| "After using the Weighted Agility Gloves, my players felt muscles in their hands, wrists and forearms that they never knew they had. I feel the WAGs will be an instrumental training aid for our program." |
| - Gene Schultz, winningest high school baseball coach in US history (over 1500 career wins,) Lansing Kee High School |
|
| "The Weighted Agility Gloves have made my players much smoother and quicker through the strike zone. After using the gloves extensively, I have found their swing pattern more fluid and the players have commented they feel stronger and get through the strike zone much more at ease. There is no doubt the focus on the hands for fielding drills and controlled throwing motions have enhanced our skills." |
| - Clint Myers, Head Softball Coach Arizona State University, current top ranked Div-1 program |
|
| "The Weighted Agility Gloves are and excellent addition to our specific sports training and allow us to expand our reach of our targeted programs for all of our clients seeking to maximize their performance on the ice/athletic field. The pros liked the gloves versus (as opposed to) the 1 and 2 lbs weights we use for shoulder rotations. I did a variety of upper body movements with them while holding the stick. I used them in many different settings and it worked to help the stabilizing muscles which we hit hard in this phase of training. Kids should not lift weights, but the gloves are the best tool for natural strength and recruitment without the stress or risk of improper technique and help them in gaining confidence." |
| - Frank Burggraf, President of Burggraf Performance Skating & trainer to over 100 professional hockey players including Jason Blake and Curtis Brown |
|
| "These are great for bat speed development and we have incorporated these gloves into our hitting and throwing drills." |
| - Lori Meyer, Head Softball Coach, Minnesota State University (Mankato.) Lori has 632 wins, 14th most in Div II history among active coaches |
|
| "The Weighted Agility Gloves give any player an advantage by having resistance directly on the hands and fingers, which feels natural to the hitter. This helps to enhance bat speed as well as promote the proper and correct swing pattern." |
| - Bill Springman, Hitting Coordinator, Minnesota Twins |
|
| "When it comes to hitting and swinging, it doesn't change their swing and the path of the bat doesn't change. My pitchers like to use them in drills such as the towel drill to develop strength and quickness. We would recommend them to anyone." |
| - Dean Bowyer, Head baseball Coach, Minnesota State University at Mankato |
|
| "I was recently introduced to your Weighted Agility Glove and was very impressed with the design, quality and performance. As a doctor of physical therapy, I am always looking for products for my patients that are easy to use, fun and allow safe body mechanics especially. The variety of therapeutic activities and strengthening exercises you can perform with the Weighted Agility Glove is huge. The gloves allow us to add resistance evenly in the hand versus traditional wrist weights. This allows our patients to perform functional activities (with resistance) in a more normal pattern. Excellent product!! I would definitely recommend the gloves to my patients." |
| - Jeff Hill, DPT, MA, CSCS - Director, CaroMont Rehab and Sports Medicine, 640 Summit Crossing Place, Suite 208, Gastonia , NC 28054 |
|
| "There is NO question we have seen a difference in hand speed with our girls. We use then daily in the batting cage to develop speed and power." |
| - Robb Digiacomo, Head Softball Coach, Monroe Community College, Rochester, NY, 2006-2007 National Champions |
|
| "After using the Weighted Agility Gloves for 4 weeks, Carlos Rojas has hit his first home run in 8 years of big league play. He is hitting the ball immensely harder than he ever has and I know there is a direct correlation between the use of the gloves and his rapid increase in power. There is no doubt this product has had a great impact on his improvement." |
| - Brad Komminsk, Manager, Bowie Baysox Baseball Team, AA Affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles |
|
| "We're constantly evolving. It's our job to stay cutting edge it's really important to maintain a beginners mind set and be cutting edge with the training that's available. There is definitely a need in basketball for this training tool." |
| - Erick Schork, Strength and Conditioning coach for Basketball Coach Rick Majerus; St. Louis |
|
| "I started using the Weighted Agility Gloves 6 weeks ago. I have terrible repetitive motion problems including carpal tunnel from years of work on an assembly line, and at times it has stopped me from working due to the pain and discomfort. I used the gloves, as instructed by Draz Athletics, 3-4 times per week stressing extension of the fingers and fully expanding my fingers/hand in an outward motion (as my rep from Draz suggested.) This is the exact opposite motion that I do at my job in which I have my fingers bent and flexing all day (and don't open my fingers to work extension during my job other than an occasional stretch.) I liked the gloves because I actually use them while watching TV at night and the gloves are comfortable to wear and have absolutely no impact or jarring on my joints. I really believe that the gloves balance my hands by gently working muscle groups I rarely use, and they allow full range of motion so I also can extend my fingers/hand. It took about 2 weeks of use to start to notice a difference in my pain level and strength of hands. I would say that in 6 weeks my pain level has DROPPED 50%!!! I am so thankful for this product and would recommend it to anyone." |
| - Cindy DeVine, Waterloo, IA |

| "The gloves have been very beneficial to my father. He has used the gloves for a period of 6-8 months and has seen a marked improvement in strength and dexterity. His doctors have also noted the improvement. At the age of 83 he has gone back to playing his guitar and performing other tasks which prior to working with the gloves he could not have done." |
| - Wade Prejean, WAG user |

| "I'm an old-timer hockey player that plays with the young guys and as a goalie, speed, reflexes, and body control are an important part of my game (being lucky sometimes helps). Since I have been training with your gloves this is what has happened, my hand speed has improved, I've got an incredible grip on my stick which let's me shoot the puck a lot harder than ever before and my stick control is great. My hand strength is incredible, I had no idea how weak my hands were before! Also, I used to have a problem with swelling in my hands and wrists, I really had a hard time making a closed fist. Well about a week into using the gloves I noticed my hands were not swelling as much and today this is not an issue at all! I use my gloves at the gym when I work out and I'm actually wearing them right now as I'm sending you this e-mail!!! The gloves have become a part of my everyday life, I've got a pair in my gym bag and a pair at work." |

|
| "I can slip on the glove while in my wheel chair and work on strengthening my arms. The physical therapy staff loves the idea of me being able to work on my own and have seen great improvement in my strength and motion. I love the weighted agility gloves and know they are helping speed my recovery time." |
| - Gail Traulsen, Shoreline, Washington |
|
| "Back in 1987 I had elbow surgery that left the strength in my right hand weaker than the left. Using your gloves two-four times a week since October of 2007 has built strength in the hand that I hadn't had in years. It is wonderful to see how the gloves have helped me get a grip on things better than before and build strength in the arm overall. It was well worth the money to use an item that helps so well." |
| - Kevin Patrowsky, MaxPreps.com, Milwaukee, WI |
|
| "I love my WAGs (Weighted Agility Gloves)! The first time I tried them, I could feel the "burn" in my fingers and forearms. I like to work-out on a regular basis and I have never experienced that type of sensation in those muscles. I am currently training for a marathon and use the WAGs on the days of my short runs. Not only does it help keep my upper body toned, but I feel that it has increased my lung capacity by using more muscles when I run. As a motorcyclist, I have noticed a significant reduction in the arthritis in my hands and my hand connection and response time with the clutch and front brakes has become faster and stronger." |
