Teach Hand Work in Real Time
Coaches lose reps every time they stop to grab a hand pad or correct placement after the fact. The Hand Work Vest puts the contact surface on the coach's body, so hand placement, leverage, and strike timing get demonstrated live, in real time, without slowing the drill down.
The vest uses a dual-layer EVA impact foam under a reinforced vinyl shell that holds up through full seasons of daily contact. The body-snug trapezoid shape keeps the surface tight to the torso so movement stays natural, and adjustable straps lock in a secure fit from S to XXL.
Key Features
- Wearable hand-strike trainer
- Dual-layer EVA foam
- Reinforced vinyl shell
- Trapezoid body-snug shape
- Adjustable S-XXL fit
Custom Lettering & Logos
