Abstract
A training device for use with sporting equipment, such as bats and clubs, is provided. The device can include a main body defined by a perimeter sidewall and can include two openings defined through the body. The perimeter sidewall can have rounded end regions and flattened top and bottom regions and can be sized to accommodate two openings large enough to receive a user's fingers. The device can be used by inserting the index finger on one hand through the bottom opening and the little finger of the opposing hand through the upper opening. The user can then align the user's knuckles to the desired grip and grip the bat or club handle. The device can then assist the user in maintaining the proper grip of the bat or club handle while holding and swinging the bat or club.
