Abstract
A golf glove comprises a palm portion and a plurality of digits comprised of a first material. A plurality of grip pads of a second material such as silicone is provided on the digits and/or the palm portion. The grip pads comprise a plurality of bumps having geometric shapes. In at least one embodiment, the bumps are hexagonal in shape. The bumps may be provided directly on the first material of the glove or may be provided on a thin base layer. The bumps are arranged on the glove such that they contact the grip of a golf club when the golf club is gripped by a golfer. Accordingly, the bumps may be positioned on tip portions of the fingers and thumb and also along a line extending between a hypothenar region of the palm and a portion of the palm located between the finger and thumb.
