1. A method of holding a sport equipment with two hands using a wearable device that allows a user to quickly decouple one or both hands to release the sport equipment during a sporting game, the method comprising:
securing a first hand in a first hand securement of the wearable device, the wearable device having an elongate grip portion extending from the first hand securement, wherein the elongate grip portion comprises:
a first end coupled to the first hand securement, the first end having a connecting edge;
a second end opposite the first end, wherein the second end is a free end;
placing the first hand around a sport equipment;
placing a second hand around the sport equipment and the elongate grip portion of the wearable device between the first end and the second end of the elongate grip portion at a same time such that the second hand restrains movement of the first hand relative to the second hand using only a grip of the second hand around the sport equipment;
contacting or attempting to contact an object by swinging the sport equipment such that the first hand and the second hand move together through a completion of the swing, and the user can freely remove the second hand from both the sport equipment and the elongate grip portion while the first hand is still secured to the wearable device by releasing the grip of the second hand around the sport equipment and the elongate grip portion.
