  • Patent number: 4057255
    Abstract: A golf swing aid comprises a glove having a thumb and a substantial wrist band integrated with the open end of the glove. A flexible tie is connected at one of its ends to the end portion of the thumb and has a length sufficient to overlie the back of the thumb. An adjustable fastener is mounted on the wrist band substantially aligned with the thumb in the use position of the glove. In use, the free end of the tie is secured in the address position, becomes limp during the back swing because of cocking of the wrist, and becomes taut during the down swing, assisting the golfer to unflex his wrists to their address position, thereby assisting in hitting the ball squarely.
