Golf Glove

Abstract

A golf glove is provided with a plurality of finger stalls having an upper portion and a lower portion wherein the lower portion includes a protective covering with a moisture absorbing material for location below the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joint and above the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints. The lower portion may also include an elastic material covering the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] In the development of gloves, several key elements are utilized in the design. First, on the dorsal side of the glove, the motion zones are determined by the center axis of rotation of the individual thumb, finger, hand, and wrist joints. These motion zones have been applied to specific joint locations for the particular uses of a designed glove. This helps the flexibility of the glove in relationship to its use. As such, the motion zones are selected in various combinations or even individually depending on the specific task or function of the glove.

[0008] Secondly, on the palm side of the glove there are additional motion zones. Again, these motion zones, which also function to decrease glove impedance and improve the breath-ability of the glove, are located specifically in relationship to the center axis of rotation of the finger joints.
