Adding padding to a mitt?

[Comocoach]

Relacing her Mizuno Samurai. Can I add padding to the palm? Just a layer of felt? Would gluing it work?

Just buy a Vinci! No extra padding needed!

Stay away from felt or Poron XRD, makes a terrible palm pad! Instead lace in a new cut piece of leather, punch matching holes and lace it in with the heel and palm lace, then use some Glovesmith pocket grease to keep it flat.

This one has a season left in it. I'll probably get her a replacement this summer. Vinci is on the short list.

She really doesn't need more, has only mentioned her hand hurting a couple of times over the years. I just thought another layer couldn't hurt.

A little tounge in cheek. But there is no better padded mitt!

Grease between the new leather and the palm, right? Or on both sides of the new?

Both sides. Where are you located? There’s a couple of guys you could call to get some great information.

I'm in Missouri. I've relaced 6 or 7 gloves, and have everything i need (1/4", 3/16", some skived, needles, and palm grease, cleaner, and conditioner). I've watched a bunch of the experts youtube videos, and even gotten some advice on technique from them.

You sound good to go to me! Definitely go leather for an added palm pad.
