About us

We built Shadowz grips to help protect your hands and maximize performance.

Our story

You deserve equipment designed to keep up with your active lifestyle.

After countless trials with a variety of athletic tapes, we create a specialized design to fit our lifestyle. As two active guys from the University of Connecticut, we needed something to help protect our hands across a number of sports and activities.

Initially build for weightlifting, we quickly found these grips could be beneficial when fishing, golfing, tennis and more, to not only protect our hands from cuts or blisters, but also provide additional grip to outperform competitors.
