Tight vs. Loose Gloves

[Whiter3]

Hey people,

Just wondering for those of you who like loose gloves; do you prefer them loose throughout the glove, or do you prefer the looseness to be in the cuff area so your wrists are free to move? Do you feel that a tighter palm would give you better control, similar to a football glove or mountain biking glove, but without the tacky material.

And I realize that having such a tight palm on a standard glove such as a superfly or K18's or whatever would make the back hand super tight and the glove way too small, but would you like the touch and tactile advantage of a football receiver type glove??

I know I prefer to have a tighter palm so I can have the best touch to my stick, I feel I have much better stick control that way

i like a semi-tight palm with loose fingers. i absolutely cant stand tight thumbs. i use gforces and they are perfect. before i got those, i was using first generation supercrosses, which were very loose. all the gens. of those afterwards were very tight, and i hate them. i like my gloves to be loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough to still have full flexibility and control. in a lot of the tighter fitting gloves, i find they are usually stiff and are trying to squeaze my hands out of them

I like tight palms, lose fingers tight thumbs but with a really lose wrist cuff. the brine Flight is close to a reciever glove cause it comes small
my friend got apair in 13 but they fit tight like a 12

semi-loose i cant stand tight gloves like IPros it just feels like the restrict my hands

I prefer my Glads/Gforces they have a nice fit and once completely broken in its not like wearing anything at all

as long as the palms to bunch up i guess im ok. overall i like tight gloves.

i kind of like the loose look and feel and not much constriction around my wrists . but i do like to have the palm tight like on macs to grip and everything. its cool when the outer cuff is all big and stuff and you only have the wrist protector thing holding it on to your arm.

i perfer loose gloves except when i faceoff and my g-forces constantly get ripped off my hands. I perfer for them to be loose in the cuff and somewhat in the palm, with tighter fingers

I prefer tight gloves. They feel more secure and they give me a better feel on my stick. However, I use both tight and loose depending on the occasion.
Tight: Exodus II
Loose: Defts
