Gloves and Carbon fiber shafts

[fish2]

Most pros use a glove when using CF shafts, at least the ones that I have seen on TV. I have both Rhino and Revo and using it without gloves works and find no need to use a glove.

Totally a personal deal. My hands don't sweat and i don't use a glove. Whatever u like do it.

Everyone is different, I have very dry and massive hands so never needed a glove. Playing in more tropical, humid places might change that.

I've been playing with Rhino shafts and like them fine without a glove, but it's pretty dry here. If I moved back to Virginia I might want a glove. Pros play in a wide variety of conditions, so for consistency sake it makes sense they'd just wear the glove all the time.

I have a glove but never use it, company for my case lol. Maybe the pros get paid for wearing the glove.

I have sweaty hands. Been using gloves since they were very uncool, used to be the only person in my league that ever used one. Now almost everyone does.

It is less necessary with a carbon shaft for sure, but I still like the consistency in feel it brings regardless of if my hands are sweaty or dry.

My first session with the Rhino (first CF shaft), I played with no glove and it was fine.
Second session and it started to get sticky. I use glove with CF shaft and usually glove-less with wood, unless it's really humid, then I'll use gloves as most rooms don't allow powder these days.
Wood is easier to wipe down, CF gets sticky and needs alcohol wipes which is too much to handle during play.
Really, what works for you.

I don’t wear a glove 95% of the time but there are environments that are humid enough that even a freshly cleaned CF shaft feels sticky and a glove really helps.
