Abstract
Ways to improve one's grip on an implement through the use of thin, flexible magnetic strips are provided. The flexible magnetic strips can be used with the glove used by the person gripping the implement or with the implement's gripping surface, or with both. Alternatively, the flexible magnetic strips can be used with either the glove or the implement, with the opposing glove or implement surface coated or imbedded with a magnet attracting material. The user's grip is improved due to the magnetic interaction between the glove and the implement.
