- the golfer tries to remove the gap 30 consciously to prevent the movement of the grip, it is difficult to do an exact swing because power is applied to the index finger and the thumb.
- FIG. 10 there is almost no gab by the filling part 10 between the index fmger portion and the thumb portion. So, the present invention provides stability of the grip, and the root between the index finger portion and the thumb portion is naturally in a close contact with the grip even though the golfer does not try to closely contact the root portion to the grip consciously.
- FIG. 11 is a front and rear view for explaining golf gloves according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 12 is a side view for explaining an example of golf gloves of FIG. 11.
- FIG. 13 is a partially enlarged view for explaining a connection between a first filling part and a second filling part of FIG. 11.
- a golf glove comprises the base part 2, a first filling part 52 and a second filling part 54.
- the base part 2 of general thickness and the exposed section of the base part 2 corresponds to a region including the little finger, the ring finger, the middle finger, a palm and a back hand of the left hand, wherein the palm and the back hand are connected with the three fingers.
- the first filling part 52 corresponds to a space 12a between the first knuckles of the thumb and the index finger, and one portion 12 of dorsal surface and palmar surface of the index finger, and is formed on the base part 2.
- the second filling part 54 is formed adjacent to the first filling part 52. At this time, the second filling part 54 corresponds to one portion 11 of dorsal surface and palmar surface of the thumb and the thenar portion 13 of the thumb.
- the base part 2 for golf gloves is generally made using natural leather or synthetic leather, 3-4 sheets of tailored materials are connected by sewing. Therefore, a manufacturing process, i.e. sewing, should be considered to manufacture actual golf gloves.
- the filling part is divided into the first filling part 52 and the second filling part 54. Manufacturing processes may be facilitated by pre-binding the first filling part 52 and the second filling part 54 to the base part 2. Accordingly, the second filling part 54 is bound to a portion corresponding to the thumb of the base part 2, by binding or sewing. The second filling part 54 covers dorsal surface and palmar surface 11 of the thumb and the thenar portion 13 thereof.
- the second filling part 54 is extended to the second knuckle portion 11a of palmar surface of the thumb, thereby sticking the golf club and the thumb.
- the seam line may touch the golf club directly, which may disturb smooth movement of the golf club.
- the portion corresponding to the groove between the thumb and the index finger on the base part is extended toward the thumb portion, and the first filling part 52 that is bound to the dorsal surface and palmar surface 12 of the index finger is also extended to the groove portion 12a between the thumb and the index fmger and covers the whole groove portion 12a.
- the second filling part 54 contacts the golf club, whereby it is possible to maintain the uniformed side contact.
- the first filling part 52 may stably wrap the golf club in the portion corresponding to the groove between the thumb and the index finger.
- the first filling part 52 and the second filling part 54 maintain the region corresponding to the groove between the thumb and the index finger, one portion of dorsal surface and palmar surface of the thumb and the index finger, and the thenar of the thumb, to be thicker than the base part 2. Therefore, this may give the golfer certain tension while the golfer grasps the golf club. Moreover, this removes the space between the club and the glove, thereby enabling a stabled grip.
- a golf glove of the present invention may provide a stabilized grip by using a filling part. Furthermore, even when a beginner and a user who has thin fingers and palm grasp the grip of golf club, the golf glove of the present invention may prevent trigger fmger, so that the users grasp the grip firmly without applying strong grasping power to the little finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger of the left hand.
- the present invention may provide the golfer with excellent compactability with the grip of the golf club, thereby helping the golfer to perform a stable swing, so as to drive a golf ball to a long distance, and may help users of golf gloves according to the present invention who enjoy a golf, to enhance their own stability and techniques, and thereby, the users may have strong success.
- the present invention has been described with reference to particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that variety of changes and modification will be possible without departing from the scope and spirits of the present invention.
