I am a first basemen for a baseball team and need it for my catching shoulder, would it restrain my range of motion to reach throws above my head?

I used mine for golfing during the initial period after rehab. I personally found it to be comfortable and did not think that there was a restriction. I do not see it as a hindrance to yourself either. Just my opinion though. Dennis

I don't use mine as much as I should, but when I do use it I don't notice any limitations. But with that being said, I have never used it in an athletic situation (Plus you can always return it if you find it does limit you)

It would be tough to get it over/under a hardhat. The band barely gets big enough to go over my baseball cap. But other than that, I haven't had any problems with it as far as taking different positions with it. Seems to work fantastic so far. I've had it since May.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve with it. It does not offer support to the wrist joint itself but does keep you from bending your wrist down very far. I am not sure if that would interfere with your game or help it.

If you shoulder is unstable like mine was, i'd say no. But if your shoulder is subjet to an injury i'd say yes if this support important to your movement.

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.

I guess you could to a point. Depending on how fast you pitch that ball in it would come flying back out. I would say more useful in throwing and catching at different angles to improve hand, eye, ball coordination. If someone is closer to catch the ball to assist instead of the pitcher that would be best.

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

I think you would be better off getting advise from a medical professional. But, that said I don't think this really stabilizes, it's more for posture correction. It pulls the shoulder back and down and restricts forward movement. I found out I have arthritis and it was not comfortable for me to wear while doing things around the the house. Seems like it would make it more difficult to use a bow.

No, its not meant for that. It would be extremely dangerous to hit into it as it would come back at a high rate of speed, not to mention you would have to be awfully good to hit it consistently from a distance. Its for pitchimg and fielding, not for hitting. Hope that helps.

Yes ,, it needs to be coming pretty straight at you and at not much of an angle or distance.On the field behind the catcher is more accurate than behind the backstop,unless the backstop is fairly close.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

Do you need shin guards? Baseball catcher equipment? Or is there some other technique to learn?

No, this net does not have less give than the soft toss net. It still has some give so you do not want to be directly behind it when throwing pitches. I recommend standing at least another foot away.

It would depend on the shape you are in and your goal. I just had shoulder surgery and do oscillations of about 5" for 60 seconds.

You can easily move it to throw any direction. Easily adjust to throw higher or lower also.

I am an average size/condition female, and I have had no difficulty lifting and carrying it as needed. Catcher should be disconnected first so it's not awkward.

The description show the way, left or right hand throw, other description show right or left hand catchIn your case you need left hand throw or right hand catch...I throw with the right hand and catch with the left hand, I bought, "Wilson A360 Series Slow Pitch Glove (13-Inch, Right-Handed Throw)" good luck
