Abstract: The present device relates to an apparatus and a method for allowing a golfer to properly grip a golf club. A proper grip is one that allows for the most efficient radial deviation (abduction) and ulnar deviation (adduction) as well as flexion and extension of the wrist of the golfer's upper hand, while also minimizing club head and shaft axis rotation during a golf swing. This grip can be achieved through the use of a marking system comprising the golfer's glove and the grip of the golf club. By matching one or more markings on the glove, placed in specific locations on its anterior, with one or more markings located on specific positions on a golf club grip, the proper location of the golfer's upper hand can be found and the proper grip can then be made.

Abstract: The present invention is a golf club which induces proper grip and suitable swing by removing the thumb-covering portion of a golf glove so as to extend the Skin Contact Length between the thumb and forefinger. Due to the absence of a thumb covering, structural problems with the glove covering stretching from the thumb area toward the palm may arise when centrifugal force is imparted by the golf club. If the glove covering has been stretched, the covering will become folded when the club is gripped; this causes a pull on the left thumb when gloves are worn and leads to improper grip. Therefore, in order to provide elasticity with regard to stretching, in place of sheepskin the area subject to stretching is processed with a Spandex material having excellent elasticity and flexibility.

Abstract: The present invention provides a golf glove which allows a golfer to wear it or further fasten up the attachment member without bothering other players near the teeing ground or the putting green. When a dial member 13 is rotated in a clockwise direction with respect to a guide member 12, an interlocking groove 13D of a dial member 13 pulls a head portion 11D of an interlocking protrusion of a plate member in a direction indicated by the left pointing arrow along a long guide hole 12A of the guide member 12, and thus the guide member 12 on the attachment member 1C moves relatively in a direction of tightening up the attachment member 1C and the golf glove is put on a hand. When the dial member 13 is further rotated in a clockwise direction, the attachment member 1C is tightened up so that the worn golf glove fits more closely to the hand. No rasping and uncomfortable ripping noises which are peculiar to plane fasteners used in a conventional golf glove will be generated.
