Title: who has custom made keeping gloves...
Post by: 19reading87 on April 07, 2011, 10:23:51 PM: .... and what type of inner best suits you for them?

I recently tried non padded which made the feel for the ball better but obviously stopped protection and had some very numb hands after. Just seeing other peoples thoughts and views....

If you keep to fast bowlers, take chamois padded as they will settle after a few games.

If you keep to the odd quicky, mediums and spinners where you find yourself standing up more often than not, get chamois nonpadded

If your hands hurt, don't worry about it, the pain will go. The feel is more important
