Do you want quicker bat speed? How about a better arm? I can't think of a simpler way for a softball or baseball player to add speed, strength and power to their throws and swings. Remember to wear them every practice while batting, pitching and taking infield and outfield drills. Some players gain 3 to 7 mph to their bat speed simply from wearing these gloves! Order your normal batting glove size... They stretch to fit.

The Edge Power Gloves were rated a top training tool by Collegiate Baseball, which had this to say in January 2002:

This product has proven to increase speed and power for pitching and throwing by increasing arm strength and helping develop proper technique. In testing with 100 college pitchers over a 2-year period, the results showed a definite increase in pitching velocity, endurance and power.

The tests also showed a significant decrease in arm and shoulder injuries. No pitchers involved in the testing suffered injuries in the seasons that followed the testing. Pitchers using this device have strengthened the shoulder and rotator cuff to help reduce the possibilities of injury.

“Coaches have tried different weights for years in training hitters and pitchers to hit and throw harder while attempting to stay healthy. But this is the first time to my knowledge weight has been on the back of the hand. This product has benefits which should be closely looked into,” said New York Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson.

Studies have shown that training with the Edge Gloves for an 8-10 week period elicited an increase in pitch velocity of 2.2 mph.

These benefits work great for softball too!

The Edge is a variable weighted glove. It comes fitted with 12 ounces of weight per hand and the weight can be increased from 2 ounces up to a pound by 2 ounce increments.

Hitting
The Edge definitely INCREASES POWER in hitting. The Edge can be worn during warm up, in the batting cage and during batting practice. It is no secret that bat speed is a vital part of power hitting and The Edge works to increase bat speed. By wearing The Edge on a regular basis, swinging the applied weight helps strengthen all the muscles used throughout the entire swinging motion. This is known as functional strengthening through functional exercise. This not only works for the major muscles, but also the minor muscles, which help with control.

Throwing
The Edge helps strengthen every muscle used in the throwing motion. Every player from little league all the way up can benefit from The Edge. It is great for stretching, warming up and practicing. This is the only training device that strengthens while the wearer is doing nothing more than throwing... IT'S THAT EASY! Not only does it increase velocity, it also helps to reduce injuries.

Coach JP Suggests
Keep your arm healthy! Start with only 2- 4 oz. per hand. More is not always better!
