Abstract

The invention is a one piece glove used as a sports aid to decrease slippage during grip, that is comprised of an elastomeric fabric component which fits precisely incorporating all the fingers of the hand; the wrist; and the thumb. The elastomeric fabric component is completely flexible not containing any rigid positional elements for the wrist or fingers. The palmar side of all the finger sleeves of the glove, as well as the palm of the glove have attached a silicone of prosthetic quality which is fused to the elastomeric fabric in such a fashion that all the external aspects of the finger sleeves facing the sports apparatus such as, but not limited to, a bowling ball, as well as the internal aspects facing the fingers are fused with the silicone. The surface of the palm of the glove is comprised of silicone and elastomeric fabric fused on the external aspect that contacts the bowling ball, and the internal aspect that contacts the palm itself. This construction of silicone fusion to elastomeric fabric greatly increases the ability of the bowler to grip the ball with less force because slippage is reduced. The adherence to the ball of the silicone plus its shock absorbing effect relative to the fingers allows greater 'lift' and increased revolutions of the bowling ball upon ball release from the hand thus imparting greater energy applied to the pins upon impact.
