Abstract: A glove for sports and utility is provided with a method for creating multiple tensile forces along the length of the fingers and thumb and across the back of the hand through a point (30) of common force juncture located on the wrist proximate to the intersection of the base of the thumb and the wrist. These tensile forces yield continued improvement in fit and utility along multiple orientations of force lines across the back of the hand and along the fingers and thumb. These orientations of force lines are most advantageously aligned approximately perpendicular to the primary axis of closure of the human hand in grasping an object and the primary central axis of an elongated object being grasped.Further, the fit in the finger enclosures and at the fingertips is significantly improved, as is the glove fit around the wrist and across the palm of the user's hand. These tensile forces continue to function properly and remain adjustable by the user throughout the life of the glove.
