Abstract: A hand glove for the participant of an active sport in which at least one of the participants fingers maybe subjected to hyper-extension from contact received from participating in that sport. The glove has respectively oppositely disposed palm and dorsal faces, a plurality of individual finger elements and an elongate strip of material having at least elastically stretchable portions spaced apart from one another longitudinally along the strip and on the palm face side of the glove for each one of selected finger elements of the glove. Each strip is anchored at one end thereof proximate the tip of the glove finger element associated therewith and at the other end proximate the palm portion of the glove. Each strip being elastically stretchable is tensioned causing the finger element associated therewith to curl in a direction of the fingers for gripping an article.
