I have some of last seasons soccer keeping gloves but they seem to have lost their grip.
Anyone got any tips on how to get the grip back?
Honey? Glue?
thanks

Yeah, the material they are made out of only really retains its grip as long as they are in good condition.BN wrote:

If you seriously want Fingersave, then get the new Adidas Fingersave or the new Puma V-KonstructsBN wrote:
Thanks for all your advice guys.
I am looking at the Chimera Absolutegrip. Does that have anything like the fingersave?
Mm, not with a titanium based latex. Those just lose grip and don't get it back. Also, just water will not do the trick. Most latex gets contaminated with the bacteria from the ground and loses its grip very fast ( if its very good latex ) so you either need a decent soap or a good glove cleaner ( uhlsport and sells sell them ) and water at around 40C to clean them properly. Dunk in water + cleaner, wipe, repeat, rinse, dunk, squeeze and leave out to dry naturally. If you add any heat whatsoever then you have just ruined the gloves..Sup wrote:

You want at least 4mm of latex. Preferably white and super soft. A breathable back hand. Supported wrist ( lots of gloves have flimsy and bad wrist bands, can cause injuries ). Don't get negative cut or bowl cut unless you like them super tight. Look for Rollfinger or FlatPalm. Make sure you get the perfect size, never get something slightly bigger, it makes the world of a difference.BN wrote:
What other things should I look for in a glove?
I haven't goalkeeped for 5 years now so i'm not familiar with the latest "glove technology" but it did the trick for me. I always had water with me near the goal and pored my gloves with it every 15 minutes.Zimmer wrote:

Ah, that's a different concept. Spit or water during a game will always reassure a better than average grip, but he means after the match, when the latex is covered in mud. Cleaning is a bit more complicated..Sup wrote:

Ah my bad, i misread him. I never used any special cleaning chemicals, only water but i would say the cleaning liquids made especially to clean goalkeeper gloves would do the best job.Zimmer wrote:

No, of course you still have to spit on them while in a game. If you don't then they will dry out and balls will sip through.
Never heard of those. Can you give me a pic of them?robcr9 wrote:
Do not get fingersaves Aka Fingerbreaks
our goalkeeper broke his fingers with them, the consultant said to him never to get these gloves they do more damage than good.
buy normal ones, or try the adidas FingerTips they are good, or just get normal ones
I broke my finger using normal gloves. End of the day if someone hits it hard enough and you're either at full stretch or awkward position your fingers are going to break. No matter what gloves, unless like some metal ones mor something.robcr9 wrote:

Hm, the goalkeeper was doing something wrong, not the gloves.robcr9 wrote:
