batting gloves or...

[Gabe Williams]

My DD has been hampered with some nasty blisters this year. Bad timing because she's a freshman that wants to ramp it up for varsity tryouts. What are the best gloves/methods to protect their hands when training/hitting? Her coach did suggest a pair of gloves to try. It just made me curious what others did too.

don't take this the wrong way BUT... if she has blisters, she is not hitting enough daily or every other day. working harder and hitting often makes the blister turn into calluses. gloves would help but may also cause more blistering if the gloves are too loose.

Makes sense. She had calluses last year. She had a month (Dec.) away from softball specific training for the first time. Now she's reinvigorated, but soft hands. Is what it is I guess.
