are hyper sensitive in this area - but I don’t think I’ll be making the switch permanently. That said, where this glove really excels is in the fit and durability.

The mesh sections on the knuckles and fingers ensure you have just the right amount of movement while maintaining that snug, skin-hugging fit you need. This is helped by the pre-curved fingers, which just makes it feel more comfortable. The palm is made of a highly durable material, so where traditional cabretta leather gloves would show wear after less than a handful of rounds, the Bionic Relaxgrip 2.0 DX Glove just keeps on going round after round. For under $20, you’re getting a lot of glove for your money here.
