Golf glove with club handle stop

Abstract

A golf glove provides a positive stop for the end of a golf club handle and a resilient pad for seating the golf club handle against the glove. The stop reaches across the glove palm and angles towards the small finger and has a wall extending perpendicular to the wearer's palm for the handle to abut against. The resilient pad fills a concave portion of the palm to provide a substantially flat surface for the golf club handle to seat against.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to golf gloves and in particular to a golf glove with a golf club handle stop.[0002]In many sports utilizing hitting or driving implements, achieving a consistent grasp of the implement is important in success. Especially in golf, a slight error in the angle of hitting the ball may result in a disastrous shot. Generally, the handle of the golf club extends through the golfer's hands, and the precise position of the golfer's hands on the golf club handle may be difficult to repeat. Further, a golfer's grip on the club handle may be limited when the handle can slide against the golf glove's surface.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention addresses the above and other needs by providing a golf glove which provides a positive stop for the end of a golf club handle and a resilient pad for seating the golf club handle against the glove.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a golf glove with a stop and a resilient pad for stabilizing a golf club handle. The stop reaches across the glove palm and angled towards the small finger, with a wall facing the golfer's fingers. The resilient pad fills a concave portion of the palm to provide a flat surface for the golf club handle to seat against. The palm harness includes a first strap and a second strap engaged by the golfer's hand for correctly positioning the harness on the palm of the golfer's hand. The stop attached to the palm harness reaches across the palm from near the base of the golfer's thumb and angled away from the horizontal towards the base of the small finger when the fingers are pointed downwards. The resilient pad extends from a wide end of the pad proximal to the face of the stop to a narrow end of the pad residing along an index finger of the golfer wearing the glove or palm harness. The resilient pad fills a gap between the golfer's palm and the golf club handle to provide a firm grasp."
