Five Launchpad guards — three right-hand, two left-hand — in black and white. Built for the coach who wants to put Launchpad in a cage and let their hitters decide.

Every guard carries the patented bat-shaped channel that cradles the bat, enhancing control and providing wraparound protection without adding bulk or slowing the swing. In collegiate lab testing, Launchpad cut peak transmitted force by 51%.

My son loves it!

My son's favorite player is Junior Caminero so of course he wanted this. Bought it and he loves how it helps his swing.

A Big Help for an Older Men’s-League PlayerI’m a 55-year-old men’s-league baseball player and a

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.

Protection without bulk

The Launchpad Thumb Guard has been a game changer. It provides great protection without feeling bulky or restricting. It’s comfortable and gives me the confidence to swing aggressively without worrying about thumb injuries.

My son has went through all the different hitting thumb devices. This one is his favorite!

Great product, helps with swing… especially with heavier bat

Robert J.

Not sure why but it’s completely changed my swing in slow pitch of all things! So much so I have one in all my bags (seniors, league, tourney) 5 of them to be exact because I can’t take any chances not hitting without it

My son loves it

Terrance G.

I started with one and now I own 3. I’m a slow pitch player and it has for some reason leveled my swing and that’s created better contact

Great Product Feels Natural in the hands not super thick like the other guards out there very comfortable keeps you from over gripping the bat with your top hand

Ruben S.

I just used it to hit in the cage, and the second I put it on it was 10x more helpful with bat speed, it also was a confidence booster and it helped me find my swing again.
