is forearm strength the same thing as hand strength? not to sound sarcastic but i have never heard of hand strength before though i have heard forearm strength.

basball pitchers have great forearm strength, just ask a pitcher how to improve forearm strength. as they use a suprizingly similar method to pitch. they use a windup and weight transfer and propel their hand with their body then release with their hands using their forearms strength.

a good exersize for forearms would be to tie a weight to a string and let the wieght hand a few feet and tie the other end to a stick and roll the stick in your hand to roll up the weight as if reving a motorcycle.......(http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/g...arm-wrist.html an exersize ball is good, but that seems to be easy to to hundreds of reps becuase of lack of resistance, that will give you a bit of strength but more stamina..... for explosive strength, you want to less reps. so you can add as much weigh tas you can handle to do 8-12 reps.

correct me if i'm wrong drbrian
