Grip Assistive Baseball Glove

The challenge

This glove aids people with smaller and weaker hands in gripping a baseball. The mechanism is triggered by the impact of the baseball to assist the user in closing the glove around the ball. It makes baseball more accessible and inclusive.

Who it helps

This product is targeted towards users who have weakness in the hands and/or have smaller hands that can't find baseball gloves in the current market.

How it works

Our solution involves adding components to a regular baseball glove so that the force of a baseball will cause it to close, aiding the user in catching the ball.

We are offering a way to modify a commercially found baseball glove to assist people with weaker hands in gripping a baseball.

Tools needed

FDM Printer
