Brunswick Thumb Sock

Love these thumb socks. I have eczema on the palms of my hands and in the web of my thumb so that my skin tears easily with ball release, but these have solved that. Takes a little getting used to. Fits well on my large thumb. The only negative is that I lose them easily so have to buy more, but wouldn't be without them.

I usually wear tape on my thumb to protect it from giving me a blister but the downside is that if my thumb gets sweaty then my thumb will get stuck. So this sleeve did the trick that I can slide it over the tape and the ball will slide out. So this is exactly what I was looking for. It does not slide off your thumb at all when releasing.

The media could not be loaded. Very comfortable fit, easy to put on and take off. 2nd one I have purchased and 1st one lasted 3yrs. Very durable. Will buy again.

Horrible, came off thumb and went down the gutter

It should’ve been a little thicker and a lot snugger on your thumb

I have found these helpful in thumb release. They have eliminated the need for baby powder and release tapes on the back of my thumb. My delivery has changer from a tweener to a cranker with their help. When I first used the socks, the ball dropped off my hand during delivery and shoot off into the gutter. I learned to grip the ball tightly with my fingers to hold the ball and increase ball rotation. Plus keeping my thumb aligned toward the right gutter (I'm a right handed) enabled me to increase the ball rotation at release.Ultimately, I probably need to get a new ball, drilled with the proper pitch, angle, distance to fingers. But, a pro shop with that kind of expertise is hard to find.You should keep the thumb socks away from Velcro because Velcro tears up the socks.The socks are pretty durable. But you need to wash them with a drop of dish soap every couple of weeks to get rid of the ally grim and oil. They dry quickly.I recommend anyone who needs a good thumb release to try the thumb socks.

Exactly what I needed!

Well I don't know what to think I never owned one of these before but I though anything to save my thumb from throbbing at the end of a few games is worth a try.It came in, it was a little snug, seemed to work good, was on the ninth frame of my 1st game and it already had a hole in it. So I email the site about it and they said depending on the player you can get less then a game or several games out of it. To me it sounds like a cheap product or at least something they should inform you about before you buy it. But it does work so I gave it 2 stars.
