- Here is the Brunswick Bionic Positioner adjustable bowling glove overview! I'll try all the adjustments with a few different bowling balls from different angles to see what it can do for my ball roll and rev rate.
If you have any questions or comments, drop them in the comments and I'll try to help

These are really good for people with carpal tunnel, arthritis, ect that struggle to throw a certain ball weight due to them.
However, for those without those problems, placing the ball weight properly in your hand during the pushaway (or hinge) is paramount.
Norm Duke explained this in his instructional videos:
"If I place the ball in such a way that the center of gravity gets on top of my fingers, rather than over the top of my palm, then the wrist will break backwards at the top of my swing due to the force of motion."
Thanks for the review. This is a great product. I recently had surgery on my hand. While recovering I started to use this product. It helped while everything is still healing. But like anything it is an individual thing where to set the setting too. It has improved my rev rate and release. I will be interested as I transition from it if possible. Again thanks for the review and advice on its use and effect of various settings.
As a disabled Veteran, I purchased this device to help me because I have a bad wrist, but enjoy bowling for fun. It has truly helped me to enjoy bowling without the wrist oain.
Great review. Watched your video on the Robby’s three and bought it and getting more and more comfortable with it not sure I can trust it for spares so I take it off but may try to get comfortable with it for spares also
I was bowling league night and something pulled in my wrist my 2 fingers went numb had to drop out rest of the night teammates had suggested a brace so i ordered the bionic i hope this helps
It should! Best of luck with the healing!
i've used this glove and many others Nick, and head slapped time. I just realize yesterday after years of using all types of gloves and supports that I was doing exactly what you said not to do, I was pulling my wrist up from a flat or neutral glove position, and I wasn't relaxing my hand, and allowing my hand to be truly supported by the glove. Any suggestion as to how to do that, or is it simply a matter of just telling myself to relax my hand? Because I now suspect that the reason why I struggled even using such a glove was because I was fighting it instead of relaxing and letting it do the work for me thank you.
If, If I had to use one, between the blue one Nick is showing or the other one Nick showed the red one with the finger? I would probably use the red one as it has a place for your finger in the proper position. Great job Nick and that you always show ppl that theirs hand devices and your verbal advice is great. Well done
I used wrist supports for a long while and then stopped using them and never looked back. I feel like they limited my range of motion. My revs went up immediately after ditching the wrist braces.
I have one that my coach had me start wearing a couple years ago because I struggled with my wrist breaking early causing me to dump it. I am now practicing without it so I can attempt to bowl the PTQ at Springfield MO in Feb.
How’s that transition going?
@@brunsnickbetter than I expected honestly. I’m able to keep my hand underneath and behind better than before.
@@brunsnickI recorded my purple and blue comparison today without it. Was very pleased.
Great review as always! Would’ve been nice to see your Specto data……not for the ball data so much but the average revs you experienced during different settings on the device. You hover around that 320-330 range a lot and I would be interested to see what it did for your stats!
Banned by the PBA ... now if they could ban 2 handed. They say the glove gives an unfair advantage, the same could be said about 2 handed. I say bowl how you feel comfortable. I use a glove because of old injuries to my shoulder,elbow. I'm much more consistent with it.
They should ban bowlers that think another style of bowling should be banned
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling Brunswick bionic positionitner bowling glove did this bowling glove work good Brunsnick
Hey Nick. Do you think this devices can be used as a complement to training? I dont have any conditions that hinder me from throwing my 15lb. In my case, I'm just failing to mentally adjust to when to properly uncup. Could something like this be good to use in practice and get maybe a few repetitions of seeing how you come out of the ball with this, then switching out of it and trying to replicate?
Yes absolutely. This will help train your wrist but it will come down to getting your reps in.
Do you follow thru into the handshake position?
I'll never understand why some people have hate towards products like these and with that said I hope you guys create a 2 handed variant down the line if possible or even feasable
I don't hate these things... in fact, I use one myself. However, in the absence of some significant injury, I seriously doubt you'll ever see a two- hander use any sort of brace. It's not gonna help them, and would likely be a hindrance in most cases. As a general rule they have no problems attaining high rev rates, and their non- dominant hand is supporting much of the ball's weight until a fraction of a second before the release anyway, so the whole "weak wrist" thing isn't an issue.
Do you think switching to a brace or glove like this one or Robby's would require a complete refit of your layout/span or is it adaptable? I've got a small tendon injury in my wrist and elbow....was thinking of using one of these while it heals
Great product, but only will last about a year or or two. The strap that goes around your hand will stretch out beyond the velcro. Getting another one for next season.
do you have to change your ball fit if you wear the glove?
No, not at all.
I have a mongoose that I've used in the past, but the Positioner looks interesting. And maybe could have thrown an axe at the 10-pin 😉
How do you know exactly what size you need? I guess I mean, how do you tell if the glove is too big or not big enough? Medium or large?
There’s a size guide on the website. brunswickbowling.com/products/accessories/gloves-supports/bionic-positioner
The C1 is probably the best one for anyone stating positioners shouldn't be adjustable. If you haven't tested that, try it. Easy to use and helped me relearn release after surgery. I do not use anymore but use for instruction.
Sidenote, use a wrist sock.
Nice demonstration. How would you compare and contrast this device from the Robbie’s Revs device?
Pretty much the same, just different cupping adjustment method.
You got out of the ball much faster. Ball on the lane must faster than usual. Is this a device that got outlawed on tour so the pwba stays away?
Not sure why they outlawed it.
@brunsnick According to them, any brace with "restrictive" materials such as plastic or steel that holds the wrist in a neutral position, and immobilizes the joint.
They said it is quote "to prevent giving a player an advantage."
It's just the regular PBA/PWBA that it applies to though. League bowlers are still ok
@@XenoGuru what I mean is nobody on tour uses them. So why the rule?
@brunsnick It's possible on a couple of fronts:
On the PWBA, quite a few of them do. It gives them an advantage of throwing a heavier ball than ones that don't.
On the PBA, since seniors on the PBA50 can still bowl on the regular tour, it would allow even the ones that don't need it to use them for an advantage.
I moreover think it's a "crossover" from seniors to the regular tour part that's a problem.
These devices are only illegal for PBA regional, PBA National and PBA 50 competition. It doesn’t apply to the women’s tour, USBC sanctioned events or leagues.
I‘m really not a fan of these things. If you cannot bowl without them, it‘s fine, but otherwise it just prevents you from building the necessary muscle and you‘ll have a hard time getting rid of it later.
No one ask you
No mechanical support, locks your wrist/hand in proper position, giving the bowler an advantage.
Huhhhhh?
Using mechanical support of any kind, especially wrist positioning, is an artificial advantage. Do not play dumb. Just a statement of fact, you remove a variable it makes it easier.
@@WILLIAMKLINE-by7qj I’m not playing dumb. Your original comment made no sense.
So....If I have arthritis in my wrist, and don't use the wrist brace of my choice, wouldn't that put me at a DISadvantage? Curious minds want to know...
@dalechrist5580 As far ad I am concerned, it is an aid which gives an unfair advantage. No different than Trans male playing women sports.
The equivalent of training wheels for bowlers.😉😁😃
I believe bowling should not allow mechanical aids for proper release. Golf does not allow you to wear anything that forces the arms or wrist into the "proper" positions. These should be allowed only for training, and never for sanctioned play.
This is 90s bowling now days the correct release requires to cup and uncup the wrist to make the so called yo-yo release
Thanks for this video. I picked one of these up for my wife for Christmas. She’s a new bowler I think will really help her a lot. She always releases on top of the ball. Hopefully this will help her stay under the equator.
How did the device help your wife? Did she find it worked better for her? Does she still use it or has she moved on form it?
@@EKBBQ2358 she hated it at first. Then she started seeing the results. It helped her improve a lot. It puts her hand in the correct position every time. Now she can get a consistent hook and release. She can bend her wrist backwards. Keep hand behind or below the ball now. Not on top.
