My 10-year-old daughter has decided that she's going to work her butt off to get better at hitting the ball. She does half hour lessons twice a week and then we practice together a couple nights a week. She's developed blisters multiple times, especially during lessons, on the lower-inside of her right thumb and between her thumb and index finger on her left hand. She bats right handed. I realize that avoiding blisters entirely is impossible, outside of not playing. The issue is she gets frustrated that it takes a couple days for these to heal to the point where putting on liquid skin doesn't cause insane amounts of pain. I'm worried that, at 10, if she starts associating batting with pain she won't want to keep playing.
We have tried Nike batting gloves with no luck and she's now wearing Rip-IT Blister Control Softball Batting Gloves. My question is this...Are there any gloves that are known for doing a better job at preventing blisters between the thumb and index fingers and/or what else (if anything) can we be doing to prevent blisters as much as possible?
