Making Goalie Gloves Grip Better

Scooner

Does anyone have tips for making goal keeper gloves grip better. I see you can get a spray for them, but I'm looking for a hack of some sort.

I play 5 or 6 a-side, but I bought them as I have a turn in goal. Today I was kicked in the hand, so I'm glad I did. It's been pissing down all day, so they were soaked through. It's Rainy Season here, so it will be more of the same.

I would imagine that if they are wet, then that is about as 'sticky' as they will get. If they are soaked through though, then there's not much you can do. Maybe get a second pair and switch them when the first absord too much water.

Having been a keeper for a long time I can't say I've ever needed to make the grip more sticky. There are sprays you can get but reading about them the adhesive doesn't seem to last long and you just get all the mud and grass stuck to them anyway which defeats the purpose. Best thing is for them to be slightly damp - squirt a bit of water and rub them together. Also, spit seems to be quite good for them! If it's pouring rain there's not much you can do - maybe change into a fresh pair at half time if you want. I always keep a small hand towl in the goal to try and dry them off or wipe off mud when needed.

Yeah they grip a bit better when they're wet but not sopping wet just a bit.

Yeah just being a bit moist gives the grip some stick.

Quick pre-game wank should sort you out.

Always makes me late for the game 🙁

I gave them a wash, and they seem much better. Being cheap, maybe they hadn't removed manufacturing treatments and ressidues, and the getting soaking wet, maybe this mad them really slippery. I'll see how they fair.

I only want them for protection really, and yesterdays kick in the hand confirmed that. I like learning instruments, and hate it when finger are out of action. I'm just rotating goalie so wouldn't want second pair. I'm a right back with my skill sets.

Two friends pick up a woman one night, she asks them to put on some protection so as she doesn't get pregnant which they do.
Months later the friends meet again- Do you remember that woman we picked up the first one asks, do you care if she got pregnant?
No, answers the second one.
Me neither responds the first, I'm taking this fucking thing off...........
