im a catcher and i dont really have wrist problems, but will it give support to getting hit with pitches on the lower underside of the forearm?

Good question. As a former catcher I can say that it will give you support for your catching hand for all of that constant pounding. I think it will provide some support for your throwing arm but you might find it restricting in how flexible your hand/wrist will be when grabbing for the ball say on a bunt attempt. But it will not protect you from getting hit. It doesn't have that type of cushioning protection.

No, there's no hard plastic support to protect from pitches, but I've found it very helpful in relieving wrist fatigue while playing baseball and bowling.

... it is really confortable to use this item and will provide you support on lower underside of the forearm... just consider that is not a "protection" item... if you are looking some padding proteccion on this you will be disappointed...

Yes, it will protect You but The other model gives You more protection against The ball with The molding shield theta comes with it, You just have to turn it around your forearm and it will works perfectly

Boy, that's a good one! I find when I really concentrate on keeping my wrist straight, I do better. It helps me to think about how I would throw a soft ball underhanded, and don't forget to follow through.

It has a soft splint, like a hard foam. It will protect you from twisting and spraining your wrist but is not strong enough to prevent collision damage like the hard shell on the palm

I don't think it will help you.... because it's really designed to help divert pressure off of certain ligaments in your wrist that cause carpal tunnel. .. it definitely works for that purpose. So unless you are having wrist pain, this probably not the product for you.

I use it to hit softballs at cages and it works fine. Thick grip and weight might make it awkward to hit fielding practice.

If you want to hit for fielding practice, get a cheap metal bat and tape foam around the grip, or just get a fungo. Based on the material, I highly doubt it has enough pop for fielding practice.

Yeah they support your wrist but still allow for hand movement which would be important for shot put.

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

No not really. It is a thin nylon sleeve used for compression or like to prevent dirt/burn marks when sliding while playing baseball.

Wristbands will help the batter to a defensive position, but has no effect on Do not buy arm sleeve

It is suitable for supporting your wrist. My friend had 2 operations on both her hands for carpet tunnel.She wore these supports at night and during the day while recovering from the operations. I wear them to ease the tingling from the ulna nerve. Hope this answered part of your question.

It might,if you help him adjust it,,,,,,,But you still might need more ice packs to go further down the arm.For pitchers you should be icing it all the way down the arm.Including elbow.

I do not see it affecting your throwing one bit. If anything would probably help causebitbdoes govebsome added support. But without limiting your hand like those wrist braces you get from the doctor.... I'm sure you can use these and still throw a ball fine. I see in baseball done pitchers have a similar thing on their wrists.

If you really have sensitive wrists, you could give a chance to the gloves, otherwise I don't think you will have any issues with it. I don't find it hard on the hands/wrists whatsoever.

Since I do not have a gel wrist support, I simply don't know. Plus what works for one person's "condition" might not work for another.

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

It will not do away with the discomfort but it will make it less painful for you to do the poses that require pressure and swinging over the wrists like downward dog, chaturanga, and backward bends. I had a similar problem and they were a tremendous help.
