07/28/08 - Hilton Head Island, SC - - Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and Bionic Gloves, a division of Louisville Slugger, announced a sponsorship agreement to provide PTR teachers and coaches with special pricing on custom PTR Bionic Tennis Gloves.

Bionic Tennis Gloves provide greater racquet control, stronger hands for long matches and fewer blisters and calluses. They are the only tennis gloves designed by a leading orthopedic hand specialist. Their patented Anatomical Pad System maximizes grip strength, while motion, web and expansion zones throughout the glove provide complete flexibility and comfort. Coolon™ moisture control evaporates perspiration quickly to reduce slippage, ensuring greater racquet control. Designed for all levels of play, the gloves have been tested and proven beneficial for individuals with arthritis.

PTR CEO, Dan Santorum has been wearing Bionic Gloves on both hands since they were introduced at our Trade Show in February. “Bionic Gloves not only give me a superior grip in hot and cold weather, but they provide much needed sun protection on the most exposed part of a teaching pro - my hands,” said Santorum.

PTR members can purchase a single glove ($19.95) or a pair ($29.95) through PTR’s online Pro Shop at www.ptrtennis.org or by calling 800-421-6289. They can also be purchased directly from the manufacturer at www.bionicgloves.com

PTR is the largest global organization of tennis teaching professionals with more than 13,300 members in 122 countries. It has the greatest percentage of multicultural and women members of any such organization. PTR is dedicated to educating, certifying and servicing tennis teachers and coaches around the world in order to grow the game.
