Batting glove system for proper batting grip

Abstract

A system of batting gloves enables a batter to position his or her hands on a bat in a manner such that the batter has a proper grip of the bat. A pair of batting gloves contains markings in the middle of the fingers at locations that are approximately where a batter's middle or knocking knuckles will be positioned in the glove. When a batter wears the gloves and holds a bat, the batter will position his or her hands such that the markings on the glove fingers of the two gloves will align and form a line. When the markings are aligned and form a line, the batters' hands are positioned in a proper or preferred grip of the bat.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A batting glove system for an improved grip of a baseball bat comprising:
 a first batting glove to be worn on one of a batter's hand, said first batting glove having a top side and a palm side and including finger sections for each of a batter's fingers and a thumb section, said first batting glove at least partially covering the batter's finger sections and thumb section and the palm side of said first batting glove having a palm portion that covers a batter's palm;   a second batting glove to be worn on a second hand of a batter, said second batting glove having a top side and a palm side and including finger sections for each of a batter's fingers and a thumb section, the second batting glove at least partially covering the batter's finger sections and thumb section and the palm side of said second batting glove having a palm portion that covers a batter's palm;   markers positioned on the top side of the fingers of said first batting glove, the markers being positioned on the fingers of said first batting glove such that when a batter wears said first batting glove, the markers will approximately align with middle knuckles of a batter's hand; and   markers positioned on the top side of the fingers of said second batting glove, the markers being positioned on the fingers of said second batting glove such that when a batter wears said second batting glove, the markers will approximately align with middle knuckles of a batter's hand and the markers being positioned on the fingers of said second batting glove such that when a batter grips a bat, markers positioned on said first batting glove will align with markers positioned on said second batting glove and thereby forming a line with the markers of both said first and said second batting gloves and thereby ensuring a desired alignment of a batter's hands when gripping a bat.   
     
     
         2 . The batting glove system as described in  claim 1  wherein said first batting glove and said second batting gloves have one said marker on each of three middle fingers of said first and second batting gloves. 
     
     
         3 . The batting glove system as described in  claim 1  further comprising a wrist wrap section adjacent said palm section and opposite said finger sections for securing said first or said second batting glove when a batter is wearing a glove. 
     
     
         4 . The batting glove system as described in  claim 1  wherein the top side and the palm side of said first or said second batting glove comprises different materials including materials that can facilitate ventilation for a batter's hand. 
     
     
         5 . A method for obtaining a preferred grip of a baseball bat when attempting to hit a baseball using a batting glove system, the method comprising the steps of:
 inserting a first hand of a batter into an appropriate batting glove of the batting glove system, the batting glove having markers on fingers of the batting;   inserting a second hand of the batter into an appropriate batting glove of the batting glove system, the batting glove having markers on fingers of the batting;   securing a baseball bat for hitting; and   positioning the first and second hands on the baseball bat such the markers on the fingers of the batter's first hand and fingers on the batter's second hand generally form a line that is visible to the batter.   
     
     
         6 . The method as described in  claim 5  further comprising aligning middle knuckles of the batter's first hand with middle knuckles of the batter's second hand by aligning the markers on the finger sections of the appropriate batting gloves. 
     
     
         7 . The method as described in  claim 5  wherein said both inserting steps further comprise inserting first and second hands into said appropriate batting such that middle knuckles on the batter's fingers align with markers on finger sections of the batting gloves.
