Prohitter Batters Training Aid

This little thing is fantastic. My son always had stinging in his hand when he hit the ball and he was afraid to hit. However, once we put this over his thumb, it lessened the sting tremendously. He has no issues taking a good swing now thanks to the ProHitter thumb guard.Make sure that you get the right size because some videos say that you should order a size smaller than what you actually are. For my son, we ordered youth size and it fit fine. He's also wearing gloves, so that likely makes a difference too.I highly recommend the ProHitter!

I saw the pros wearing this on tv .Vey comfortable when batting.

Works

Daughter approves! Size was true and stretchy rubber makes it an ease to put on and remove. It may seem "tight" out the package but quickly stretches out just slightly while remaining tight. Ordered two white ones as others suggested in case you lose one and white is easier to see. I found this to be true, looking for something this small and the inside of her bag is black, the white stands out a lot. It gets dirty and brown, haven't tried washing it and I'm not sure if it's worth it. She wears it every time she swings a bat. The material is stretchy enough that even I could put it on, I'm not a large male with big hands, just average. I wouldn't recommend ordering the wrong size on purpose but I was just curious to see what'd happen. It's rubber so I don't see any breakdown or signs of wear other than dirt."Getting used to" it happened within a dozen or so balls, according to my 10 year old. At first it seemed to affect her first few swings dramatically, adjusted the position slightly, and then just as suddenly the swing went back to "normal" shortly after. This was fresh start of BP so I always expect the first dozen or so balls is adjustments to timing and movements etc. It really does move the bat out of the palm which is often something I see/hear being taught but kids won't remember that kind of stuff at the plate so this aid is autocorrection on the spot. My girl says that she can tell the difference in the way the hands move with it on and off.Reducing sting is really good she says. She swings both a composite and an overweight wood bat at BP once in a while and hits both softballs and baseballs. I'm honestly not sure how good this is for reducing sting since I'm not wearing it and going off of her feedback. I will also say that the material is very well shaped to fit the contour of the inside area of the thumb.Funny enough when we opened the package and it fell out my daughter and I both laughed. She said it looked like a boiled egg with a hole in it and that was the exact same thing that went through my head. I would just say get 2 or 3 depending on how likely your kid or yourself forgets things, etc. It's small.

5 years going strong, I use pine tar and it's still holding up.

Quality material but not easy to use by smaller players. Not sized correctly. Would not recommend as necessary or helpful tool for baseball players

Perfect product! Exactly as described!
