Abstract

A football glove that is both functional and effective. A vinyl rubber pad with finlike grippers is placed over the glove material at each one of the five fingers and at the both heels of the palm on the small finger side and the thumbside. All the knuckles are ribbed only on the circumference of the finger on the palm side which helps the fingers to be in a premature curved position and promotes quicker reaction time.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
