The best Baseball & Softball Batting Weights: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I've had this problem throughout my life. Especially after long batting cage sessions. My solutions have been Easton Adult HS VRS Batting Gloves that have a pad right there on the outside of the palm (I assume specifically for this issue). I haven't had the blister since I've worn those, but the Easton model is discontinued you can try searching Amazon for whatever places have in stock. Also the last year I have had one of those rubber Bat Ring/Power Pads on the knob of my BP bat and it seems to have cushioned the knob enough to stop the problem as well.

EDIT: Here's a Rawlings glove with the same type of palm/heel padding

They are vital to do the program correctly. I just bought two baseball bat weights like these, they fit perfectly.

I use a "bat weight" such as this: http://www.amazon.com/DeMarini-Bat-Weight-Red-16-Ounce/dp/B005EZ3ABW/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1463515414&sr=1-2&keywords=BAT+WEIGHT

I attached two rare-earth magnets with electrical tape, and voila! You simply slide it up and down the bottom of the tube to adjust balance.

There are cheap alternatives to micro plates. I bought a couple 20 ounce bat weights on sale and they fit the bar perfectly. Others use weighted wristbands, lengths of chain, or they'll put a 2.5 lb plate on one side of the bar and swear they don't notice the imbalance.

I bought a couple of these:

They're stated to be 1.25 pounds. I weighed them and they're close enough. Also, they fit snugly on an olympic barbell, so no worries of it falling off. A bit expensive, but easy to buy and use.
