The device may comprise a wrist band and a grip aid strap that may be coupled together. The wrist band may be configured to wrap around the wearer's wrist and be secured by a first and a second fastener. The grip aid strap may have an elongated length of sufficient length to extend around one or more fingers of the wearer's hand while the wearer's hand is gripping a grip of a sports implement when a third and a fourth fastener are joined together. When the wearer's wrist and hand are wrapped by the device, the thumb and forefinger may be exposed and preferably used to help control the sports implement. The device can be used by left or right-handed people and by people with physically compromised grip strength. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A sports implement grip aid device for engaging a wearer's hand and wrist, the device comprising: A wrist band having an elongated length sufficient to wrap around the wearer's wrist when worn, wherein the wrist band has a first end, a second end, a first fastener, a second fastener, a third fastener, a band anterior surface, and a band posterior surface, wherein the first fastener is coupled to the band anterior surface proximate to the first end, wherein the second fastener is coupled to the band posterior surface proximate to the second end, wherein the third fastener is coupled to the band posterior surface between the first end and the second end, and wherein the first and second fasteners are configured to be joined together for selectively securing the wrist band around the wearer's wrist; and a grip aid strap that is coupled to the wrist band, the grip aid strap having an elongated length, a distal end, a fourth fastener, a strap anterior surface, and a strap posterior surface, wherein the grip aid strap is coupled to the elongated wrist band between the first end and the second end with the strap anterior surface coupled to the band anterior surface and with the strap posterior surface coupled to the band posterior surface, wherein the distal end is distal to the wrist band, wherein the fourth fastener is coupled to the strap anterior surface proximate to the distal end, and wherein the elongated length is of sufficient length to extend around one or more fingers of the wearer's hand while the wearer's hand is gripping a grip of a sports implement when the third and fourth fasteners are joined together. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the third fastener is coupled to the band posterior surface and to the strap posterior surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising a strap axis and a band axis, wherein the strap axis and band axis are angled between 60 and 80 degrees relative to each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the strap axis and band axis are angled between 68 and 72 degrees relative to each other. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the band axis extends through the first fastener and the second fastener. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The device of claim 5, wherein the band axis substantially bisects the first fastener and the second fastener. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the strap axis extends through the third fastener and the fourth fastener. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The device of claim 7, wherein the strap axis substantially bisects the third fastener and the fourth fastener. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein the strap axis and band axis are angled between 68 and 72 degrees relative to each other so that the distal end is angled towards the first end. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first fastener comprises a loop fastener and the second fastener comprises a hook fastener. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first fastener comprises a hook fastener and the second fastener comprises a loop fastener. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the third fastener comprises a hook fastener and the fourth fastener comprises a loop fastener. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the third fastener comprises a loop fastener and the fourth fastener comprises a hook fastener. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the third fastener is coupled to the band posterior surface so that the third fastener is substantially equidistant to the first end and the second end. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated wrist band comprises a flexible material. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated wrist band comprises a resilient material. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the grip aid strap comprises a flexible material. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the grip aid strap comprises a resilient material.
