Got hit on the hand in my Newbery sps gloves that are a few years old. They are modern style and I was rapped on the knuckles. At the time I didn't think it had done any damage but 12 hours later I had bruised. Just goes to show really, you can't always tell instantly.

I guess here is a lot of luck/circumstances which dictate extent of injury (angle of impact, speed, the "squeeze factor" onto the bat handle, where on the glove the ball hits, etc), hence no guarantees with any glove.
Are many of the high volume big manufacturers all getting their gloves made/supplied form the sub-continent, hence similar protection levels afforded by the sub-continent brands as the ones more established in other countries? The reason I ask is that there appears to be a price difference between these two sets of manufacturers - despite price differences , do they give the same level of protection?
Also a point touched upon earlier - do professional players get "special" extra protection on their gloves not deemed necessary for "mere mortals"?
Also came across a strange cricket glove by Aero which felt rock hard but eemed to do a v good job at protecting the hands (mitt type design again from recollection) - any thoughts or experiences of these gloves?
