“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."
"I love Launchpad. 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, and it allows my top hand to have the most direct path to the ball."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
