The present invention is a modified glove with control/grip-enhancing and perspiration retention properties, offering the bowler a range of functions and options specific to the individual bowler's abilities, equipment selection (i.e. bowling ball), and the lane conditions faced. An elastomeric, control/grip-enhancing material circumferences the fingertips of at least one finger, providing a similar shape and feel to the commonly used, cylindrical inserts/grips; the glove designed to be used in lieu of finger inserts. The present glove invention can be interchangeable between right and left-handed bowlers of approximately the same hand size. The perspiration retentive fabric combined with the elastomeric, control/grip-enhancing material eliminates or significantly reduces perspiration from an otherwise naked inserted finger, which normally has contact with the hole(s) of a bowling ball. Consequently, the present glove invention results in more consistent control and release of the ball off the hand, increased ball energy, increased ball motion and revolution potential, a higher impact between ball and pins, leading to more lively pin scattering, all of which ultimately results in higher scoring potential. Functionality and performance characteristics of various embodiments of the glove invention provide the bowler a range of control/grip-enhanced, textured and non-textured surface materials at the fingertip area of the glove. Likewise, the control/grip enhanced material of the palm area of the glove works to grip the surface of the bowling ball. The ball position in the cupped and gloved hand is maintained even though the bowler moves his/her hand slightly either away from towards or laterally with respect to the bowling ball. Embodiments of the glove invention offer the bowlers a variety of options for the fingers, as well as for support around the wrist area.
