Abstract: The Teknical Practice Bat induces the ideal swing through conditioning multiple sections of the player's mechanics at once. From the knob, that forces one to stay fluent through the stroke, and not roll their wrists. To the flat barrel that displays a desirable flight of the ball, when the player squares up and connects correctly. Upon returning to the typical bat, The Teknical Practice Bat produces an improved skillset by conditioning the proper mechanics. The mechanics vary throughout the player's entire body; From the ideal positioning of the upper body to the lower halfs explosive rotation necessary to power the heavier Teknical practice bat through the strike zone. The mechanics are derived from the copyrighted Tek-Matic approach. The techniques utilized are disclosed along with the description of the Tek-Matic approach. This approach was developed over years of experience supported by statistical evidence. Some of these skills include consistent contact, power, and sound mechanical approach.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method, for improving the ability of a person to handle a piece of sports equipment, which uses one or more gloves operatively adapted to make each hand wearing a glove develop a heightened sense of touch and/or improve the person's ability to concentrate on handling the sports equipment, when the sports equipment is handled for a sufficient period of time while wearing the glove. The present invention enables a person to handle the sports equipment with more confidence and authority. The present method includes the steps of providing at least one such glove, wearing the glove on a hand, and handling the sports equipment with the gloved hand until the ability of the person to handle the sports equipment, with the glove removed, is improved.
