The biggest choice in a Tater® batting glove, after fit, is the cuff. A long cuff wraps farther up the wrist for support. A short cuff stops at the wrist for a snug, simple fit. Here's how they compare, and what goes into ours.
Long cuff vs short cuff
| Long cuff | Short cuff | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it sits | Wide cuff that wraps farther up the wrist | Ends at the wrist |
| What it gives you | Wrist support and stability through the swing | A snug fit with a free wrist |
| During an at-bat | Stays anchored when you turn over on a pitch, no re-adjusting | Quick on and off |
| Best for | Hitters who want support and a locked-in feel | BP and hitters who like a free wrist |

Why hitters go long cuff
The wide, long cuff is the design choice serious hitters make. It wraps farther up the wrist for support and stability through the swing, and it stays anchored when you turn over on a pitch: no slipping and no re-adjusting between pitches. Players who switch from short cuff to long cuff rarely go back.
When a short cuff makes sense
A short cuff ends at the wrist, so there's less glove and a snug fit. You can see the difference in the strap: our short cuff closes with a strap right at the wrist, where the long cuff's wide cuff wraps farther up. That makes it a good BP glove, and a fit some hitters just prefer. Our short cuff gloves come in exclusive colorways sold in store, and they can show up in our Mystery Batting Gloves drop.
