Abstract: A glove for assisting the user to catch a thrown object with fingers rather than palms, including pressure sensors installed in the palm area of typical receiver gloves (providing a voltage trigger signal used to latch an indicator LED informing the athlete of palm contact, together with flex sensors in the fingers deactivating the palm pressure sensor when at least one of the user's fingers is flexed inwardly toward the palm (preventing an inadvertent palm pressure trigger signal from locking in the LED prior to a catch attempt). This allows the athlete to run with fists closed without latching the palm pressure indicator, then to open his or her hands, thereby enabling the latch circuit for the catch.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting the user to catch a thrown object with fingers rather than palms, comprising a means for sensing pressure exerted on the user's palm, a means for deactivating said palm pressure sensing means when at least one of the user's fingers is flexed inwardly toward the palm, and a means for indicating when non-bypassed palm pressure occurs.
