T.R.U. Ball Max Pro Plus Black — Four-Finger Thumb Trigger Handle Release
The T.R.U. Ball Max Pro Plus is a four-finger handheld thumb trigger release built for hunters and target archers who want to step up from a wrist strap without stepping into a complex, high-maintenance setup. It features T.R.U. Ball's fully independent Standard Caliper Jaws, a 360° rotating head, and a direct-connection knurled thumb barrel — all the precision of a premium handle release, dialed in for real-world shooting. The built-in lanyard keeps your release secured at full draw and through the shot cycle so you never have to think about it. If you've been looking for the right entry point into the world of handle releases, the Max Pro Plus is exactly that.
Key Features of the T.R.U. Ball Max Pro Plus
Fully Independent Standard Caliper Jaws
Pull the trigger to open, let up to close. T.R.U. Ball's fully independent jaw design means the jaws load silently and release the D-loop smoothly and evenly with zero jaw interference. Each side operates independently to minimize torque at the shot — the result is cleaner arrow flight and more consistent release execution. Every set of jaws is professionally tested at the factory before packaging.
360° Rotating Head
The head rotates freely to automatically align to the optimal position at full draw, regardless of your shooting form or anchor. Less torque on the string means a cleaner break and better arrow flight — and you don't have to think about it. The rotation handles the alignment for you.
Direct Connection Knurled Thumb Barrel
The knurled thumb barrel mounts directly to the trigger for a solid, secure feel with no play. It also offers 45° of rotational adjustment so you can dial in the barrel position to exactly where your thumb naturally sits — a small adjustment that makes a big difference in consistency over a full season.
Travel Adjustment Screw
A single adjustment screw lets you set exactly how far the trigger must travel before the release fires. Whether you prefer a short, crisp break or a longer pull, you have full control over the feel of your shot without needing specialized tools or a bow press.
Built-In Lanyard
The Max Pro Plus ships with a built-in lanyard that slips comfortably around your wrist. It keeps the release secured during the draw cycle and prevents you from dropping it — particularly useful in a treestand. It's a simple addition that solves a real hunting problem.

Frequently Asked Questions — T.R.U. Ball Max Pro Plus
Is the Max Pro Plus a thumb trigger or an index finger release?
It's a thumb trigger. You fire the release by pressing the knurled thumb barrel, not by curling your index finger. This is a key difference from wrist strap index releases — it allows a more relaxed hand position and reduces punch and target panic over time.
How many fingers does it hold?
The Max Pro Plus is a four-finger handle release. All four fingers wrap around the handle for a secure, consistent grip every shot.
What's the difference between the Max Pro Plus and the standard Max Pro?
The Max Pro Plus adds a built-in wrist lanyard over the standard model. The lanyard keeps the release from falling away from your hand during the shot cycle — particularly useful for hunting situations where you can't afford to fumble.
Can I adjust the thumb barrel position?
Yes. The knurled thumb barrel offers 45° of rotational adjustment so you can fine-tune exactly where the barrel sits relative to your thumb for maximum comfort and consistency.
What sizes does the Max Pro Plus come in?
The Max Pro Plus is available as a standard adult size. If you need sizing guidance, give us a call at Extreme Outfitters and we'll help you find the right fit.
Is this release good for bowhunting?
Yes. The built-in lanyard, simple thumb trigger design, and fully independent caliper jaws make the Max Pro Plus a practical, reliable hunting release. The lanyard keeps it secure in the stand, and the single travel adjustment screw lets you dial in the trigger feel before the season starts.
Does it come in left hand?
The Max Pro Plus is an ambidextrous handle release — it works for both right- and left-hand shooters.
