ABSTRACT:
A batting glove for use in softball, baseball, or other games of the like wherein a wooden or metallic bat is used. The batting glove includes pads located between the first and second phalangeal joints and a palm pad located across the metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand in order to create a reminder groove or slot and encourage a proper grip of the bat by the batter. The glove also includes means for securing the glove to the wrist of the wearer such as velcro fasteners and the like. In addition, elastic materials sewn into or attached to the wrist area of the glove may also provide means for securing the glove around the wrist of the wearer.
An alternate embodiment of the batting glove includes fluid filled compartments incorporated into certain areas of the palm side of the glove. The fluid compartments may be permanently filled and sealed with air, liquid, putty, or a gel. An air pressure supply device, or air bladder, is incorporated into the glove for supplying pressurized air to the fluid compartments. A relief valve is also included to release pressurized air from the fluid compartments.
