I rested it for three weeks. Then I picked up my needles and lasted nine minutes. This is the first thing that held while I was knitting, not after. I finished the cardigan that sat in the basket since November.

Benefits
- You can still turn through impactA rigid wrist brace locks your wrist down, so it's harder to turn through the ball. This holds the joint and leaves your wrist free, so you can still finish your swing.
- Your fingertips stay free to feel the gripNothing covers the pads of your fingers. You still feel the club and the release through impact. Most gear covers the whole hand, which is why golfers take it off.
- Built for the same grip, swing after swingMost thumb supports were made for a sports injury or recovery after surgery, when the hand is resting. This one was made for a hand with eighteen holes left to play.
- Fits under your regular golf gloveIt is soft and thin. Nobody on the course notices it, and it doesn't change how your glove fits.
- You get a pairOne left, one right, in every order. Wear one or wear both.

Finding your size
It takes a minute, and you only measure once.
1. Measure. Wrap a soft tape measure around your palm at its widest point, just below the knuckles, with your thumb relaxed out to the side. No tape measure? A strip of paper or a piece of string works just as well. Wrap it around, mark where it meets, then hold it against a ruler.
Measure your dominant hand, or whichever one is wider. Each order includes a left and a right, so one size covers the pair.
2. Read. Keep it snug but not tight, and note the measurement.
3. Match. Find your number below.
| Small | 7 to 7.5 inches (18 to 19 cm) |
|---|---|
| Medium | 7.5 to 8.5 inches (19 to 21.5 cm) |
| Large | 8.5 to 9 inches (21.5 to 23 cm) |
On the border between two sizes? Take the smaller one. A snug fit at the base of the thumb gives the best support, and the fabric gives a little as it settles in.

Is thumb pain ruining your round?
The Thumb Stabilizer holds steady for over 11,000 golfers and other people who were told to use their hands less.
Morning stiffness
The first squeeze of the day is always the worst one. The joint has to shift and swell before it settles into anything close to normal.
A joint that won't hold still
The ligaments at the base of your thumb have stretched out. Every squeeze lets the joint shift a little further than it should.
Swelling after a full day
Your body swells the joint to protect it. That swelling is why the next squeeze hurts more than the last one did.
Hold the joint. Keep playing.
Not a rigid brace. Not a bigger glove. One firm pad, over the one joint that gives out.
Stops the click
Holds the one joint steady, without locking your whole thumb the way a rigid splint does.
Eases in 2 to 3 weeks
Most people feel it ease over the first two to three weeks of wearing it while they work, not while they rest.
Built to last the day
Made for hours of repeated small movements, not for resting an injury for one afternoon.
Expert recommended
Recommended by professionals in hand and joint care, not just by the customers wearing it.

I garden four days a week and my thumb was done by lunch. This fits under my glove. Nobody notices it and I have not had to stop early since.
Denise K.
I play in a covers band on weekends. My fretting thumb gave out after twenty minutes. This is the first support that lets me barre a chord. Not rigid, not bulky, and the joint stays put.
Doris K.
I used to shake my hand out between every hole by the back nine. Last Tuesday I played all eighteen holes and did not set my club down once.
Susan T.
My orthopedist gave me six minutes and told me to find a different hobby. He never asked how I hold my needles. I wear this every evening now and I have not canceled one.
Ellen B.
I play three matches most Saturdays in the summer heat, and I sweat through everything. This stayed put through all three and my hand felt normal walking to the car.
Barbara H.
I had a padded steering wheel cover and driving gloves before this, and neither one stopped the click when I turned into a spot. This did, the first week I wore it. I parallel parked in one try last Tuesday.

My daughter bought me a compression glove last Christmas and I never told her it did not help. This one does. I picked my granddaughter up off the floor last week without thinking about my hand first.
Eleanor P.
My hand used to give out halfway through anything with octaves. Last week I played the whole piece without shaking my hand out once. My piano group noticed before I said a word.
Nancy F.
I wrung out a dishcloth without stopping for the first time in two years. My husband noticed before I said anything.
Questions golfers ask first.
Will it fit under my golf glove, or do I have to choose one or the other?
This is the first thing most golfers ask, and it's the right question. It's soft and thin enough to wear under a regular golf glove. You still get the grip and feel from your glove, and the joint support underneath.
I've already tried a rigid wrist brace and a bigger glove. How is this different?
A wrist brace locks the joint above the one that's actually sliding. A bigger glove just gives your hand more room, it doesn't hold anything steady. This sits right over the base of your thumb and holds that one joint in place while you swing.
Will it change my grip or my swing feel?
No. It's soft and thin, not rigid, so it moves with your hand instead of locking it. You'll still feel the club in your fingers and set your grip the same way.
How long before I can play a full round without my hand giving out?
Some golfers notice the joint feels steadier the first round they wear it. For most, the ache from playing a full 18 eases over the first two to three weeks of wearing it regularly.
What if I order the wrong size?
