Basketball training glove

Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus and method for improving a person's basketball skills, in which wearing at least on glove for a period of time and then removing it results in an increase in hand speed, strength, and reflects, ball control, shooting range, and passing accuracy just to name a few. It is a method of wearing the glove while practicing various fundamental basketball skills then upon removal the very same skills will be executed with more accuracy, speed, strength, distance and control. It includes dorsal and palm portions with finger receptacles. At least one weighted element is applied to the dorsal side of the glove, while at least one touch desensitizing element is applied to locations on the palm side of the glove.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention is a sports training glove. The Glove is a sports training aid used to improve the fundamental basketball skills. When The Glove is worn the palm side of the hand becomes noticeably slippery and difficult to handle. At the same the hands become heavier do to the coexistence of weighted elements on the dorsal side. These aspects cause extra effort, and strength to be used to dribble, shoot, catch, throw, and execute fundamental basketball skills involving the ball. When The Glove is removed it creates quickness and strength in the hands, arms, fingers and a highly responsive level of sensitivity in the palm and fingers to gripping the ball.[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to athletic training glove, more specifically a basketball training glove used to improve and elevate a person's fundamental basketball skills, which will ultimately improve the player's basketball game.[0004]2.

Benefits of technology

[0006]This invention includes palm and dorsal sides, finger and thumb receptacles cooperatively joined together to fit the wearer's hand, wherein generally comfortable and / or conforming weights are fixed (temporarily and / or permanently) throughout the dorsal side and fingers, while having desensitizing elements fixed on the palm side. It is comprised of at least a palm and dorsal side with finger and thumb receptacles attached. At least one weighted element can be attached, sewn, glued, and secured to the dorsal side and along the dorsal side fingers. The secured weighted elements are operatively used to make to hands heavier and reflects slower when the ball is controlled with the gloved hand. Thus speedy / quick ball control, hand / arm reflects, and ball strength is developed when the glove is worn for a sufficient period of time. Results are noticed upon removal of the glove, as the hands and arms have increased in reflects / speed, quickness and strength in dribbling the ball. “Zip” (speed) is increased while passing the ball, and shoot range is increased upon shooting the ball. This same hand / arm speed, quickness, and strength will be useful in deflecting passes and stealing the ball while playing defense as well.

Problems solved by technology

Any element that cause controlling the ball to become difficult when the glove is worn.
