BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]The present invention relates to a golf glove, which can relieve tension of muscles of hands when a golfer grasps a grip of a golf club and stimulate the muscles of the hands as if he or she exerted a great grasping force even with a small grasping force, thereby allowing the golfer to grasp the grip of the golf club more stably.

[0003]2. Background Art

[0004]In general, the applicant of the present invention has various patent rights related with functional golf gloves for improving fixability and compactability of a grip, and so, has proposed various technologies in connection with the golf gloves.

[0005]As described in various prior arts, various technologies associated with functional golf gloves, for instance, such as golf gloves enhancing a sense of wearing by improving tactile sensation of the golf gloves contacting with a golfer's hands, a technology for allowing a golfer to more easily watch a swing plane by having marks indicated on the golf gloves, and a technology for helping a directionality of a golf ball, have been developed, and besides the above-stated golf gloves, golf gloves of various configurations have been disclosed. For instance, there are proposed golf gloves for minimizing the bending of the wrist by providing a fixing bar located between the back of the hand and the wrist, and golf gloves having various rubber bands to improve compactability between the golf gloves and the golfer's hands. Also, this applicant has a patent right of functional golf gloves, which can improve fixability and compactability between a grip of a golf club and golf gloves and minimize a gap between an index finger portion and a thumb portion naturally.

[0006]As described above, golf gloves having diverse functions have been developed, but there is still an urgent need for functional golf gloves, which can allow the golfer to grasp the golf club stably even with a small grasping force since it is difficult for most of golfers to grasp the grip while weakening a grasping force.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007]Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior arts, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf glove for surrounding a golfer's entire hand part, which includes muscle stimulating portions formed on regions of the inner surface thereof corresponding to muscles of the golfer's hand to slightly stimulate the muscles of the hand, whereby the golfer can grasp a grip stably even with a small grasping force by giving a feeling of a strong grasping force to him or her in spite of application of the small grasping force, relieving tension of the muscles like muscle taping therapy, and activating the muscles.

[0008]To accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a golf glove for stimulating muscles of the hand wherein the golf glove comprises muscle stimulating portions (A) formed on the inner surface thereof for stimulating muscles exerting a grasping force to a golfer's hand so as to give a sensation of a strong grasping force to the golfer in spite of application of a small grasping force.
