THE PRODUCTS WHY IS BIG HAND TECHNICALLY SOUND? WHAT IS BIG HAND It is a double-sided hand-bat that fits over the user's hand like a mitt. The adjustable distance between the two racket-shaped paddles and the design of the internal surfaces of the paddles ensure that hands of any size are held in position firmly but comfortably. You play with a soft spongy Big Hand ball which is a little larger than a tennis ball and gives a slow but high bounce. It is double sided and so facilitates simultaneous learning of forehand and backhand strokes No handle No distance between point of application of force and point of impact with ball Reduces distance from eyes to point of impact with ball Paddles extended over wrist Encourages proper orientation at the wrist, the elbow and the shoulder joints Discourages inappropriate use of the wrist in the swing ("floppy wrist syndrome") Later learning of the proper grip on a racket handle is a natural progression
