If you want to look diffrent in the Gym try these.. although for martial arts or ball sports why not? anyone used these? would train forearms and grip strength to a degree.

$49.95 is a lot of bucks spent.

Years ago I've seen a few guy's use sea sponges (the natural one's about the size of a softball, not the oblong ones sold in regular stores ) when gripping a bar. Squeezing helped the grip they said....no doubt. Also guy's would double up on regular cooking pot holders and use those on the BB/DB's.

Those grips shown look something like baseball pitchers use for the different hand positions and improving the grip.  Good Luck.
