Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves – FAQs

• What are Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves?
  Hammer Hands are premium weighted batting gloves designed to increase bat speed, sharpen swing mechanics, and improve timing. Each glove adds strategic weight while maintaining full range of motion, so you simply wear them during warm-ups and cage work.
  
  
• How much does each glove weigh?
  Approximately ½ pound (8 oz) per glove on average, with exact weight varying slightly by size (7.0 oz to 9.5 oz per glove). The pair gives you about 1 lb of total weight on your hands.
  
  
• What materials are Hammer Hands made from?
  They’re crafted from 8-9mm thick Cabretta leather with a reinforced heel for durability. Each glove includes a modular weight system (metal inserts), EVA rubber sheet, and 4mm foam padding for comfort.
  
  
• Who created Hammer Hands?
  Created by Garrett Kocis, a former Wichita State player (2018-2022) from Omaha, Nebraska. Made by players, for players. Garrett created Hammer Hands after years of competitive baseball.
  
  
• Are Hammer Hands used by professional and college players?
  Yes, they’re used by MLB hitters, MiLB players, and multiple D1 programs in batting cages and training. Players like Logan Hughes (Texas Tech), Paxton Wallace (Wichita State/MiLB), and Cole Brannen (2017 2nd-round MLB draft pick) have publicly endorsed them.
  
  
• How are Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves different from regular batting gloves?
  Hammer Hands add targeted weight on the back of the hand with modular design and dual straps, turning every warm-up into sport-specific overload training & targets the improvement of exit-velocity, swing mechanics, timing & hand-eye coordination.
  
  
• What sizes are available?
  Five sizes based on hand/palm measurement: 7–7.25”, 7.25–7.5”, 7.5–7.75”, 7.75–8”, and 8–8.25”. Choose the one that matches your normal batting glove size. *Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the bottom of the palm.*
  
  
• How much do Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Glovescost?
  $84.99 per pair. Team / Bundle discounts are available on hammerhandsgloves.com.
  
  
• How do Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves increase bat speed?
  Swinging with added hand weight forces the forearms, wrists, hands, and connecting kinetic chain (core, shoulders, glutes and legs) to generate more force to accelerate the bat. This recruits more fast-twitch muscle fibers, the ones responsible for explosive, high-speed movements.

 

• How do Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves improve swing mechanics?
  The weight encourages better hand path and sequencing: (1) It promotes keeping hands inside the ball. (2) It maintains a smoother, more connected swing (avoiding early casting or dragging the bat). (3) It builds forearm and grip strength for better bat control and whip.These refinements lead to more efficient energy transfer, better contact quality (centered strikes on the barrel), and optimized launch conditions, all of which amplify exit velocity beyond raw speed gains alone.

 

• How do Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves help with timing?
  The added resistance forces you to develop a better “sense” of your swing’s rhythm and tempo. Because the weight is distributed directly on the hands (without significantly altering bat grip or barrel feel like a donut/heavy bat might), you get immediate feedback on when and how your hands are working relative to the pitch. This builds hand-eye coordination under load, making it easier to sync your swing with varying pitch velocities (fastballs vs. off-speed). When you remove the gloves for normal swings or live BP, the unloaded feel often creates a contrast effect: your hands feel quicker and more responsive, allowing you to adjust timing more precisely in the box.
• What’s the science behind the weighted design?
  It’s sport-specific overload training: the modular weights on the dorsal side of the hand build power, precision and rhythm without restricting wrist, finger, or hand motion.
  
  
• Do players really feel a difference after one session of using Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves?
  Yes, many report feeling quicker hands and a smoother swing after just 10–20 swings once the gloves come off.
  
  
• Are Hammer Hands good for high school hitters?
  Absolutely. They give high school players a pro-level training edge that fits easily into any cage session or warm-up without complicated drills.
  
  
• How quickly will I see results?
  Most players notice quicker hands and better contact within 1–2 weeks of consistent use during warm-ups and cage work.
  
  
• Can Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves fix common swing flaws?
  Yes, they help correct dropping hands, casting, long swings, and poor barrel path by giving immediate feedback during every rep.
  
  
• Do Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves build fast-twitch muscle fibers?
  Yes, the overload specifically targets fast-twitch fibers used in explosive swinging, translating directly to game-speed bat speed.
  
  
• Will they make my swing feel heavier in games?
  No. The training effect is the opposite: after using them, your regular bat feels lighter and faster.
  
  
• How do I use Hammer Hands Weighted Batting Gloves?
  Simply put them on for warm-ups and/or cage-work with tee/flips/machine drills. It’s important to still take regular swings with no weight and to take them off before you step into the box for games or live BP.
  
  
• When should I wear them during training?
  Best worn during pre-game warm-ups, early cage rounds, or isolated upper-body swing drills. 20–30 swings per session is plenty.
