With the aid of an Anatomical Fit System the gloves have been designed with a slight bend according to the natural gripping position of the hand. Thus ensuring comfort, flexibility and movement of the glove in time with the speed of the fingers. The top model 93 Elite has an elastic insert between the index finger and thumb for optimal freedom of movement. The glove is wrapped from palm to backhand to maximise the catching area, and the fingertips have reinforced gel-lines for optimum protection.
A wide wrist strap allows a feeling of stability and safety in the wrist. The most important thing of all is the palm. The flat cut glove comes with a thin latex layer inside providing a perfect and firm fit and excellent shock absorption.
With an elastic insert and asymmetric wrist to ensure easy entry into the glove, comfortable to wear and minimal water absorption when playing in wet weather. A popular glove cut choice that reminds of Flat Cut. This style of cut also has gussets between the palm and the backhand.
The gussets of the 88 glove are also made of latex giving constant latex contact between the glove and the ball. Negative Cut fits snugger and the fingers are held in place giving optimal ball contact when catching.
This is the most common cut among professionals. Features the best aspects of a roll cut and a flat cut. Latex is rolled around the individual fin-gertips for a snug fit and feel combined with a flat style palm that gives the fingers increased comfort and breathability. The unique combina-tion of fit and feel allows the user to have the great fit of roll finger combined with the flexi-bility of flat cut.
Traditional glove cut with a flat palm construc-tion providing a larger area of contact and mak-ing the glove more flexible. They are named "roll finger" due to the fact that the backhand is connected to the palm and does not use gussets.
While it does provide a comfortable feel, some may view it as a slightly larger or "bulkier" cut vs negative type gloves. Negative cut goalkeeper gloves have become increasingly popular over the past years, particularly across Europe.
This provides a much tighter and snug fit with control on the ball that is more "true" to your hand. Due to this, gloves utilising this type of cut will wear slightly quicker than roll finger for example. In addition, the inside stitching has the effect of creating padding at the tips of your fingers — providing both protection and a smooth, firm surface to distribute the ball from.
The only real downside to Negative gloves is that the inside stitching creates more tension in the latex , meaning this cut will wear slightly faster than Flat Cut or Roll Finger gloves. In some respects the Negative Roll is the most advanced goalkeeping glove cut. Is it really worth it? Regular Negative cut gloves are still my preference. My experience was entirely positive, and I enjoyed the fact that two of my favourite cuts Negative and Roll Finger had been merged into something unique and novel.
But ultimately, did the Hybrid design really make an impact to my game? So remember that while your gloves can help you achieve more grip of the ball , no new cut variation will turn you into a better all-round goalkeeper.
Before you take the plunge into a new brand, read their reviews. Also consider how long your gloves usually last, and what you can budget for throughout a season. Then make sure you properly care for your gloves in order to prolong their lifespan.
