Abstract
A golf glove has four separate finer receiving portions and a separate thumb receiving portion. Counting from the thumb receiving portion, the second and third finger portions and/or the third and fourth finger portion are secured to each other over a substantial part of their length.
Description
- This invention claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/706019 filed Aug. 8, 2005.
- This invention relates to golf gloves.
- Most golfers wear gloves on one hand only when they are hitting a golf ball with a club. Right handed golfers wear a glove on their left hand and left handed golfers wear a glove on their right hand. This has become conventional, it being believed that using a single glove in this manner gives better control of the club. A glove is usually not worn while using a putter, it being believed in this case that when putting it is preferable for both hands to directly contact the putter.
- It is very well know that, even for professionals, it is difficult to consistently hit a golf ball with a club in an effective manner. There are many reasons for this. One reason may be that conventional gloves fail to enable a golfer to grip the club in the best manner possible.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a golf glove which enables a golfer to grip a golf club in a substantially improved manner.
- According to the invention, a golf glove has four separate finger receiving portions and a separate thumb receiving portion and, counting from the thumb receiving portion, the second and third finger portions and/or the third and fourth finger portions are secured to each other over a substantial part of their length.
- It has been found that such a glove in accordance with the invention provides a golfer with better control of a club when hitting a ball.
- Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
-
FIG. 1 shows the front of a golf glove in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a similar view of the front of a golf glove in accordance with another embodiment of the invention; and -
FIG. 3 shows the back of the glove shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring first to
FIG. 1 of the drawings, a golf glove has apalm receiving portion 12 with a hand receiving open end provided with acuff 14. The glove also has a separatethumb receiving portion 16 and four separatefinger receiving portions - In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the second and
third finger portions web portion 30. Similarly, the third andfourth finger portions web portion 32. Theweb portions - The golf glove shown in
FIG. 2 is basically the same as the golf glove shown inFIG. 1 and the same reference numerals are used for similar parts. However, in this embodiment, theweb portions third finger portions fourth finger portions FIG. 1 . - The front of the
palm portion 12 of the glove may also be provided with a stiffenedportion 38 which further serves to improve grip on the golf glove. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , portions of the back of the glove may be cut away in theknuckle areas 40 to improve flexibility of the glove and consequently improved golf glove grip. - The advantages of the invention will now be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art from the foregoing description of preferred embodiments. Other embodiments will also be readily apparent.
