| May 20, 2016 oroblec 37 posts | Hey thanks diesel what brand name post some picture or intagram link. |
| May 20, 2016 rh25 Men's 70 29 posts | Mechanix original work gloves are better than batting gloves. They have a better grip and last way longer. You can even get them in different colors from their website. Most of the hardware stores just carry them in black. I use the overlap grip with my ring finger of my bottom hand around knob. When I used regular batting gloves the palm would always get holes very quickly. |
| May 20, 2016 oroblec 37 posts | Woww rh25 i never though that before but it sounds great i will order by amazon i will post some reviews later in my pratice day if anyone have another great solutions like rh25 can comment and share with us. rh25 thanks a lot to put something very diferent around the world of slowpitch. |
| May 20, 2016 DieselDan Men's 75 601 posts | Oroblec: I bought the three pack of "FG" work gloves for under $12. Three different colors. At the time they were on sale along those shelves they have set up with special priced items. As rh25 mentioned, Mechanix can also be found for a reasonable cost. |
| May 21, 2016 oroblec 37 posts | thanks dieseldan i have that on local store here in dominican republic today i will take a look rh25 ones i purchased by amazon for $15 thanks for your post. |
| May 21, 2016 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 489 posts | rh25 is correct. Mechanix make a lot of different versions and their least expensive ones are thinner and work great as batting gloves. Been using them for years. |
| May 21, 2016 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | Nitrile work gloves $5 per pair. Water resistant, I never need grip or pine tar. May not look as cool, but then again cool went out in my 30ies. Now it is about performance and price. |
| May 21, 2016 crusher Men's 75 524 posts | I started using MG golf gloves, they fit and feel good. You know U are wearing gloves while getting a complete feel of the bat. I am on their e-mail list so get these bargains on gloves like for $5.50 each plus flat shipping of less than $4 for as many gloves as you want.

| May 21, 2016 16wood Men's 65 77 posts | I used to buy the Rawlings batting gloves with the heel pads... they only lasted so long until the pad came apart. For the past few years I've used either UA off the rack gloves (Big 5, Sports Auth, Sports Chalet, etc.) or have ordered Boombah gloves. Neither have the heel pads and both last longer... go figure. I've bought $30 gloves and they didn't last any longer than the $15 pairs... nor did they 'perform' any better. I use the same gloves in bp as in games... when they wear out I get more. I like the Boombah gloves slightly better. Bob Woodroof |
| May 23, 2016 oroblec 37 posts | it's great to read all this new tips and people think on this before spending a lot of money on pratice when we can use cheap method and more confortable it's not the style is just that u can pratice as much as you want withouth breaking ur hands thanks all of your for ur post take case and see u in the field if someone uses instagram and want to share picture and video we can add so u can see my bats and some training and balls that i use for training. |
| May 23, 2016 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | I want to stress my practice gloves are different from my game gloves only in the fact, I use a new pair for games. BlueHawk Nitrile, only trouble is finding them in extra large. |
| May 23, 2016 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I agree with nitrile work gloves, especially for cooler games/bp sessions. I have to put up with the usual remarks, ("you working in the garden after the game?") but that's ok. |
| May 23, 2016 Dqmtv Men's 60 9 posts | Look at libra safety products on web for work gloves, less $ and longer lasting |
| Aug. 8, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | You guys have hit on a tough subject sometimes. I hit hundreds of balls every week and was going through a pair of gloves about every 3 weeks so I looked to find something more durable. "Work" style gloves didn't feel good at all to me as they are too thick and I couldn't get used to the feel of the bat so.....I sourced my own for Team 1 Sports. My gloves fit well , are true to size, and are extremely durable. I can now get multiple thousands of swings on a great pair of gloves and can wear the same thing in games or Bp. If you guys have questions about them feel free to get in touch with me. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Tricoach18@att.net |
