Style Guide: Long Cuff vs. Standard
Batting gloves have evolved. While the classic fit is still popular, the new wave of "Long Cuff" gloves is taking over the game. Here is how to choose.
1. Long Cuff (The Modern Power Style)
Brands like Jax have popularized this style. The cuff extends further down the wrist and uses a wider, double-wrap strap. This acts almost like a wrist tape job, providing immense stability and preventing your wrist from rolling over too early in the swing. Ideal for power hitters.
2. Standard Cuff (The Traditional Feel)
The classic Franklin CFX or Akadema style. These have a shorter cuff that stops right at the wrist bone. They offer maximum freedom of movement and a lighter feel. Preferred by contact hitters who want zero restriction.
