Last night at batting practice, we had a girl get plunked on her hand. It didn't look bad but in the end it was broken. She's out 6 weeks.
So it got me trying to find some better gloves for young girls(10U). The Xprotex gloves look good, but though it says they make a girls small, I can't find one for) was wondering if there were any other brands that are small. Can't even find a boys small.
Thanks for any ideas.

Manufacturer : All Star
Product : "The Claw"

DD picked this up at the sports mega-plex for $10 on sale the other day.

I know they have small sizes and the quality can't be any worse than Xprotex....

I have a tiny set of xprotects that even a little girl that was 4'4" couldn't really use. I bought them back from her. I will look for them.

This was the worse injury DD has had happen to her during softball, thank goodness it was only a fracture.

Mentally it took her a little while to get over it, she was afraid of anything inside and was bailing. Took a lot of reps for her to start forgetting about it, still isn’t total out of her head.

I made my own.....I got a bigger glove than needed, and cut old flip flops ....turned glove inside out, and super glued the padding to the glove...turn it back, and get a thin womens silk glove to stick as a liner, not to losen padding taking it on and off... :{)
