Abstract: A gripping glove is disclosed for enhancing the ability of an individual to grasp an object such as a shaft or handle of a bat, pole, racket or club. The griping glove includes a body portion having a back side, a front or palm side and finger elements having elongated extensions. Fastening material is provided to retain the finger extensions in a substantially fixed arrangement relative to the front side of the body portion. A strap is attached to the body portion and overlays the finger extensions after they have been secured so as to prevent detachment of the extensions from the front side of the glove.
