ABSTRACT:
A sports glove for a bowler includes a glove body having partial digit sleeves for the third and fourth digits and a flexible cover attached directly to each of the digit sleeves for the third and fourth digits so as to create an enclosed pouch. Each pouch includes a cushioning pad disposed therein. The sports glove is modified so as to receive on a selective or optional basis a number of enhancement components which are intended to assist the bowler in the support, release and control of the bowling ball. These enhancements include foam wedges which are attached to the palm side to either increase or decrease the amount of hook on the bowling ball, a spacer strip to control the spacing of the third and fourth digits and a brace which also assists in controlling the amount of hook on the bowling ball. The cushioning pads which are enclosed within the pouches on the third and fourth digits assist in filling the gap between the hand and the bowling ball so as to provide better weight distribution and balance. These pads also cushion the joint of-the finger and protect the joint from impact. The cover which forms the pouch for the pads is a flexible and resilient material though relatively stiff which facilitates in reducing hyperextensions of the third and fourth digits. The pouch, cover and pad combination is applicable to other sports where hyperextended fingers are possible.
