Abstract: A handle grip can be used as a training aid in conjunction with a swinging implement, such as a baseball bat. The handle grip can be a single member that can provide a modified handle for gripping the swinging implement. The handle grip can have an inner surface cross-section that generally conforms in shape to a cross-section of a handle of the swinging implement. The handle grip can have an outer surface cross-section that approximates an oval or ellipsoid cross-section that can dictate an advantageous knuckle alignment on the grip. When used in conjunction with the swinging implement, such as a baseball bat, the handle grip can dictate a handling technique where the swinging implement handle with the modified grip can be held predominantly in a user's fingers rather than deep in a user's palms.
