GET THE PROTECTION FROM OUR REGULAR INNER GLOVE: PLUS A LITTLE XTRAHelps prevent bone bruises and damage to soft tissue Lessens the sting and discomfort of impact Helps retain ball in glove- less rebound Decreases the fear for the younger player Especially protective during cold weather Features additional padding on the middle finger and thumb!!The Protective Inner Glove is a protective glove specifically designed and patented for use inside baseball and softball fielding mitts. PALMGARD provides the needed protection for the critical areas of the catching hand of a ballplayer without sacrificing the player’s level of proficiency. The essential feature of the design is the shock-absorbing cushions covering the critical areas of the index finger and upper palm. The cushion consists of a non-springy material that is slow to return to its original contour and therefore reduces the rebound effect and helps retain the ball in the glove.LEFT HAND ONLY
