Currently I am in the market for a new pair of gloves and cant decide which pair to get. Ive narrowed it down to either G forces, superStar II's, SuperFreaks or MacDaddy's.
I have had the gait insanities for a little over a year and have never really been happy with them. they feel sloppy on my hand and slide around alot which i dont like. the palms are also a problem on that glove. whenever i have to re-grip on my shaft the palm bunches up and when i grab my shaft i have a handful of wrinkley palm and not a handful of shiney metal. this translates into horrible feel and even worse grip.
so I guess what I am looking for is a snug fitting glove, with a tight palm (meaning that it isnt going to bunch up when i grab my shaft) and of course good flexibility. since I havent had the chance to try any of these on Im looking to u guys for advice.

since you say your going for a tight fitting glove I'd reccommend the superfreaks. I had a pair for a while, tight fitting, very flexible, but didn't have the best durability. I personally would go with the g-force, but you said you were looking for something tighter... if you dont mind the gloves being sort of loose then the g-force would be perfect, the most durable glove I've ever had, by far. Superfreaks if you want tight fitting.
Get the G-Force in navy.
Why you ask?

i liek the supeerfreaks the best, for "tightness", i think the g forces fit least tight to your hand. I dont see the difference between macs and superfreaks though, so id go with the cheaper choice(superfreaks). the superstars i dont know about.

i have got to agree with you. no other glove can compare to the g-force

I am going with the crowd on this one and saying G-Force. I love mine. Best protection, best palm, not the tightest glove in the world, but still a great feel for the stick. Overall a huge winner. Plus they are cheaper than Macs.
But try out the I-Pro's too if you can. I haven't tried them yet, but I hear they are great, comparable to the G-Forces.

the gforces kind restrick the movement of the wrist when you first get them.. and also the palm is stiff

I don't really remember the palm part, but I totally dissagree about the wrist. Just make the strap loose and it is fine.

when you say loose (talking about the g-forces of course) im not shure what your saying. i dont have a problem with them being loose, but i do have a problem with them sliding off my hands and feeling "sloppy". basically loose is ok if the glove will stay on your hands.
if u had your g forces on and held them vertically and shook your hand...would they fall off or stay pretty much in the same place?

Superstar II's. They are just a good as all those gloves, but cheaper. I used them through this entire season, and have seen no tears. Great durability, flexible out of the bag, great palms, everything about these gloves is awesome.
