Abstract: |
The invention has as its purpose the provision of a golf glove contributing to improvement of the head speed and stable swing of the golf club. The golf club consists of weights equipped with two or more overlapping pieces on the glove surface of the back of the hand part and fingers. The golf glove can increase the head speed of the golf club, which increases the flying distance of the ball. It prevents the thigh's unnatural bending in advance, which makes for an ideal back swing, down swing and follow through. If a player is right-handed, it is expected that right hand needs less power to increase inertial mass of left hand wearing the glove and it is possible to prevent slicing of a ball caused by distributing more power to the right hand. The weights on the glove surface of the back of the hand part, which are disposed toward the wrist, lessen the inertial mass caused by hand's rotary motion in comparison to weights placed far from the wrist. Accordingly, this invented golf glove increases the whole inertial mass of an arm and a hand and prevents unnatural power from wrist and joints so that natural swing (back swing, down swing and follow through) could be possible.

What is claimed is:
1. A golf glove with a wrist end part, a hand part, a thumb part and finger parts, all of said parts having a back side and a palm side, said hand part having a first flank side, a second flank side and a slit adjacent to the second flank side, said golf glove comprising:
- a group of mutually adjoining discrete weight segments affixed to the back side of the hand part at a position between the wrist end part and the thumb part; and
- a wrist band arranged and shaped such that when tightened, said wrist band can substantially surround said group of weight segments to hide them thereunder and to inhibit their movement.
