Launchpad Max Baseball & Softball Thumb Guard
$28.99
Launchpad Max Baseball & Softball Thumb Guard
A highly innovative, performance-driven piece of protective gear designed specifically to sit in the hands of elite hitters. Built to eliminate the awkward bulk of traditional, outdated thumb guards, the Launchpad Max has quickly become a clubhouse favorite—frequently used by Will from the Baseball Bat Bros during intense exit velocity testing to lock in grip comfort and combat severe handle vibration.
What sets the Launchpad Max apart is its patented, bat-shaped channel design. Unlike universal guards that require you to awkwardly alter your hands around the handle, this guard features a specialized curved pivot point that naturally cradles the bat, sliding it seamlessly into the fingers for optimized whip and maximum swing speed. When you catch a high-and-tight fastball off the handle, the built-in shock absorption compression holes instantly collapse to disperse the sting before it ever reaches your hands. If you are looking for an unobtrusive, professional-grade guard that keeps you confident against inside heat, the Launchpad Max is built to elevate your game.
-
Available in Right Handed Hitters & Left Handed Hitters
-
Elite Protection: Advanced compression holes absorb heavy vibration at the moment of impact, saving your hands from harsh bat sting.
-
Enhanced Swing Speed: Built with a specialized pivot point that preserves your natural wrist mechanics to increase bat whip through the zone.
-
Zero Bulk Design: Thin, ultra-firm ergonomic material wraps safely around the base of the thumb and index finger without distracting your grip.
-
Hand-Specific Fit: Available in dedicated right-hand and left-hand models to ensure a custom, locked-in feel every single inning.

Great Cooper Player
Pros: Hit 30 home runs this travel season W bat
Cons: None
Awesome bat Anthony Delgado Player
Pros: All pro’s
Cons: No con’s
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK Ken Parent
Pros: picked up this drop8 for a 12u PG tournament since many of the kids swung drop5s. The boys had a 4 HR weekend with a bat we got on closeout for $100!
Cons: Smaller sweet spot than some other bats.
Moving on up Parent
Pros: Nice balance to transition from drop 10. Taper grip easier for son to grip.
Cons: White grip tape!
CATX2 Composite I'm not sure Player
Pros: This bat is great. Tons of pop, great feel, and practically no vibration. The barrel is giant and the sound and design is amazing. Love this bat, highly recommend it.
Cons: None yet, altogether solid bat, although I would rate the durability 4.5/5 for some issues. Still incredibly good bat, although if you hit it with a lot of power should probably get an icon or hybrid or one piece.
Solid bat Baseball guy Parent
Pros: Broke an Icon and Hype so went with the CATX2 composite as marucci is known for their durability in the past. Solid bat all around. Matched top exit velo with Icon right out of the wrapper.
Cons: None this far.
Best bat we have tried TN ball dad Coach
Pros: My son is a solid base hitter, 11U. The 29/21 is his first transition to a drop 8. The feel and balance of this bat is by far the best bat he has used. We have tried them all. Miss hits are nearly non existent. He swings it better than his 29/19 Hype. Zero issues
Cons: zero issues, break in period was easy.
