ABSTRACT:
An athletic glove includes a back strap to compress and support the wrist and hand of the user. The glove comprises a central portion including a back side and a palm side which define a hand receiving pocket therebetween. A hand opening is formed in the central portion for inserting the user's hand into the pocket. A wrist cuff area encircles the user's wrist and borders the hand opening. A backhand support wraps around the user's hand to provide support for the backhand muscles. The backhand support includes a backhand strap having an intermediate portion and a free end portion. The backhand strap is secured to the central portion of the glove adjacent the finger stall for the user's index finger and extends diagonally backward across the back side of the glove towards the user's wrist. The strap encircles the underside of the user's wrist and then extends diagonally forward across the back side of the glove from the base of the finger stall for the user's thumb towards the finger stall for the user's little finger. The free end portion of the backhand strap intersects an intermediate portion of the backhand strap to which it is secured. A hold-down strap attached to the central portion of the glove adjacent the finger stall for the little finger secures the free end portion of the backhand strap. The glove may also include a wrist strap for encircling the user's wrist to provide support therefor and to secure the glove on the user's wrist.
