Thoughts from the field:

There are lots of reasons to love Launchpad. See the benefits here.

I haven't ever really used a thumb guard before but I like Launchpad a lot. I've tried some other ones but I like the way it goes into your hand because it doesn't really feel like it's there.

Launchpad's the first thumb guard I've worn. It molds to my hand nicely - feels like I'm swinging with nothing on. I feel comfortable in the box with it.

I really like it. It's got a firm grip around the bat. I've never felt that before because the Pro Hitter is kind of loose in my hand.

Pro baseball player uses baseball thumb guard to enhance grip and swing control, protect his hand, and increase bat speed

I love Launchpad because of its unique features. It's the only thumb guard that allows the bat to slot perfectly into your hand while still offering padding and protection from getting jammed. Launchpad also allows my top hand to have the most direct path to the ball.

Pro hitter uses baseball thumb guard to improve bat control

I use it every day! I've tried other thumb guards and the others weren't as comfortable as this one, which I'm thankful for!

It's the best thumb guard I've ever put on. The slick design makes sure I don't have to readjust it after every swing, and the fit feels tailored specifically for me. I would recommend Launchpad to every single hitter.

Launchpad Max Pro Baseball Thumb Guard

I play a lot of games in colder climates, and using the Launchpad protects my thumb when I’m at the plate. I’ve tried many different thumb guards and nothing has worked like launchpad. I’d recommend this to all players at all levels of baseball!

<h2>Thoughts from the field:</h2>

I honestly love it. The biggest thing is I feel like it's not a distraction. With the bulkier stuff like ProHitter or ThumbPro, I always feel distracted by trying to get it in the right spot. But with this, it's always in the right spot.

I’ve been using Launchpad for about a year now and I love it! I like how thin it is unlike other products, but it’s also very protective. I literally can’t step foot into a batters box without wearing it now.
