| Abstract: |
An improved golf glove that encourages the proper placement of the golf club in the user's hand and enhances grip while providing a visual means of placement of the user's hand relative to the golf club to allow selection of different strokes. A novel pad which employs multiple layers and a tapered profile is located in the palm of the golf glove to ensure proper club placement over the knuckles of the hand and an enhanced grip. A graduated set of circular indicia are strategically aligned on the dorsal surface of the glove to allow the user to visually determine when the hand is in the desired grip by aligning the appropriate indicia over the shaft of the golf club; alignment over the largest circle ensures a "strong" grip, alignment over the smallest circle ensures a "neutral" grip.
