We sell a lot of the Hammer Grip Sacks. Think we sold them for $5 or around that. Ordered my regular replacement batch and was surprised to see that they are now changed.
They are nearly twice as big (8" X 8"), black micro fiber with the Black Widow logo in red. They look sharp! However, my first impression was that they were WAY too big to be a grip sack and of course now they are double the price and they are not packaged. I don't think they are going to sell like the smaller ones.
My question to any Hammer company folks is why did you do this? You could have put the BW logo on the same size bag, even changed to micro fiber and used the same packaging. I'm afraid these sacks are going to be too big. They will overflow all but the biggest hands.

I have one of those and I love it. My hand is not big (roughly 4 1/4 cut-to-cut).

Pretty sure you're talking about two different products. The grip sacks are smaller, maybe 3" X 5" and the BW Grip Sacks are gigantic. Maybe your distributor sent the wrong ones or something...

The ones you were getting are on the bottom in the middle, and the ones you most recently got are bottom right...i'm assuming.

I have sold a few of the bigger ones and the customers say they love the larger size. Personally, I don't like it but what can ya do ? I've even thought about sewing it down the middle and cutting it in half just to see if I like the smaller than normal size.
Just a thought.

Yep, those are them. But the smaller Hammer Grip sacks we were told are no more. Maybe we'll have to bring in the puff balls instead.

The bigger one seems like a similar concept to the old style "power pad" which you rubbed on the ball and it released a powder that absorbed the oil better, could that be what they were thinking with this product?

I'd much rather have something to grab onto...not only does it dry my hand a little, but it relieves stress sometimes lol.

Both grip sacks are still readily available from us. It seems that you may be misinformed. Thanks!
