Used at all levels
Most thumb guards make you choose between protection and performance. Launchpad gives you both.
Traditional guards pad your thumb, but they do it by adding bulk that kills your bat feel.
Launchpad was engineered from the ground up to solve that problem. Our patented bat-shaped channel cradles the bat, enhancing control and providing wraparound protection.
Launchpad MAX is best for:
- High school players through professional level
- Wood bats and thicker bat grips
- Hitters who prefer the bat sit further out in the fingers
Why It Works:
🔒 Bat-Shaped Channel Conforms to the shape of the handle so the bat sits exactly where you want it in your grip. Wraparound protection that other guards just can't offer.
⚡ Pivot Point Technology A built-in pivot point that preserves your natural swing mechanics and helps maximize whip.
🛡️ Thin, Firm Construction Enough protection to absorb a 95-mph jam shot. Slim enough that you'll forget it's there between pitches.
Made in the USA 🇺🇸 Every Launchpad is designed and manufactured in the United States.
I’m a 55-year-old men’s-league baseball player and a Navy veteran, not the typical high-school, college, or youth player these products often target. Recurrent irritation and inflammation around my hamate can make hitting painful, particularly while working on the proper palm-up, palm-down position through contact.
The Launch Pad thumb guard has made a real difference. It reduces the uncomfortable pressure in my hand, helps me swing with less pain, and reinforces better wrist and hand positioning instead of allowing me to fall into compensatory mechanics. That lets me concentrate on the pitch and my swing rather than anticipating pain.
It is a small piece of equipment, but it has become an important part of keeping me active and competitive in baseball. The company has also been excellent to work with and genuinely supportive of its customers. I highly recommend it, particularly to older players dealing with hand discomfort who still want to play and train seriously.
My son loves this brand and design.
Great product, helps with swing… especially with heavier bat
