The Edge PowerTM is designed to elevate your training to the next level. It is the only adjustable weighted training glove on the market with proven results. A variable-weighted glove, it comes fitted with 12 ounces of weight per hand. The weight can be increased from 2 ounces up to a pound by 2 ounce increments. Additional weight packs can be ordered to reach the maximum weight of 1 pound per hand. The Edge PowerTM was first developed to strengthen a third baseman’s arm to increase the velocity of the throw, and it worked! Shortly after it was introduced it was tried as a training device to increase hand speed for batting. Again, it worked, and it continues to work over and over again. The Edge PowerTM helps strengthen every muscle used in the throwing motion. Every player from Little League to professional can benefit from The Edge. It is great for stretching, warming up and practicing. This is the only training device that strengthens while the wearer is doing nothing more than throwing. It's that easy! Not only does it increase velocity, it also helps to reduce chance of  injury. THROWING: Whether you pitch, catch, play the infield or outfield a strong throwing arm is important. What if you could increase the speed of your pitch or just throw the ball with greater velocity? You can! *for ages 12 an up HITTING: The Edge PowerTM definitely increases power in hitting. The Edge can be worn during warm-up, in the batting cage and during batting practice. It is no secret that bat speed is a vital part of power hitting and The Edge works to increase bat speed. By wearing The Edge on a regular basis, swinging the applied weight helps strengthen all the muscles used throughout the entire swinging motion. This is known as functional strengthening through functional exercise. This not only works for the major muscles, but also the minor muscles, which help with control.  *The Edge Power glove is not recommended for players under 12 years old.  The smallest size available is Adult small. *Inspect the weight pockets before each use to check for holes or tears.  Discontinue use if you notice any type of hole or tear in any weight pocket.

ARM SPEED DEVELOPMENT (example) Once sufficiently warmed up follow the routine below for two weeks: MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY Begin with a distance that you are comfortable with. Insert a 2 oz. weight Throw the ball 10 times Gradually increase distance/Add a 2 oz. weight Throw the ball 8 times Gradually increase distance/Add a 2 oz. weight Throw the ball 6 times Gradually increase distance/Add a 2 oz. weight Throw the ball 6 times Gradually increase distance/Remove  2 oz.  weight Throw 10 times Gradually increase distance/Remove a 2 oz. weight Throw 12 times Gradually increase distance/Remove the 2 oz. weight Throw 15 times ** It is recommended to limit the weight to 10oz. for throwing exercises. TUESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY Follow the above throwing pattern without Edge Power Glove Be certain to increase your distance gradually Try to throw the ball on a line (one hop or two hop at great distances) When throwing concentrate on putting 12 to 6 rotational spin on the ball Make a habit of removing the ball from your glove in a four seam grip The above program is a training system that incorporates the Overload/Underload philosophy. This training regimen has been utilized in virtually all sports with proven results in modifying the muscle fibers in an athlete. The Overload function creates strength and endurance fibers, while the Underload function develops and enhances the fast twitch muscle fibers. The muscle memory created by a dedicated training program following this principle results in enhanced strength and speed in the sport specific muscle groups the athlete is training. In this instance greater arm strength and arm speed will result in a ball being thrown with greater velocity. At the conclusion of the two-week phase, assess your improvement and ability to increase repetitions without harm to your body. If you feel you can increase the workload, it is suggested that you perform the above program two times per session. BAT SPEED DEVELOPMENT (example) Every body knows the importance of bat speed, but few people know how to attain it. By your purchase of the Edge Power Gloves product you realize that the right training product and a good training program can help you achieve greater bat speed. Mind you, the right product and training program won't do anything for you if you don't apply them. Ultimately, your success in attaining your goals is a result of your desire to achieve them. This product won't do you any good lying on your desk or sitting in your bat bag. Use them and follow the program below to see fantastic results in a few short weeks. MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY Start with two weights inserted (one 4 oz. and one 2 oz.) Swing the bat 10 times Insert a 4oz. weight Swing 8 times Insert a 2 oz. weight Swing 6 times Remove 2 oz. weight Swing 8 times Remove 4 oz. weight Swing 10 times Remove 2 oz. weight Swing 12 times Remove 4 oz. weight Swing 15 times This program can be utilized during tee work, soft toss, or dry cuts. Concentrate on performing a well-balanced, smooth swing. When performing dry cuts visualize a pitch in the perfect spot of the strike zone, take the knob of the bat directly at the pitch, try to delay the release of the barrel head into the impact zone for as long as possible. This prolonged delay is one of the secrets to bat speed. Keep your hand path short to the ball and long through the ball. You can also utilize the Edge Power Gloves in single-handed improvement. Incorporate the above 10,8,6,8,10,12,15 pattern while performing one hand hitting drills. You may also simply weight one hand of the gloves in the above sequence and follow a normal routine of soft toss or tee work. Top hand and/or Bottom hand improvement will result. If you feel you are weak in one of these areas, it wouldn't hurt to concentrate on that particular hand for a week or so. TUESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY Normal cage work off of live pitching or a pitching machine is suggested. You may also perform pushups or some other form of strength conditioning exercise. A good exercise that is sport specific for bat speed is the Wrist Roll (performed with a light weight attached to a rope and rolled up on a piece of wood). Another is squeezing a tennis or racquetball. These exercises concentrate on the forearms and hands, very important factors in the hitting process. GOLF and TENNIS As you can see from the above training regimens the basic pattern is to decrease the repetitions of a given sport specific movement as the weight of the Edge Power Glove is increased. This holds true in the golf and tennis functions as well. The key of course is to consistently train in the program for long enough to train the muscles involved in the movement. It is suggested that the athlete hit golf or tennis balls without the use of the Edge Power Gloves at least two days a week. Follow the below program and watch your drives go farther and serves go faster in a matter of weeks. MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY Start with two weights inserted (one 4 oz. and one 2 oz.) Swing 10 times Insert a 4oz. weight Swing 8 times Insert a 2 oz. weight Swing 6 times Remove 2 oz. weight Swing 8 times Remove 4 oz. weight Swing 10 times Remove 2 oz. weight Swing 12 times Remove 4 oz. weight Swing 15 times Golfers may wish to follow the routine with weights added and deleted from both gloves, or utilize only one glove for improvement with the lead or follow hand. Tennis players may wish to utilize both gloves while working on any two handed impact drills, such as a two handed backhand. Make an effort to perform the listed sequence of 10,8,6,8,10,12,15 to fully incorporate the Overload/Under load training system. Always use the "Soreness Rule" while training the arm and shoulder. If you feel soreness at the next training session, go through the training program without any weights, and only continue using weights when the soreness is gone. When training with weights, be patient. Begin with a comfortable weight and slowly increase the weight used. Use proper supervision while training with any type of weights. *The Edge Power glove is not recommended for players under 12 years old.  The smallest size available is Adult small. *Inspect the weight pockets before each use to check for holes or tears.  Discontinue use if you notice any type of hole or tear in any weight pocket.NEED IT FAST?
