Baseball Glove Thin Palm Laces

The palm is one of the most sensitive and high-contact areas of a glove. Using a standard lace in this area can work, but it often adds unnecessary bulk and stiffness.

Palm laces are different by design.

These laces are:

• Skived thinner to reduce thickness inside the glove

• More flexible, allowing the palm to move naturally

• Cleaner laying, helping the glove close and break in properly

• More comfortable, especially for players who value feel and responsiveness

For gloves with tight palm channels or for restorations where feel matters, a dedicated palm lace is the preferred choice.

Yes — a standard glove lace can be used in the palm if needed.

However, palm laces are specifically cut and skived to do this job better. They reduce bulk, sit flatter against the leather, and help preserve the glove’s original performance characteristics. For higher-end gloves, restorations, or players sensitive to feel, palm laces are strongly recommended.

To properly lace an entire glove, palm laces are typically used alongside other specialized laces, depending on the glove design:

• Finger Hole Laces

• Small Finger Hole & Thumb Loops – for tighter bends and reinforced stress points

• Standard Glove Laces – for webs, heels, and finger tops

GOLOMB offers all of these components so you can build a complete, correctly matched lace set for your glove.

If you’re relacing more than just the palm, consider one of our Glove Lace Kits which include the correct mix of laces for a full job.
