Another thumps up for Spiders. DD has had a pair for a year, and loves them. Despite a few small holes she doesn't want to part with them.

My dd always wore these:

BB had one pair left that had been worn for maybe a game or two and I passed them on to one of my hitting students. She loves them.

The palm guards last really well. They also tend to fit well once you get the right size figured out. Very good product. Older dd always wore them.

They are a little thicker, some say don’t care for the “lack of feel”. I personally believe dd#2 doesn’t like “the feel” because you can’t get them in white. All she wants to wear on her hands and feet are white gloves, white Ringors, white Vans, white Nike’s, white Converse All Stars.... I have let her get away with the glove thing since she works hard and I want her to feel like she has control over it. But she should be wearing Palm Guard gloves.

My dd wore these all the way through HS and wanted to wear them in college. As you know, they play in February in college and so, she wanted the hand protection they offer. However, her university had a rule that all the players had to wear the sponsored batting gloves. At first I was not happy but they got them for free and so, that eased my pain some. LOL

Same here! DD wore hers in practice until they gave up the ghost, then she resigned herself to the team gloves.

I have had a lot of luck with Lizard Skins Komodo Pro for my DD. The only issue is that I have the order them from their website. Not at local stores or Amazon. She used to shred the Under Armor gloves in one tournament.

Try Motorcross gloves - more durable and come in lots of cool colors and designs.

Truth right here!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am rough on gloves because I use 3M adhesive spray when I hit...and Motocross gloves are the sh!t. Durable as all heck, tons of colors, and CHEAP when
you buy on discount (most sites have a ton of discount gloves). Now, they do run a tad thicker than most batting gloves. The only reason I have
thrown a pair away (except JT gloves...sucked), is because of the build up of adhesive over the months.

You can get a great pair of Moto gloves for 10-20 bucks. I like Fox, Moose, O'Neal, Thor, Fly and Shift. Have NOT liked JT (worst pairs I have owned) or Answer.

I bought our team some custom Spiderz. Love the look and they have been extremely durable. Even got the girls jersey #'s on the gloves. Wayne is great to work with @ Spiderz

My DD like to have her fingers exposed (fingerless glove). I usually buy regular batting glove and just cut the tips up to the first knuckle. Anyone know of if anyone sells finger batting glove.
