Discussion: Best Batting Glove for Pratice

Hi guys i will like to know your comments what all of u are wearing for that long session of practice and hard work to get better with powerful bomb now i had use marruci, franklin and rawling cfx - pro all of them are good but damage so fast i want something that could have more durability i bat 250 balls once a week with temperature 86F i'm in dominican repuiblic the tropic i want to know what you are using guys.
My BP/rec game gloves are from H. Depot.
Hey thanks diesel what brand name post some picture or intagram link.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
Look at libra safety products on web for work gloves, less $ and longer lasting
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.

If you can find some made of goat skin, you will be forever satisfied. Might have to look for some made in Mexico, though.
