My son pitching velocity has gotten stronger. I'm finding that my index finger or the base of my index finger is bruised. Catcher's glove padding isn't enough. Good to know that there is a glove out there, such as this, with reinforced padding at exact location i'm having issue. It's working out well, because i haven't had bruises on same area.
absorbs the sting of a hard hit ball; however, the smallest size slips on my hand and I have to reposition; since I had to retie the custom adjustments in my glove,am now committed to wearing it all the time - problems are when I am in a hurry, w/games on timelimits.
I injured my left index finger over the summer, so I bought this protective glove to protect my finger during game play. It works great! It's comfortable, not cumbersome at all.
