In a market where many players replace their batting gloves every few weeks, XVLO steps onto the field with one message:
These batting gloves are for serious hitters. Built different. Built to last.
Franklin’s Popularity: The Batting Glove Everyone Knows
Franklin’s CFX Pro is one of the most popular batting gloves in baseball. It is worn by many players, stocked in sporting goods stores, and often chosen by hitters who want an affordable glove with a familiar look.
But for serious hitters, that is also the problem. Many affordable batting gloves are built to be replaced.
- Material: Textured sheepskin leather
- Price point: Around $35
- Lifespan: Shorter under hard training and game use
- Fit: Flexible at first, but may stretch out quickly
XVLO Batting Gloves: Premium Goatskin Built for Performance
XVLO did not enter the batting glove market to compete on cheap pricing. XVLO was built to raise the standard for hitters who want better grip, better feel, stronger durability, and long-term baseball performance.
- Material: Full goatskin leather, stronger than many sheepskin or Cabretta options
- Grip: Natural leather feel with silicone fingertip control
- Durability: Built for repeated batting practice, cage work, training, and games
- Design: Reinforced, fitted, and structured for serious hitters
Real hitters notice the difference in the first swing. The glove does not just fit better. It performs better. Whether you are in the cage, at practice, or chasing exit velocity gains, XVLO goatskin batting gloves are built for serious reps.
Price vs. Value
You can keep buying lower-cost batting gloves over and over, or you can invest in one premium pair built for longer use.
- Franklin CFX Pro: Lower upfront price, but may need repeated replacement
- XVLO Batting Gloves: Higher upfront price, built for serious training, grip control, and durability
With XVLO, you are not just paying for a logo. You are paying for premium goatskin leather, grip control, durability, and hitter-focused performance.
Material Matters: Sheepskin vs. Goatskin
| Feature | Franklin Sheepskin | XVLO Goatskin |
|---|---|---|
| Softness | Soft out of the package | Soft feel that forms with use |
| Durability | Lower durability under hard use | Higher durability for serious reps |
| Grip | Texture can wear down | Natural goatskin feel plus silicone fingertip control |
| Sweat Handling | Can absorb sweat quickly | Built for better grip retention and repeated use |
Sheepskin is built for comfort.
Goatskin is built for hitters who demand durability, grip, and control.
Built for Exit Velocity and Bat Control
XVLO batting gloves are more than protection. They are performance gear for hitters who want better feel through the hands, cleaner barrel control, and more confidence at the plate.
- Swing with better grip confidence
- Maintain stronger bat control through contact
- Support fingertip feel without over-squeezing
- Train with gloves built for repeated reps
XVLO lives at the end of the kinetic chain.
The glove is where the hitter’s work connects to the bat. That is why grip, feel, material, and durability matter.
Real Hitters Need Real Batting Gloves
If you are swinging multiple times per week in batting practice, playing regular games, training for exit velocity, or preparing for travel baseball, high school baseball, college baseball, JUCO baseball, or softball competition, weak gloves will not hold up forever.
XVLO is built for hitters who demand:
- No-slip grip feel
- Long-term durability
- Premium goatskin leather
- Fingertip control
- Stronger wrist and palm structure
- One glove built for serious training and performance
This is not about trend. It is about trust, control, and performance at the plate.
