A while back, someone posted about wearing leather workout gloves to aid your grip while manual stretching. I thought about trying a golf glove, which is very thin, supple tight fitting leather, but never got around to it until last night.
I was getting my clubs ready for a round this afternoon, and since I was in the basement, I slipped on my glove, pulled my shorts aside, and gave willy a good stretch.
WOW!
Unbelievable gripping power! MUCH better than anything I've tried before, including baby powder and my current stand by white paper towels. I could honestly put about double the force on my shaft as I could without the glove.
Now I just have to by new ones for each hand, as my last years glove that I used for the test is pretty shot and dirty.
But this is definitely worth it if you are a manual stretcher. You can probably get a pair at Walmart for $12-14. Don't have to be name brand, just a good tight fit when you clench your fist and made of thin supple leather.
