Abstract
A ball glove having a plurality of generally axially oriented ridges, protruding outwardly from the frontal surface of the glove. The ridges extend from the proximal edge to the distal, peripheral edge of the glove and have protrusions formed near the finger tips. The protrusions taper gradually at their distal end and have a shoulder formed at their proximal ends. The glove has a glove-like handpiece removably attached to a shell. The shell includes a plurality of generally axially oriented, flexible, elongated ribs corresponding to the thumb and fingers of the wearer, and an elastomeric polymer skin which is more flexible than the ribs and is conformingly attached to the ribs.
