Always I use this sports glove for extra padding inside my mitt. It feels great and gives awesome protection and I love the fact that you can buy just one glove, instead of buying a pair. This is the by far the best glove from Next that I have ever used, and these are great gloves but what makes the difference is this glove forms to your hand and it’s so easy to use. It’s well worth the money. I’ve played baseball my whole life and this is by far the greatest glove I have ever bought or worn. They seem terrific and definitely stop the bat sting in cold weather, or when using wood bats with no protective handle wrap.
