Buyer's Guide: Standard vs. Long Cuff

The biggest innovation in fastpitch gloves recently is the strap. Which one fits your game?

1. Standard Cuff

This is the classic look. The strap sits right at the base of the hand. It offers Maximum Mobility, allowing your wrists to roll over freely. Preferred by slappers and contact hitters who need bat control.

2. Long Cuff (Power Strap)

These gloves extend down the wrist (like a gauntlet). They offer Extra Support and stability. They also provide protection when sliding headfirst into bases. Preferred by power hitters who want a locked-in feel.
