A thumb brace comprising a glove having a thumb portion disposed between a palm side and a back side; and a pad attached to the glove and positioned proximate the base of the thumb portion on the back side of the glove such that the pad cushions a CMC joint of a user of the brace from impact.

The present invention relates to a leisure glove that is capable of having grip reinforcing members adapted to allow radial portions formed radially from central portions thereof and stripe-shaped wave portions surrounding the central portions to be spaced apart from one another, respectively, so that a contact force with a golf club can be strengthened to improve a grip force. According to the present invention, the leisure glove includes: a body; and grip reinforcing members formed on the outer surface of the palm portion of the body, wherein the grip reinforcing members may include: central portions; radial portions protruding from the center of each central portion in every direction; and wave portions formed to the shapes of stripes surrounding each central portion and spaced apart from one another to gradually expand outwardly.

A golf glove with marking areas provided on an outer surface of the hand and on an inner surface of the hand has three markings, wherein a first marking is provided on the outer surface of the hand in the metacarpal region, wherein a second marking is provided on the outer surface of the hand, and wherein a third marking is provided on the inner surface of the hand.

A system for correcting alignment of a golf club is provided. The golf club includes a shaft, a golf club head mounted on a first end of the shaft, a camera embedded in the golf club head. A display module is adapted to display at least a partial view of the camera. Substantial alignment of a face of the golf club head with a target location will be observable in the display as substantial alignment between the target location with an alignment guide. Misalignment of a face of the golf club head with the target location will be observable in the display as a misalignment between the target location with the alignment guide, for which a position of the golf club can be adjusted to bring the face of the golf club head into substantial alignment with the target location.

A sports equipment grip apparatus having a grip member having a side wall, a lengthwise opening disposed between a first end and a second end permitting insertion of a sports equipment item, the side wall being configured to snugly conform to the sports equipment item; a plurality of coplanar rings extending radially from the side wall, being equal in size and fitting onto a user's fingers; wherein the apparatus trains the user in holding and using a sports equipment item with a relaxed grip and in a suitable position, by forcing the user to place the sports equipment item near user's finger base into the grip member before gripping the sports equipment item, such that the sports equipment item is gripped primarily with user's fingers, and in the relaxed grip by providing a supplemental grip of the sports equipment item exercised by the grip member.

Devices with internal flexibility sipes, such as slits, provide improved flexibility, improved cushioning to absorb shock and/or shear forces, and improved stability of support. Siped devices can be used in any existing product that provides or utilizes cushioning and stability. These products include human and other footwear, both soles and uppers, as well as orthotics; athletic, occupational and medical equipment and apparel; padding or cushioning, such as for equipment or tool handles, as well as furniture; balls; tires; and any other structural or support elements in a mechanical, architectural, or any other product.

According to the various features characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including but limited to golf. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations or apertures, the present invention makes a glove more operable in various sports activities, including for those who play Golf using the conventional interlocking grip.

This disclosure describes a gripping aid to improve the hand-to-handle interface. The gripping aid increases the grip span of a user by bridging the anatomical gaps in the user's finger and thumb. The gripping aid provide a structure along the thumb web to oppose the gripping force of the fingers/thumb to increase grip strength. In some implementations, the gripping aid may be composed of a crush resistant and further include a fulcrum point to add instability to increase the speed and/or torque of each swing of a handle. In some implementations, the gripping aid may also provide a reduction in vibrations and superficial hand traumas normally caused when the handle strikes an object.

A golf ball marker clip apparatus includes a golf ball marker, a base, and a clip formed to the base and configured to snappedly receive the golf ball marker. The clip bounds and defines a hold corresponding to the golf ball marker.

Devices systems and methods are disclosed. Among other things, the devices systems and methods can facilitate ergonomic gripping of a handle; conform to the shape of a wrist; enhance golf techniques or performance; enhance racket sport technique or performance; protect a head of a user engaged in contact sports or other hazardous activities; identify concussions, in some cases in substantially real time; provide sterilization of garments; control surgical robots; allow for medical treatment of multiple subjects without disrobing; provide biometric or other data; and/or be used to train muscles or body parts for, for example, performing specified tasks using a body part.
