Big Hand Shield — Oversized Contact Pad for High-Impact Blocking, Tackling & Collision-Control Drills

The Big Hand Shield is a larger, more robust version of a traditional hand shield, designed to handle heavier contact and provide athletes with an expanded strike surface. Built with extra-thick, high-density foam and reinforced handles, this oversized pad is perfect for linemen, linebackers, and any player working on powerful, controlled contact. The increased surface area makes it ideal for drills that demand strong hits, extended drive steps, and more aggressive contact simulations.

Big Hand Shields are used to:

Train full-power block strikes with a wider, safer target

Improve shoulder contact, leverage, and body alignment for tackling

Provide coaches with greater stability and resistance for high-intensity drills

Support heavy-impact hand-placement and punch technique work

Allow players to practice engaging, driving, and controlling an opponent-like surface

Importance for Player Safety

Big Hand Shields offer enhanced protection for both players and coaches:

Absorb larger impacts, reducing the physical stress from full-speed strikes

Lower injury risk by creating a safer alternative to direct player-to-player collisions

Promote safer mechanics, encouraging proper hip drive, head placement, and shoulder engagement

Protect hands, wrists, and upper body during repetitive striking drills

Create a controlled contact environment, ideal for developing athletes learning to manage force responsibly

The extra padding and reinforced structure help safely manage the higher power output expected from advanced players.

Example Drills

Power Strike & Drive-Out Drill – Players deliver strong hand or shoulder strikes to the oversized pad, then drive through with controlled, powerful steps.

Heavy Contact Fit Drill – Athletes fit up on the shield, focusing on staying square, engaging with proper pad level, and maintaining leverage.

Punch & Reset Drill – Linemen practice explosive hand punches into the larger target, then rapidly reset and strike again.

High-Resistance Block Shed Drill – A coach or teammate applies more force with the big shield, allowing defenders to work on shedding under realistic pressure.

Inside Run Collision Simulation – Players practice meeting the shield in tight-space situations, perfect for simulating contact in short-yardage scenarios.
