About this project

Many times when it comes to a sports accessory, the grips can be too narrow for people who cannot bend their hand all the way, those people need a thicker grip in order to effectively use the muscles of the hand. When the adapter is of a diameter that will not suit the patient, this will allow him a full grip and proper use of his hand capabilities
