Bladder components and gloves that include such bladder components attenuate impact forces incident on the glove and/or a wearer's hand. Such bladder components and gloves may dampen impact forces applied by a game ball or other projectile to the glove (and thus to the wearer's hand) and/or reduce the energy returned to the game ball or other projectile from the glove. These features may better enable ball control (e.g., by limiting the ball's rebound force/distance off the hand) and/or improve wearer's comfort. Further, such gloves may provide delayed re-expansion of the bladder chamber and/or foam material to keep the bladder chamber and/or foam in a compressed configuration as the wearer grasps the ball/projectile from the glove during further play. In this manner, the ball will remain positioned in the glove at an expected location so that the wearer can easily locate and grasp the ball/projectile.
