on the results of using this "better mouse trap"?

looks like fun if you're limited to space to throw and play catch (like in the living room when the boss is gone and it's 120 degrees outside)

i suppose i can make one out of an old neoprene knee pad and get the golf whiffle balls.....

i guess it's like trying to catch a BB in one of those made in mexico miniature leather baseball gloves that you hang on a key chain

that's the upscale version of my duct tape two-finger glove

I bought a set of these so I could improve my grandson's catching skills. When you first try these, for about the first 5-10 minutes, you can't catch anything, and it's extremely frustrating. All of a sudden, you start getting the hang of it and then it's really a lot of fun. My grandson and I laughed so hard while we were doing this, and we couldn't believe the catches that we were both making. Then we switched back to our regular baseball gloves and a hardball and it felt like we were throwing a basketball and catching with a trash can. What a weird feeling making the adjustment from the small ball and web glove to the conventional ball and glove. I think that this is an absolutely great learning tool for baseball players. It really helps to improve eye/hand coordination. My grandson and I still use this from time to time before playing catch, and we have a great time together doing it. It's a great way to spend quality time with my grandson, and it helps him improve his skills at the same time. A classic win-win situation.

These are advertised on eBay fairly often and they are not at all expensive.
