My son broke his throwing hand thumb. Will this allow enough movement to throw a baseball and still provide protection to the thumb? Thanks

Hi, If it is the lower joint..I would say yes...If the upper knuckle, not sure..either way, it will give your son relief when he is not playing ball. you don't say how old he is..When I measure my hand I measure for a medium. some on on here said if it is for the lower joint, go a smaller size down. so I did, I wear this brace, If its for the upper joint, then I would get the size he measures for. I really forget I have it on. and do everything I want, except putting hands in water, and almost have done that, since I forgot it was on. it truly is worth the money. At least for me it was..Good luck...

My son stated; it would enough movement to throw a baseball. He actually broke his Glove Thumb. Hope this helps.

I don'y know that a portable baseball hoop will work depending on how old your child is. If they are young and won't be hitting it hard it might. An older shild will hit it too hard for that. We had to sink a fence pole into the ground to keep it from moving all around. My son really benefited from it though! Good luck!

Yes. Definitely adds a layer of protection. I let my children try woodcarving using one on their non-dominant/holding hand. So far, so good. Don't be over-confident, but these should really help.

I believe so. I have short fingers and the glove fingertip openings are below the top knuckle. Plenty of freedom!

It could be used for both. I personally don't recommend it, I would go with an Evo Shield. It is more expensive but worth the money. I only used this elbow guard for 2 games.

I use it for pole fitness to give me a better grip for pole moves... The grip gloves I were using still allowed my hands to slip inside the gloves themselves. If football receivers need to "stick" to the ball, then Yes I feel that this would work.

Yes.. but the top is also very lightweight. I don't think it would break a finger. A kid could definitely push it closed.

No, it really won't work for that, has to fit one piece around fingers and thumb through other piece. The finger guard is not small enough for a 14 month old, but worked well for my second daughter. Will cover two fingers, but it could be any two.

My son plays catcher for his travel baseball team. And he wears the shield under his catchers gear and has no problem throwing the ball or throwing someone out at second. Range of movement is not restricted even under his catchers chest protector. It fits so well he wears it hours after the game, and I have seen him shot basket ball with it on too. So it shouldn't be a problem.

The knuckles are actually covered somewhat by rubber, which will protect the hands some, and it won't easily break. That said, this glove is not made for punching, so, I wouldn't recommend doing the punching repeatedly as in training with a punching bag wearing these.

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

This brace has a hard material along the outside of the thumb, which might protect you from pain. However, depending on the type of injury you have, the hard material might also cause pain if bumped. I suggest that you buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, return it. I believe if you say the reason for return is that the product does not work, your return shipping is free. You might check that with Amazon first.

The palm of the glove has padding on it that should be thick enough to protect from rose bush thorns. The back side of the hand only has padding on the knuckle area so he would not be completely protected on the backs of his hands.

Mine come to the first knuckle behind the finger nail. But I have long fingers. You might be able to push the finger sleeves up while playing. The material isn't bulky. Hope this helps.

Not at all. The grip has a sticky backing that is covered with a waxy type paper. Peel off the paper and roll it around the bat. The grip is thin, so if you use a thicker type of grip I would suggest you test wrap to see how much overlay you want to make it thicker or thinner before you take off the backing.

It should work on the top portion but it is designed for baseball or softball. You might want to look around for something more tennis specific before investing the money on this item...unless your child is also into wanting to use this for baseball and tennis. I think the effectiveness for tennis could be a disappointment.

Yes, it should. I wear them on 2 fingers and they work well. The thumb, I did buy one for thumb but it was too large and I sent it back. I can't imagine why the one for the thumb wouldn't work as well as the ones for finger.
