You're trying to increase your distance. Or your power. Or you're trying to prevent shoulder injuries while swinging. The 9 STRAP fixes all three — the moment you put it on. Patented injury-preventing technology.
“I guarantee you clicked this video because you’re either trying to increase your distance, your power, or trying to prevent shoulder injuries while swinging.”
Locking the hands reduces the bat's effective moment of inertia — the same swing produces faster bat speed, more exit velocity, more carry. We've seen 4–7 mph exit-velo gains in 3 weeks. That's the difference between a warning-track fly and a no-doubt homer.
Hands fire at the same instant — no early top hand, no dragging bottom hand. The bat arrives on plane with the ball, every swing. Power isn't about strength; it's about timing. The 9 STRAP enforces the timing.
Without locked hands, the swing finishes one-armed — the lead arm extends across the body, stressing the shoulder labrum and elbow. With the 9 STRAP, both hands stay on the bat through the finish. Third-party testing: up to 30 inches less backswing reach. Safer reps. Better swings.
Three builds, one job — keep both hands locked on the bat through contact. Tap a card to load it into the shop below.
Slide it on the bare hand. Loop it over the top-hand thumb. Grip the bat. Now both hands are mechanically linked — no drills, no muscle memory required. The exact mechanics big-league hitters spend decades grooving, finally enforced by the gear.
Unlock the powerSame hitter. Same bat. Same pitch. The 9 STRAP keeps both hands through contact — and you can see the bat path collapse to a single tight line. That's where the bat speed comes from. That's where the safety comes from.
Unlock the powerSame patented technology. The Compatible Glove pairs with any 9 STRAP model. The Integrated Glove has the strap built right in.
Same materials. Same craftsmanship. Same patented technology. The only question is whether you want the strap baked in — or kept separate so you can swap.

9 STRAP was invented by Ryan Vaughn — not a coach, not a credentialed swing guru. A pool contractor in Orange County who happened to play on Yucaipa High’s back-to-back CIF championship teams in ’93 and ’94.
On July 6, 2023, Ryan watched Corbin Carroll — then the front-runner for Rookie of the Year — nearly tear his labrum on a one-armed swing finish. He looked at his wife Alyson and said, “there has to be a way to prevent that.” Within days she was at the kitchen table stitching the first 9 STRAP out of an old Rawlings batting glove and gift-wrapping ribbon.
Gary’s whole career was a clinic on connected hands. The famous bat-wag. The whip through the zone. The 509 home runs. Ryan’s strap is the first piece of equipment that gives a 12-year-old the same hand position a 22-year MLB veteran spent decades drilling into muscle memory.
