  • Patent number: 5386591
    Abstract: A discus training glove for use in adding to the competitive capability of discus throwers is provided herein. The present invention proposes to add an evenly distributed amount of weight to the glove of the discus thrower. The weight will be inserted and contained in a pouch on the back hand side of the glove, and if desired, additional weight in the form of a weighted pad can be attached to the pouch on the glove. By adding a balanced weight to the top portion of the hand, the discus thrower will become tolerant and adjusted to the weight added. Thus, upon removal of the additional weight, the discus thrower will have the ability to well surpass his or her best previous throws.
