Do these reduce the shock from the bat?

It was a lot better than just using bare hands. But as far as shock absorption, I would recommend Under Armour batting gloves. They're the best I've ever used.

The Mizuno Vintage Pro G4 definitely takes the "sting" off a batted ball especially when you don't catch it on the sweet spot.

Almost any isolation from the bat will reduce vibration/shock(felt in the hands), be it a glove or a grip

There isn't. And as to the shock absorption I would honestly say not at all, since the importance of the poles themselves can vary it's just one more thing that can be helpful. I have never owned a pair with em however so I can't tell you how much they help.

If you mean spring tensioned to absorb shock, no, they do not. Once locked to length, the pole is rigid. However, the rubber tip used for asphalt walking that is included does absorb some shock by design as it's a soft rubber with multiple nubs on it.

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

Yes they require mechanical reduction. I really enjoy them. Enable amplification for conversation when range is cold or cease fire. Disable when firing continues.

The noise reduction works fairly well, I'd say you hear 50% less noise if you put them on.

Yes. They work fine. Need to put a little extra air in shocks if you use the lowest setting.

I use a wood bat with pitching up to mid-low 80s and haven't had a stinger yet. However in cages with Iron Mike machine I will get them... I have never had a glove that completely eliminates stingers, but I would imagine it would be too thick with padding thus losing grip and feel.

Don't Know. My girls don't use them for hitting machines that's what wears them out. We have had 2 CF5's and they love them. Funny how the other comment said did not like the cf6. We bumped her up one inch and one ounce and the cf6 has not performed as well. Very popular bats

They don't come already on the shock, you can put them on or run without them

I wear them with a hardhat and just let them stick out the back. I give the the same quarter turn twist that the instructions call for and do not find any drop in sound protection. The company actually sells a clip that will attach them to the back of a cap style hardhat to stop them from flapping on your neck. So, they are obviously approved for that http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/work-wear-and-gear/product-watch--sensgard-s-hardhat-adaptor-clips.aspxBut, I do not use one as I wear a wrap around brim

It is a proven fact that these do work. You guys just dont open your mind to the effects. The Phoenix Suns Trainers did an actual test as well as the people at sports science on ESPN and it does have a noticable effect on the players balance and flexability. The suns players swear by them

They are thin enough to wear when swinging a bat. I'm not so sure of the benefits since I'm not a trainer or ball player.

Hi,I wore a pair once when playing slow pitch, and very restricted, due to the stabilisers. Affected my infielding too.hope this helps.

These compression sleeves will provide about as much protection as a pair of thick knee socks. I have not noticed any improvements in my agility due to the compression sleeves, though they do reduce to some degree the fatigue of standing or sitting for a long time.

Nope, not anti shock. But, unless that's a perquisite, for the money these are very good poles. Hope this helps.

No, it does not. The padding of the saddle effectively dampens the shock of most smaller bumps, however some shock is absorbed with larger bumps.
