Benefits of technology

[0014] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a structurally improved golf glove capable of accelerating a club head as much as possible when swings are made, and maintaining good directivity, by maintaining correct swing form and / or correcting incorrect swing form when practicing or playing golf, and allowing the club head to impact exactly perpendicularly with a golf ball, thereby being innovative in increasing the flying distance of the golf ball.
[0015] In order to accomplish the above object and other objects, the present invention provides a golf glove to be worn by a golfer while practicing or playing golf, comprising: a glove body for maintaining and correcting golf swing posture, into which a golfer's fingers are inserted and which encloses a golfer's hand; a tightening means provided inside the glove body, providing elasticity, with which the glove body is brought into close contact with the golfer's hand; and a loop means having a looped strip shape, wherein the loop means has at least one end which is detachable from the glove body, the other end being fastened to the back of the hand of the glove body by at least one fastening means, and it is used by being looped around the rear end of the grip of the golf club.

Problems solved by technology

It is therefore a temporal and economic burden for golf beginners to learn the various methods and forms in a short period of time.
Especially for beginners, since even the forms for holding a golf club are so various, it is not easy to learn the correct forms at an early stage while they begin to practice golf.
Further, once even a skilled golfer has learned incorrect postures and has become accustomed to them, it is not easy to correct the incorrect postures.
Even for a skilled golfer, bad or incorrect postures will result in inefficiency or slow progress; since he or she is also unable to maintain consistent posture but changes it from time to time, the golfer would not play golf successfully.
However, if the wrist is bent toward the back or the palm of the hand, the cocking effect is degraded, and also no correct impact is made, which is a cause of missed shots.
At the final step of the backswing, the golf club should be in a straight line with the target line, but most beginners and even skilled golfers bend their left arms from the elbows at the peak point of the backswing, whereby the golf club excessively passes over the parallel line, thereby frequently causing over-swings.
This excessive over-swing causes incorrect impact, thereby resulting in missed shot and reduction in the flying distance of a golf ball.
However, the conventional golf glove 100 has no function such that the golfer may easily feel the close contact with the grip of the golf club, and it is not so useful in making stable swings.
Because of this, irregular and unstable swings have customarily been repeated, whereby the golfer is unable to control the flying distance of a golf ball as he or she wishes.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a structurally improved golf glove capable of accelerating a club head as much as possible when swings are made, and maintaining good directivity, by maintaining correct swing form and / or correcting incorrect swing form when practicing or playing golf, and allowing the club head to impact a golf ball exactly perpendicularly, thereby being innovative in increasing the flying distance of the ball. The golf glove used when practicing or playing golf includes a glove body for maintaining and / or correcting golf swing postures, into which a golfer's fingers are inserted, enclosing the golfer's hand, a tightening means formed inside the glove body, providing elasticity, with which the glove body is brought into close contact with the golfer's hand, and a loop means taking the shape of a looped strip, at least one end of which is detachable from the glove body, and the other end of which is fastened to the back of the hand of the glove body by at least one fastening means, wherein the loop means is looped around the rear end of the grip of the golf club. According to the present invention, the club head can be maximally accelerated in downswings, and correct and square impacts are made between the ball and the club head. Thus, good directivity can be maintained, thereby being innovative in increasing the flying distance of the golf ball.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to a golf glove with which a golfer's swings are corrected and, more particularly, to a structurally improved golf glove capable of accelerating a club head as much as possible when swings are made, and maintaining good directivity, by maintaining correct swing form and / or correcting incorrect swing form when practicing or playing golf, and allowing the club head to impact a golf ball exactly perpendicularly, thereby being innovative in increasing the flying distance of the golf ball. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] As well known to those skilled in the art, there is a variety of methods and forms for hitting a golf ball, holding a golf club, and making a swing. It is therefore a temporal and economic burden for golf beginners to learn the various methods and forms in a short period of time.
