If you play baseball at the high school, college, or professional level, the
WristRipper™ is a tool that will help you enhance your performance and make you a better all-around player. If you look at any player in the major leagues
from Barry Bonds to David Eckstein, they all have very strong hands, wrists, and forearms. Bat control and good bat speed are two of the most important aspects of becoming a good hitter and are two of the first things scouts and coaches look for in a player. Pitchers need strong forearms not only to increase velocity and movement on their pitches, but also to protect themselves against lower arm injuries due to the repetitive motion of throwing a baseball. Developing strong hands, wrists, and forearms with the
WristRipper™ can help you develop the grip strength and necessary to become a better baseball player. Here are some of the results you can expect to achieve by
training with the WristRipper™:
Here are a few quotes from professionals emphasizing strong hands, wrists, and forearms. These are not paid endorsements, but quotes taken from various books.
"To me, the part of the body that the ballplayer would most work on strengthening is not his arm or his back or his legs, but his wrists! The more you can do to increase your wrist strength, the stronger player you will become."
"Whether you're a hitter or a pitcher, your wrist is involved in just about every play. Coaches and scouts always talk about 'wrist strength' or 'quick wrists' and unless you're just naturally born with great wrist strength, the only way you're going to secure this vital tool is by working at it."

"You can make a lot of mistakes with your body, your hips, and your shoulders, but if you have good quick hands and keep them back, you can make up for a lot of that. On the other hand, you can have everything else mechanically correct but it you've got poor hand speed, you're in a world of trouble."
"A lot of power is generated from the lower body. That power, coupled with hand action, is what results in the long ball."

"The hitter will go a long way when he realizes that his hand speed is vital in governing the start, delay, speed, and direction of his stroke."

Testimonials
"Strong hands and forearms are very important for baseball players. Strong hands, wrists, and forearms can help players improve their bat control and bat speed, which translates into better contact and more power. Forearm training is a big part of our strength and conditioning program. We used to use a similar device comprised of a wooden stick, a rope with a weight tied on, but it was slippery and awkward to use. I was very happy to upgrade our
old wrist roller with the WristRipper™. No more hand slippage, the device is well balanced, and it is easy in increase and decrease the amount of weight
for stronger players. The WristRipper™ is very effective, the players love to use it, and it gets the results we are looking for. I have seen a significant improvement in my players’ strength and bat speed since we incorporated the
WristRipper™ into our workouts."
