Introducing the GRAPPZ Thumb and Wrist Brace for All Sports and Daily Activities.

Taping your thumb or wearing bulky, rigid thumb braces are a thing of the past!

Meet the new GRAPPZ Thumb Brace & Wrist Support, a reusable glove that brings flexible thumb support and an adjustable wrist strap together. This thumb and wrist brace for sports gives athletes a washable alternative to the daily taping routine.

The design connects your thumb to your index finger and adds support around the wrist. Before choosing your size, here is how it works and what to consider for the way you train.

How the GRAPPZ thumb brace glove works

The defining feature is the connected thumb-and-index sleeve design. The thumb sleeve joins the index sleeve to provide soft support, while the exposed thumb tip retains some movement. Your other three fingers remain separate.

Flexible compression fabric gives the glove its snug feel. The design focuses support around the thumb and wrist, making it a compact addition to your training gear.

Because the sleeves connect, the thumb and index finger cannot move completely independently. A grip that requires spreading them widely apart will feel different. Watch the application video to see how the glove fits before choosing your size.

Adjustable support around the wrist

A 2-inch Velcro wrist strap lets you adjust the fit around your wrist. The glove also includes a protective sleeve to cover the secured strap.

The strap lets you fine-tune the wrist fit after positioning the glove. With the thumb sleeve and wrist support in the same piece of equipment, you have one item to put on, care for, and pack for your next session.

A reusable alternative to thumb tape

If taping is already part of your routine, you know the preparation it involves. Every session starts with a fresh application, and the result depends on how you wrap it.

A reusable glove changes that routine. Once you have found your size and learned the application, getting ready means putting on the glove and securing the strap. After training, you can wash it, let it dry, and use it again.

That is an everyday benefit you can appreciate without a stopwatch or a spreadsheet. You have one less reason to search the bottom of your gym bag for a nearly empty tape roll.

Tape allows different wrapping patterns, while a glove gives you a defined design and fit. If your priority is reusable thumb support with an adjustable wrist strap, GRAPPZ brings those features together in a single glove.

Choosing thumb support for your sport or activity

A useful sports brace needs to suit the actual movements you perform. Start with your grip, then consider fit and any other equipment you wear.

BJJ wrestling and judo

Grappling involves a range of hand positions. A sleeve grip in Brazilian jiu-jitsu can feel very different from hand fighting in wrestling or gripping a lapel in judo.

For grapplers looking for a thumb brace for BJJ, wrestling, or judo, the appeal is straightforward: flexible support you can put on before practice and reuse throughout your training schedule. Watch the demonstration to see how the connected sleeves fit the grips you use most.

Basketball volleyball and football

Ball handling adds another consideration. Catching, passing, setting, and shooting each use the hand differently, so thumb support needs to be considered alongside the feel and movement you depend on.

Consider the hand positions you use most often when choosing your support. If you also wear sport-specific gloves, check compatibility before buying.

For organized competition, check the rules on protective equipment with your coach or event organizer.

Getting the right fit before your first session

Choosing the right size deserves as much attention as choosing the glove itself. Hand width, thumb shape, and personal preference all affect how support feels.

Start with Find Your Size on the thumb brace product page. Review its size chart and watch both the measurement and application videos. Use the guidance for this model rather than assuming your usual glove size will transfer directly.

When your glove arrives, put it on as demonstrated and check the position of the sleeves and strap before moving into your activity. A supportive fit should feel secure and comfortable. Extra tightness is not a goal on its own.

If you fall between sizes or are unsure how the design will fit your hand, email team@getgrappz.com before ordering. A quick sizing question can make choosing much easier.

Built from the GRAPPZ approach to athletic support

GRAPPZ began with a familiar concern for athletes: finding practical support for hands that work hard in training. Founder Jonathan Kowalsky brings his background as a collegiate wrestler and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt to the brand.

The thumb glove extends that focus to a different part of the hand, with the same emphasis on equipment that fits into an athlete's routine. As a small family business, we care about helping you choose a product that suits how you train.

Common questions about the thumb and wrist glove

Can I wear it on either hand

Yes. The thumb model is designed for either the left or right hand and is sold as one glove.

How do I care for it

Fasten the Velcro before washing. Follow the product care instructions, use cold or warm water, and let it air dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.

Will my thumb move the same way as usual

The connected sleeves limit independent movement between the thumb and index finger. The exposed thumb tip retains some movement. Review the application video to understand the fit before purchasing.

How is it different from the original GRAPPZ gloves

The original design connects neighboring fingers in pairs. This model connects the thumb to the index finger and adds the adjustable wrist strap. Choose according to where you want support and the movement your activity requires.
