Just taken delivery of some VSports unpadded half chamois inners (cotton backs) and they feel really good. Not tried them with gloves on yet, but may have a go at wetting them at nets tonight and see how they feel

Exactly the same as what I've got they are mate.

MAsuri arrived yet?

Not yet mate, should be here end of the week.

I got them because of your suggestion mate, exactly what I was looking for

Does anybody know what certain pros wear?

The best insight I have is Haddins keeping corner which has been post before.

His inners look full chamios but you can't see padded or not.
However most interesting is his "finger guards" which are a "keepers best friend".
What the hell are they?

Personally I use un-padded inners soaked and rung out in hot water for quicks only, when the spinners and dobblers come on i remove my inners. I feel that the work done standing up is instinctive and inners tend to dull the senses!

SG, I have similar finger socks in my kit but would only use them to protect an already damaged finger. Even then I don't think it really helps so actually I have given them away.

I use the finger sleeves for hockey and they are great. I can't comment on their uses for keeping though

i have also used finger guards only for injured fingers (mostly the mid joint) and have a couple in my kit bag. i think it helps keep the joint steady thereby preventing further injury/pain. this is something that basketball players also use.

i used non padded last year, and it killed my hands on occasions. so was gonna switch to padded ? would you recommend this!!!!!

Depends how you find the grip of the when catching with non padded?

[19reading87]

I swapped between padded and non padded on Sunday at training, first time I had done this in a session and the difference is massive in my eyes. I had no feeling of the ball with padded. Yer it took the sting away little but no real feel for the ball...

BUMP!

as i've said a few times, i've moved up from 3rd to 2nd team this season due to my keeping. i'm working hard on my feet and technique, but my catching still isn't brilliant and i'm wondering whether this may be because i changed to padded inners?

for example i dropped a sharp catch down leg standing up to a spinner last night, which went into the glove and came back out. i did everything right, got across and got my hands in the right place but just didnt feel the ball into the glove.

i used to use non-padded but changed when i started keeping to 65-70mph quicks! i don't mind my hands stinging a bit (hate the bruising tho!) so maybe an unpadded chamois is the answer?

What keeping gloves are you using mate?
