Also has 360-degree no-tangle rotation assisted by ball bearings in the handles, which are padded with 6” of memory foam—like mattresses for your hands.

Who could remember all that in the middle of a football game? Next time you're playing your kids in two-hand touch, keep track of the plays like generations of losing Chicago Bears quarterbacks with one of these cheaters. Our QB helper is a 6-1/2” long elastic-cloth wristband with a 4-3/4” x 2-3/4” clear plastic window. You’ve seen them in big games.
