What does the perfect glove feel like?

I bought the cheap amazon gloves. 10 pairs for 10 dollars. They basically felt just like the sir joseph gloves.

I never did like gloves but I really tried to like them this time around. Putting them on religiously for the past 3-4 months. I finally gave up. I started playing without a glove and the feeling instantly returned.

Now I started thinking, maybe there is a difference in feel between a 1$ glove and a $30 dollar glove? Does that extra $29 make the pool cue FEEL as if it is directly sliding along the skin?

Another thought is that maybe it's because my hands are on the small side. Maybe I need a kids size glove so it fits extremely tight on the skin?

or maybe it's just like con*dums... in that they will never be thin enough...
 
A few things that you do not want with a glove: one that is too big so that there is room between the ends of your fingers and the ends of the glove - second, a glove with thick seams that can be felt when your gloved hand is resting on the table. Other than that - comfort in a glove seems like an individual preference through trial and error - I like the Moori gloves and the Ouige gloves - Moori I get from Seyberts - Ouige I get on e bay - range on either seems to $10 to $15 or so.

I only use full finger gloves - the gloves with cut finger tips , for me , tend to ride down my fingers so that it becomes a non gloved stroke after 10 minutes of playing - defeating the purpose of a glove.

Ty for the tips. My tip goes to the end, and never noticed feeling any seam.

Do the ones u get feel like bearly nothing?
 
If you want to feel the cue sliding directly against your skin, crazy idea, just blueskying here, don't wear a glove.

A glove feels like a thin glove covering your hand.

If I don't use a glove the sensation on the skin is much better. But on rare occasions my hand does drag a little on my stick.

I liked the glove for 1 reason... consistent feeling under any and all weather/humidity. But consistently dull is something i can't get use to.

Maybe it's impossible to get the best of both...

Not touching that one, no pun intended.

Personally, I don't see what feeling the cue on my hand is supposed to do. I can do without that just fine. I want consistent dull feeling under any and all weather/humidity.
 
I feel like the use of a glove might depend on a players main bridge style. I think if you shoot open bridge there is very little difference when using a glove.

But if you shoot closed bridge there is a lot more feeling lost by wearing a glove. I shoot closed bridge. I did notice that if I made the hole just a little tighter the feeling was better. The problem is that it was very hard to replicate that exact tightness of the hole on every shot. My hole was either too loose or too tight, which would throw off stroking speed.
 
A good stroke glove doesn't feel like anything. Your cue glove might as well be an extension of your consciousness and nothing else in the universe exists. (You guys seemed to like it last time.)
 
My hands get clammy. I’ve tried a glove a few times and couldn’t get use to it. I learned from Pete Margo to wash my hands with cold water.
I needed an ice bucket.

I was playing 3c with Hugo Patino and constantly cleaning and drying my hands
Hugo gave me a glove to try and I tried once more. I was playing everyday with the glove and after a week or so it felt great.

I’m probably 95% closed bridge when playing 3c and 90 % open bridge for
pocket billiards.
I have at least six gloves in my bag,
3 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
 
The perfect glove feels like nothing at all.

Oh and BTW, if you keep your hands scrupulously clean and dry, you won't need a glove {which proves my first statement.}
 
I've never used a glove nor will i ever need a glove.

Over the weekend i was watching a handicapped person playing pool they were using one of them Bridgemates and using a glove. The entire time he used a bridgemate and does not need a glove and was using one. In this case a call using a glove bull S

I don't see the point of trying to find a glove that feels like using nothing at all. You want to wear something that feels like nothing at all don't wear one.
