Weighted Gloves

Seems to me that you would want them lighter to go faster...hmmmmm how do you do this?

Actually graduated bats are used to develop to develop bat speed, but you should probably make sure you have a good swing before spending time on making a bad swing faster.

Personally, I would go with the underweight/overweight bats, and swing them everyday.

and yes w/ BOF about having proper mechanics first. That is more important than anything.

Why?...Are you in a quick-draw contest?

95% of hitting, pitching, and training aids are worthless.

I think the Josh Hamilton training aids are the best. You could probably get good results with the weighted gloves as well.

I would not believe that to be the case. Haven't used them but could cite examples in the 60's of ankle weights used to improve your vertical and more recent weighted balls to improve velocity, neither deliever the promised results.

A kid from my high school(graduated in 2009) used weighted batting gloves at the plate. His bat speed was so good, he would swing too early and wouldn't be able to stop. These fixed his problem. Ended up getting drafted by the Royals. Kind of off topic, sorry.

This is also off topic but I know a pro who got one of these and it really helped his fielding %.

If he's that good, can he be put on that list of great hitters?...I know it's kind of long already, but, I mean if he's really that good......

Don't use one of these....
