ABSTRACT:
A golf club having a configuration adapted to ensure that the gloved, weak hand of the golfer, grasps the club shaft and particularly the gripping area thereof with a sufficient force to adequately secure the club and thus play the game despite the presence of a handicap, including a handicap comprising the total inability to exert any force in a gripping manner. Furthermore, the present invention provides a golf glove configuration which is designed to provide a powerful grasp of the club shaft with the gloved hand for preventing any twisting of the glove upon impact with the ball, despite the presence of large torquing forces resulting from such impact. The invention is essentially identical in shape to all existing golf gloves, but comprises a Velcro hooked strap which is much longer than the conventional Velcro hook strap found in ordinary golf gloves. Furthermore, the golf glove provides surfaces of Velcro loops on the knuckle side of the small finger and of the ring finger, which loops are designed to engage the elongated hook strap in a configuration during grasping. Such engagement locks the weak hand of the golfer around the gripping portion of the golf club shaft in a highly forceful manner which may exceed the inherent capability of the hand musculature.
