If so which one and at what speed did you start using one. My DD has started killing my thumb
lol I have a good catchers mitt, I just sometimes catch it wrong. The worst is when I catch it near the thumb, and the spin feels like it’s gonna twist it off. I can always tell when she’s throwing harder by how it feels.I’m going to have to ask you to turn in your man card for starting this thread (hope you’re a guy).
Buy yourself a single break heel All-Star fastpitch mitt and we’ll forget all about this here, nothing to see folks!
Yup I just ordered one, I’ll see if it helps or is just a pita.Not a bucket dad but a former bucket mom. I wound up getting the Evo Shield catcher’s thumb guard. Started using it probably DD’s sophomore year - she threw a screwball and even though I knew it was coming it caught me in the wrong spot and I saw stars. Couldn’t catch again for a few weeks after.
I broke that thumb years ago sliding into 3B and it tore the ligament at the same time. I think catching the ball wrong reaggravated it. Evo Shield definitely helped but I had a difficult time getting my mitt on while using it.
