ABSTRACT:
A sports glove that improves a wearer's ability to grasp an object having a generally cylindrical handle while maximizing the amount of handling force the wearer's hand applies to the object. The sports glove includes any conventional glove having a palm portion and a resilient and compressible pad that is attachable to the palm portion of the glove. The compressible pad includes a generally planar glove attachment surface and a generally convex palm engaging surface opposite the glove attachment surface. The glove attachment surface of the pad is attached to the inner surface of the palm portion of the glove so that the palm engaging surface faces the palm of the hand. The pad has a generally tear drop shape that allows the pad to fit into the mid-palmer space of the hand within the palmer limit of the first web space of the hand, the palmer limit of the finger pads over the second, third, and fourth metacarpals of hand, the palmer limit of the hypothenar pad and the palmer limit of the thenar pad.
