on performance
ProXR-ONE™
ProXR is performance-focused grip technology featuring our innovative designs that maximize swing performance. The core of our patented grip structures are founded on biomechanics and ergonomics – which means all ProXR grips work with your hands throughout the swing. All ProXR designs feature our distinctive round handle and angled knob with smooth supporting structures that fully engage your hand to achieve the ultimate leverage and control.
Your hands take a beating from conventional bat knobs and handles because they crush your bottom-gripping hand and slow your swing – they act like a speed bump in your swing and performance. ProXR dramatically reduces that compression and resistance, giving you a more direct path through the ball with increased control and leverage – no more speed bump! In more simple terms, you grip the bat more securely, you swing the bat with more control and you mash the ball better than ever before.
We don’t make bats; we leave that up to the experts. We do make bats perform better – much better. Visit our amazing partners – the best bat makers in the game – and choose the brand of bat you want with the ProXR technology that best fits your swing.

Triple Threat
The original ProXR ONE™ ergonomic knob features increased grip connection, increased leverage, improved performance and more power. The original ProXR knob is for players who prefer a more aggressive feel in the hands from load through contact – that means more power at the plate.

The ProXR ICON™ knob provides a sleeker shape with the same grip connection at contact with less of the knob in the hand. With an extremely connected feel and silky smooth swing, the ProXR ICON delivers all the power, performance and protection of ProXR, with just the right amount of grip connection. Made for technical hitters who hit to all fields and also drive the ball deep.

The new ProXR EPIC™ pairs ProXR’s legendary ergonomics with a new twist in no-knob design. The resulting design is a streamlined, minimal knob having solid grip connection at contact and knob-free extension through contact. The ProXR EPIC delivers a stable grip structure for the fingers while nearly eliminating the knob on the palm side. This knob is for power hitters seeking minimal compression, minimal resistance and extreme freedom in the hands. The result is increased power to drive through the ball.

ProXR-PUCK ™
The new ProXR-PUCK™ knob leverages our biomechanics and ergonomic designs with the counter-balance properties of the popular PUCK knob. For players seeking a quicker bat and lighter swing weight, this is the only puck knob that increases leverage and control. The puck knob concept isn’t new; anyone can make a puck knob, but only our partner bat companies’ puck knobs have the added performance, leverage and control of ProXR.

Do you really know where the sweet spot on the barrel is? The new ProXR SWEET SPOTTER helps you find the exact sweet spot on the barrel of wood or metal bats, mark it, then train your eyes and swing to make more consistent and powerful contact. This new training tool uses the science of physics to help you find the sweet spot and promotes increased optical acuity to help you see the sweet spot as you’re driving the barrel to and through the ball. Increase your barrel percentage, launch angle, and hard contact by seeing what you couldn’t see before. Find the sweet spot, see the sweet spot and hit it on the sweet spot. Order today.

FAQs
ProXR™
Is ProXR legal?
Yes, ProXR knobs for baseball and softball are approved for use in professional, collegiate and high school play.
Who swings ProXR in the big leagues?
These are just a few of the growing number of players swinging ProXR: the Mets Pete Alonso, Yankees Harrison Bader, Cardinals Tyler O’Neill, Padres Josh Bell, Brewers Kolten Wong, Mets Mark Canha, Orioles Cedric Mullins, Mets’ Brandon Nimmo, and more players switching every week.
Is ProXR just like the axe?
No. While they may seem similar, there’s a substantial difference. The axe is a tool handle concept applied to a baseball bat. Think of it this way: tool handles are oval, not round. Baseball bats are round, not oval. The axe’s oval shape evolved over thousands of years for a chopping motion swing – a swing that ends at contact. ProXR is ROUND, just like a regular bat handle and knob – it’s made specifically for a baseball swing that goes through contact – it’s made for a swing, not a chop.
How can I buy a ProXR bat?
We don’t sell bats – we leave that to the experts. We license the ProXR grip technology to the best bat craftsmen in the game. Check out our partners: Old Hickory Bat Company, Dove Tail Bat Company, MaxBats, Phoenix Bats, Dinger Bats, Homewood Bats and JAW Bats to order.
How do you properly hold ProXR?
The pinky on your base-gripping hand goes on the high side of the knob and the long sloped section of the knob fits in the heal of the hand like this…
With ProXR, the bat “feels” a bit shorter, why?
While the pinky is now situated up the handle about 1/2 an inch, the relationship to the palm of the base-gripping hand in relation to the overall bat length is the same as with the bat prior to installing the SWITCH™. Additionally, and this is kind of cool, the bat will “feel” lighter and perhaps shorter because of the increased leverage your son now has over the bat.
Aren’t ProXR and the axe handle the same thing?
No. The swing of a baseball bat goes THROUGH CONTACT with the ball – that’s why ProXR is round, just like a regular bat. The axe handle is an 8,000 year old tool handle design that’s been applied to a baseball bat. Tool handles, like axes, hatchets, hammers and others are designed for a swing that ENDS AT CONTACT. This is very important to know because any oval shape in your hands is going to cause your swing to get stuck on plane and that oval shape actually fights your follow through.
SWITCH™
How much does SWITCH weigh?
The SWITCH only weighs 14 grams, unlike other flared bat tapers that can weigh up to 22 grams!
Is the SWITCH™ like one of those PUCK knobs?
No. The SWITCH™ doesn’t change the balance or swing weight of your bat. It does improve swing performance by optimizing the biomechanics of your grip connection on the bat.
Is the SWITCH™ easy to put on?
The hardest part is removing the old grip tape and bat taper. See the installation video here.
