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 Built to eliminate the awkward bulk of traditional, outdated thumb guards, the Launchpad Max has quickly become a clubhouse favorite—frequently used by Will from the Baseball Bat Bros during intense exit velocity testing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.

About the Brand
Launched by Baden Sports in 2011, the Axe line of bats was hailed as a breakthrough in bat technology by players and coaches from youth leagues to the Pros. The makers of the Axe line of bats often pose the question, "What does your traditional knob do for you?" Most players don't have a good answer. Axe engineers have created a handle that is not only more comfortable and safer in terms of hand injuries, but also helps improve the hitter's swing by keeping them on an even plane. Although Axe is new to the market, they are backed by Baden Sports, Inc., an independent, family-owned company that has been making baseball products since 1979. Their passion to create a better game is unparalleled, making it no surprise that the Axe handle is set to be baseball's next big thing.
