Many of the worlds finest touring professionals use Terris Golf® golf gloves during competition and training, including our own 2001 United States Senior Open Champion, Bruce Fleisher.
And here's why:
All Terris Golf® golf gloves are designed to protect golfers of all ages from injury without restriction of motion of the digits or wrist during the golf swing.
Terris Golf® gloves are effective in preventing the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions for the already injured athlete, as well as reducing the risk of development of additional problems, (Secondary Injuries).
In the case of the yet UNINJURED or YOUNG player, PROTECTION FACILITATES PREVENTION!
Reducing the risk of injury is the best way to maximize enjoyment and comfort, thus increasing the golfers potential to improve performance during training and actual play.
Recognizing that significant shock and vibration are produced upon impact of the golf club with the ball and the turf, Terris Golf® innovation and cutting edge design focuses on providing the ultimate shock reduction and vibration dampening to the golfer.
This is accomplished through the incorporation of Akton® Viscoelastic Polymer.
-
Akton® was designed to reduce pressure, vibration and shock and has full memory.
Akton® will not deform except to dissipate impact.
Because there is no compromise to the integrity of the polymer, it will remain unaltered in its shape, even during repeated use.
Akton® is even used in the firearms industry to significantly reduce the impact of recoil.
- Terris Golf's® incorporation of Akton® polymer pads within our golf products reduces the shock suffered by particular structures of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder.
Each design has been developed to address specific injuries seen in the golfer.
The placement of pads in the Terris Golf® "Competition Series I", the "Training Edition" and the placement of additional leathers at the thumb in the "Competition Series II" have been designed in response to the years of testing and feedback collected from some of the worlds best professional golfers and by the injured recreational player.
Repetition is inherent in the game of golf as it is the best way to train and improve.
Repetitive stress is experienced on the driving range as well as on the course.
- Reducing shock and vibration translated from the shaft of the club to the hand upon impact allows the tissues of the hand, wrist, arm and shoulder to better tolerate the repetitious activity.
One of the keys to successful golf is the ability to feel.
It's the ability to feel the club properly in your hands and to feel your swing.
Proprioception simply is the ability to be consciously and unconsciously aware of the position of our body parts and to sense and respond to the body as it changes position, (body to brain / brain to body communication).
- Proper feedback allows for coordinated, efficient and well executed motor action.
- Top level athletes have a highly defined sense of proprioception.
-
Proprioceptive information is transmitted to the brain from receptors imbedded in skin joints, ligaments and muscles.
Injury and repetitive stress to these tissues cause the receptors to function inefficiently.
When a golfer address' the ball, they position their hands to get "the right feel", and upon initiating the golf swing are totally dependent on proprioception to maintain the club as it was during the address.
-
Terris Golf® is the only company ever to offer products for the golfer that actually enhance proprioception by increasing the efficiency of feedback or "feel".
Terris Golf® uses only the finest goat skin leather when producing gloves and the difference is obvious! Terris Golf gloves will:
- Last Longer
- Give Far Greater Support To The Hand
- Allow The Hand To Breathe Better And Eliminate Perspiration More Effectively
- Fit Better
- Stretch Less
