A batting glove includes a plurality of finger elements, a thumb element, a top portion, and a lower portion. the finger elements cover fingers, the thumb element covers a thumb, the top portion covers a back side of the hand, and the lower portion covers a palm of the hand. Preselected thicknesses of preselected materials are included in order to protect the bones, ligaments, pulleys, tendons, etc. of a wearer from direct shock, and to distribute stress along the hand. A hockey catch glove includes shock absorbing pads in the areas above and below the center axis of rotation of the metaoarpalphalangeal joint of the index finger. Additional shock absorbing pads may extend to areas above and below the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints of all of the fingers as well as the metacarpalphalangeal joints of the fingers and the bony prominences of the thumb. Even additionally, stiffners may be sandwiched between the smock absorbing pads and a bottom panel on the palmar side of the glove.
