Abstract
The technology provides a method of reducing injury to a hamate bone for the lower hand while swinging a bat. The method includes determining a relief location for a knob of a wood baseball bat gripped with two hands, one above the other, with a lower hand being proximate to or contacting the knob. The process includes determining a location of a hamate hook on the lower hand, based on an intersection of a Kaplan's cardinal line and an ulnar border of ring line and placing a transferable substance over the hamate hook of the lower hand. A wooden baseball bat is selected and gripped with the grain positioned for a baseball to contact a hard side of a barrel during a swing. A location is identified to create a relief in the knob based on a transfer of the substance corresponding to a location of the hamate hook.
