As title states, Lionel was using one as was Sebby. It is a swim aid that helps with the fist drill in swimming. I checked tyr and finnis couldn’t find anything. Thanks for any help.
Can you just make a fist and hold it, or do you really feel the need to pay money for something?

Umm, make a fist?
All depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The first thing I would say is that if you are swimming less than 4x a week, don’t worry about drills.
You can use the “donut†spacers from in between the lane ropes. It’s a modified “fist†drill where you press down against the buoyancy of the “donut†and try to grab/pull the water with your forearm.
Hope this help,

Tennis ball?
I know the device he’s talking about. It’s basically a forearm paddle with a grip that sticks out from the end. No idea who makes it, but if you dig through triathlon taren videos he shows it in one of his videos.
I’m kinda on the “just make a fist” side of the fence though.
Is it the Finnis Forearm Fulcrum?
If so, I tried that thing once and thought it was crap. I’m with Jay on this one and just close your fist.

This one?
Yea similar to the fulcrum, and making a fist is great and all but if you are doing drills at the end of a swim workout feeling the forearm in the water isn’t easy. That’s why aids are so useful. They keep your stroke 100% honest. It’s easy to compensate and take a shortcut when using just a fist.
If you’re talking about these, I have a pair of the 7" (used twice) you could have if you pay shipping.
I find tying my ankles together and panicking my way through 25-50 at a time is better than anything I can do with my hands.
Two Tee Shirts, one in each hand.
Not sure if these are the same ones:

I don’t know as I haven’t seen the videos you mention. But Finis has (or used to make) the PT paddles - SwimOutlet still carries them.
I know SwimSmooth recommended them at some point.

It is?
Personally, I prefer swim “aids” that make things harder to execute, essentially forcing you to overcompensate. But that’s me…
available at your local swim shop or bondage shop, though those only come in black…
seriously though - terrible idea. if you can’t hold a fist, then you’re not taking enough time to do the drill.
Golf balls. Tighter fist and they sink if you cheat.

Actually, this video discusses about 10-12 diff drills to correct various mistakes but none of these are the fist drill.

I’m just quoting this for posterity. You linked to a Taren video and said that… I’m chuckling a little bit.
