I used silicone gel heel pad material. For 10 bucks I got 2 pair, cut one down, jammed it into the index finger slot. So far it feels fine.
Index finger padding?

Is she a catcher or position player?
She put a piece of PORON XRD padding and glued it with some DAP contact cement. Colored the padding in with a black permanent marker. She said she can hardly feel the ball hit now.

I just saw pic. I know you said she doesn’t like under gloves but Allstar makes a glove especially for catchers with extra padding in certain areas. $20. Is that a Mizuno Samurai 34.5 mitt or one of their Classic mitts?
The .org she plays with requires Mizuno. It is a 34”

For $190 I would expect plenty of padding. Not a fan of Mizuno. I looked at the Samurai 34.5 for one of my daughters but went with the White/Black Liberty Advanced instead. We had a Easton Synergy as a starter glove but was only a 33”. Good little glove plenty of padding. We upgraded to what I read was the best glove for the money Mizuno Franchise 34”. Broke in quickly but not much padding. Girls won’t use it probably wind-up giving it away.
