Good glove for batting practice. I got them to avoid blisters that come from prolonged swinging, and they couldn't be better for that purpose. They have a lot of padding, especially at the part of the hand that has callouses, if you perform manual labor that is. They are too bulky to fit in my glove, which I planned to use the left one for. I don't use them for games, but if you are worried about sting, they prevent it. I have definitely gotten jammed with them and felt no pain whatsoever. 4 stars
