The Magic of Super Glue

January 20, 2009 by  

Every baseball player out there at some point gets a blister or blisters on their hand. It obviously comes from swinging the bat excessively. Once your baseball season gets rolling, your hands will obviously get tougher forming what we call a callus. At that point, there are usually very little issues with blisters. However in the mean time, if and when they do appear, your best solution is to use Super Glue. You can have 3 blisters on your hand and be ready to swing in a couple hours. Super Glue should be applied in layers, place the first layer on and then shortly after it dries, apply the second layer and repeat again for a third layer. This is an old trick I learned when I decided I wouldn’t wear batting gloves anymore. Not wearing batting gloves may help with your eye hand coordination, as it allows for a better bat feel in your hands during your swing. Once you get used to hitting with no gloves and using the pine tar, you may start to see a slight improvement in your batting average.
I am not a doctor, however I am just sharing my experience with super glue and how it has held up for me. I have used this for a few years on my hands and it has worked quite well.
