I thought it was just gonna be another gimmick, but this truly works. My 10-year-old ain't crossing his hands over no more and he is hitting dingers — two home runs and two triples since using it. He was losing a lot of power crossing those hands over. This product works. I've seen it firsthand.

How it works
3 simple steps. 10‑second setup.
Slide it on, cinch it down, swing. Hitters see a better swing in their first practice.
-
Step 1: Slide it on
Slide the loop onto your top hand over a batting glove or bare hand, with the leather facing outward. Unstrap the loop, then flip it inward so the leather faces toward the bat.
-
Step 2: RELEASE THE STRAP
Hold the bat in your normal grip with both hands. Release your bottom hand, un-velcro the strap, and pull it down toward your bottom hand.
-
Step 3: INCREASE POWER INSTANTLY
Re-grip the bat with both hands over the strap. The pressure from your bottom hand will cinch the top hand downward, creating a secure connection through your swing.

It works. I promise. I bought this to help my son stop rolling his hands when batting. Not only has that stopped, but he hits so much more powerfully. I expected little and got a lot.
This fixes so many problems in your player's swing. If they let go of the bat mid-swing — fixed. If they roll over — fixed. It took my son from grounders to line drives in 2 games.
My son has been using this for a few days and I can see the difference in his swing already. Went from rolling over to hitting line drives.
So yes, it worked for me. I would roll over 2/3 of the time. I just used it this weekend and went 3-for-4 — the outfielder caught one or I would've gone a perfect 4-for-4. Highly recommend it.
I was skeptical spending the money, but it worked really well. My 12-year-old was rolling over in batting practice and hitting more grounders than he liked. He put the strap on and was instantly squaring up the ball. It's not a cure-all, but it made a real difference.
It has worked exactly like it's supposed to! My daughter was disconnecting her top hand every time on contact and hitting weak pop flies. Now she is staying connected and hitting line drives! Exactly what we wanted!
My son is 6 and had trouble keeping both hands on the bat at the contact point. I bought him the 9 STRAP and it was a night and day difference in his hitting. I highly recommend this product.
Bat stays through the zone and my batting average has increased since I started using them. More line drives up the middle and oppo. Went 7-for-11 in the Senior League State Tournament (14U) with a 3-run, 340-foot home run!
I feel less pressure on my shoulder when I use the 9 STRAP, and I have a more consistent swing.
I took my sophomore son and two of his travel teammates to test this on a HitTrax - 10 swings with, 10 without. Two kids added 3 mph exit velo, my son added 2 mph. I was skeptical, but the data showed real promise. My son is 5'6" and cracked 90 mph exit velo today with a 34" 31-oz BBCOR on cage balls while wearing the strap.
Holy moly - I finally broke down and bought the 9 STRAP for Dylan. I've never heard his bat make the kind of “ding” it's making now. It really seems to be helping his swing and contact.
My son has been using it for a few games now and instantly noticed an improvement in his hitting. He's always been a great hitter, but now he's more connected - he hit a 325' home run in a championship game over the weekend.
Used it in my last softball tournament — batted .750 with two inside-the-park home runs and won all-tournament MVP. So my answer is: I love it.
Immediate difference on the first swing. If you're thinking about trying it, buy it. You won't regret it.
My 6-year-old used it during a quick 15-minute tee session. 5 swings without it, then 5 with it - the difference was immediate. He even said it felt like he was holding the bat better. Then 5 more without, and his swing was still about 80% improved after just those 5 reps with the strap. Really impressed.
Made my 46-year-old hands feel immediately 20 years younger. I went with the Pro because I use old-school pine tar and didn't want to deal with messy Velcro, but if the Velcro models are anything like the Pro, this thing is worth every penny.
The single most impactful piece of equipment out there, with immediate and undeniable results!
My 9-year-old went into a slump this fall batting a miserable .056 and I wasn't sure he wanted to play anymore. I told him to try the 9 STRAP again - what could it hurt? Since then he's hit a team-high .611 through 12 games. Whether it's mental or the strap, he's sold on it and he's loving the game again. Thank you.
For whatever reason, the moment she put on the 9 STRAP her hitting improved. She had her best tournament this weekend, and if nothing else her confidence is back. Everyone was giving me a hard time about it being a scam, but for my daughter it is working.
My sophomore son was in a bit of a slump. After using this strap, he went 3-for-4 yesterday and hit two big doubles today. Other kids on the team are ordering them now.
Best investment I've made for my daughter. The confidence boost from the improvement in her batting was worth everything.
I bought the gloves for my 7-year-old grandson and he has never hit better or been more consistent and confident! He hasn't struck out once since he's had them. We call them his Super Power Baseball Gloves!
From the 11-year-old himself: 'It really helps with my hitting. I notice a difference when I wear them vs. when I don't. I don't hit as good without them on.'
Just got the gloves for our 10-year-old after previously having the strap. The leather quality is way better than the other fancy brands we've gone through that kept tearing, and the gloves mean one less thing to remember. It really helped our son who was rolling over a lot. Best money we've spent compared to all the expensive bats and gear.
My son made the switch from the batting gloves he was absolutely loyal to, and now he won't go back. He loves the 9 STRAP gloves even more.
Great idea behind these gloves and they're priced fairly compared to competitors.
Get the 9 STRAP! My daughter hit better than she ever has with it. Customer service is also top notch - ours was too big, and they were extremely helpful with the return and quick with the refund. Great product and customer service!
Ryan called me personally TWICE to make sure my child got the gloves he needed. Loyal customers here.
