1 . Powerhandz Sports Gloves I will take any advantage when it comes to performing better on the golf course or the basketball court . I noticed recently my golf shots have been going farther and it could be due to the Powerhandz gloves I have been wearing .
These weighted training gloves were designed to improve strength in the hand and arm muscles for increased power and speed . The weight is distributed across the top side of the glove with a grip material on the palm .
The gloves can increase finger strength which allows for proper control of a bat or golf club in full swing . $ 70 www . powerhandz . com
