“Being a fellowship trained sports medicine orthopedic surgeon who treats professional athletes, I know that any advantage in a competition can be the difference between winning and losing. I believe Syndigrip can provide a major advantage to a hitter on any level at any age. I believe that one of Syndigrip’s major advantages will be injury prevention. The polyurethane design provides padding. This should help reduce carpal (including the hook of the hamate), metacarpal and phalanx contusions and fractures from repeated impact or the unfortunate occurrence of a hit batsman. With its custom fit design, the incidence of forearm fatigue and muscular strain should decrease over the course of a season. When hitting the ball off the end of the bat or near the hands, the vibrations should be dampened, preventing pain. I believe Syndigrip is an innovative tool to aid hitters who want to maximize their ability. By preventing fractures and overuse injuries, Syndigrip’s advantages should be noticed instantly, but more importantly over the long course of a season.”
