Abstract: The invention has as its purpose the provision of a golf glove contributing to improvement of the head speed and stable swing of the golf club. The golf club consists of weights equipped with two or more overlapping pieces on the glove surface of the back of the hand part and fingers. The golf glove can increase the head speed of the golf club, which increases the flying distance of the ball. It prevents the thigh's unnatural bending in advance, which makes for an ideal back swing, down swing and follow through. If a player is right-handed, it is expected that right hand needs less power to increase inertial mass of left hand wearing the glove and it is possible to prevent slicing of a ball caused by distributing more power to the right hand. The weights on the glove surface of the back of the hand part, which are disposed toward the wrist, lessen the inertial mass caused by hand's rotary motion in comparison to weights placed far from the wrist.
