I used to wear them. For a few reason.

One my coach said they stop the sweat ruining leathers.
Two cos when I was young I had used adult gloves and wanted the, too fit better.


When I was about 20 I ripped my only pair and it felt so umcomfy so binned them. That innings I felt so much more in control in the bat, I'd like I could really feel what was happening.
Haven't used them since!

I think they feel funny! I wear youths gloves, mainly cos I have small hands but also because I like a really snug fit, inners make it feel weird.
I do ruin gloves quickly though :/

I hate inners, only one grip on the bat as well - I want to be in control of the bat and the closer I can feel the bat the better for me personally.

Only started to wear inners this year but have felt the difference in the length of time my batting gloves have lasted.

I'm completely the other way, bats feel totally wrong to me with only one grip.

I wear inners (padded ones actually!) and three grips on the bat. Feels much better to hold - I used to get pains in my thumb joints the day after playing, but since I adopted this setup I don't get them anymore.

It doesn't reduce the control of the bat either - I never had any in the first place

I don't wear inners as it ruins the feel of the bat in my hands. I also use 1 grip where possible.

I found Pittards are a good compromise. I get sweaty palms and the Pittard palms do a far superior job to clearing moisture and retaining grip. Only problem tends to be you have to dry them out asap or they are next to useless the following day. I think it's also 1 pair a season I go through as the grip pattern on the palm gets worn down and they tend to clear moisture less effectively the longer you use them.

When I am using inners I get that spongey feeling whilst holding the bat that just isn't right. I prefer no inners but the downside to this is my gloves are getting sweaty too quick, and I don't like cheap ol' gloves! Somewhat a fan of gloves, abit like Wilkie is!

I intend to start wearing fingerless inners.

Is it just gray nics who make these or is there a better pair?

I originally wore gray nics fingerless ones and they were great untill I lost them, tried full in nets and didn't like them as much as I like to be able to feel the bat at least through the fingers, since then gone without and been okay but my gloves are wearing quicker. I'll be investing in the GN fingerless ones again this year

I don't wear Inners. I do however use talc powder on my hands just before I go out to bat and have done for years, works a treat.

I wear full fingered inners because of how much I sweat but to be honest feel more comfortable without so the last few games I have not worn any on match day but made sure I wear them in the nets.

That's quite different.

What sort of gloves do you wear....Does it get slippery with softer leather palms...calf etc

[Twelfth Man]

Time to revert back to using these. Gloves get wrecked, money consuming addiction.

[mk_chappo]

Never worn inners. Can't 'feel' the bat in my hands. I pay the price in gloves though. Probably go through 2 or 3 pairs in a season.

[ManHOOS]

I tried inner once but felt awkward while gripping the bat ...maybe due to my small hands
