I found the super glove to have a medium amount of protection as far as string feel, but not as much as I thought it would when I got it. It is really hard to say unless you have all the options to try at the same time. I find my feel changes over time as I get used to different padding amounts. . I hated it because for some reason it would cause splits in my skin in the joint of one of my fingers. Middle finger I think. It also took on the deepest grove of any glove I have had, and maybe that was why it would split my finger. I had a American Leather big shot at the time also, and there was no comparison. The big shot had way more padding, release was better, and no issue with splitting my finger.
