Does Your Batting Gloves Really Support Your Game?
Let’s face it…
You’re mid-swing, the ball connects, but your wrists feel the shock. Or worse your gloves slip, and your grip is gone. Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.
Many ballplayers struggle to find gloves that balance comfort, flexibility, and protection. With all the glove options out there, it's tough to know what’s actually right for your swing.
Here’s the deal…
The cuff length of your batting gloves can make a major difference in your performance.
So, what should you choose long cuff or short cuff?
Let’s break it down.
