The same HD foam is established over the fingers to protect them as well. The blocking board on this blocker is also angled at the top to help in deflecting rebounds out of harm's way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePalm Material \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe palm is made of a high-quality VX Suede palm design.
