| Abstract: |
An athletic glove for baseball players, and which includes a pad overlying the second phalange of each of the third and fourth fingers, to thereby increase the force which these fingers are able to apply to the bat. In use, the third and fourth fingers on the glove hand, and the first and second fingers on the other hand, form hinged control points at the extremities of the two hands, thereby improving the leverage which is imparted to the bat, and facilitating the directional control and increasing the velocity of the bat.

That which is claimed is:
1. An athletic glove adapted to be used by baseball batters or the like, and characterized by the ability to improve the leverage imparted to the bat by the hands, to thereby improve directional control and obtain greater swing velocity, and comprising
- a body portion adapted to overlie at least a portion of the palm of a wearer's hand,
- at least two tubular finger portions attached to said body portion and adapted to respectively receive the third and fourth fingers of the wearer's hand, and having a length sufficient to overlie the second phalange of each such finger, and
- a single pad mounted to the inside of each of said two finger portions, with each of said pads positioned to overlie only the second phalange of the respective fingers and with the remainder of said finger portions being free of any pad, said pads each having a thickness sufficient to enable the third and fourth fingers to significantly increase the force which they are able to apply to a bat.
