| Abstract: |
A weight glove which positions weights both above and below the metacarpal region of a bowler's free hand. The weights are thus distally located on the hand of the bowler's free arm and are particularly weighted to counterbalance the one-sided pull of the bowling ball. The weights are anatomically shaped to allow the bowler to comfortably use his gloved hand with the weights in place.

What is claimed is:
1. A weight glove to be worn on a bowler's free hand comprising:
- a glove formed from a generally rectangular sheet of flexible material having a slot formed therethrough to accommodate the wearer's thumb;
- means for removably fastening said glove to the wearer's free hand;
- means for attaching a first anatomically shaped weight to said sheet to position said first weight adjacent the back of the wearer's hand;
- means for attaching a second anatomically shaped weight to said sheet to position said second weight adjacent the palm of the wearer's hand;
- said attaching means for said first and second weights comprising first and second weight receiving pockets each formed from attaching the edges of a cover sheet extending over the top of each of said weights to the surface of the glove,
- said second weight being adhesively affixed within said second weight receiving pocket to prevent movement of said second weight in said second pocket, and
- the combined weights of said first and second weights being sufficient to tend to counterbalance the one-sided pull of the bowling ball on the opposite side of the body during bowling in order to improve the balance of the bowler.
