BASEBALL & SOFTBALL
The Grip Is Where Games Are Won and Lost
Every swing, every throw, every play starts in your hands. Baseball and softball players know this better than anyone. A weak grip costs you bat speed. It costs you throw velocity. It costs you control in the moments that matter most. That is why grip training has been a staple of baseball training for decades, and why the rice bucket became a clubhouse standard at every level of the game.
Built From the Game
Great Ape Grips was born out of baseball. Founder Brent Gibbs spent years as a Division 1 and professional baseball player using rice bucket training to build the hand strength and forearm endurance that the game demands. The problem was always the same. Rice buckets are messy, inconsistent, and impossible to travel with. You could not bring a bucket of rice to the hotel before a road series. You could not use it during spring training without making a mess. The workout was proven. The tool was not.
Great Ape Grips is the solution that Brent wished existed. Everything the rice bucket delivers, portable, clean, and consistent, in a neoprene bag you can take anywhere.
What It Does For Your Game
Grip strength directly impacts every aspect of your performance on the field. For hitters, a stronger grip means more bat control, faster hands through the zone, and more power transferred from your body into the ball. For pitchers and position players, stronger hands and forearms mean better throw velocity, longer endurance through a season, and reduced injury risk in the wrist, elbow, and forearm.
The Great Ape Grips bag uses 3 pounds of resistance against every movement your hand and wrist make, training the full range of muscles that control grip, dexterity, and wrist stability simultaneously. Train before practice as a warm up. Train after games for recovery. Use it in the hotel room on the road. There is no setup, no mess, and no excuse not to put in the work.
