Best one I've ever used was the kind Mazin Shooni was selling (that 3-C player). They were so much better than anything I've ever seen, it was a joke. Track that guy down.

I too recommend the sir joseph glove, they fit well and I like the material. As far as durability and lasting a long time they do get holes in the fingers. I figured it was because I have fingernails so maybe that won't be a problem for you.
The slix glove is more masculine and like cornerman says the fingers are cut off. They are good too but, the fit is funny. Corey the designer took his idea to korea where the gloves were manufactured and I think the sizes were lost in translation. I haven't seen a slix glove on the market for years.

Clean your cue and hands often to keep a smooth transfer. Just a thought. If you have hands like the below pic...then get a glove..or a mop. 
i just did the lesson thing with Earl and he recomends those finger wraps from walgreens. The ones basketball players use to hold thyere index and middle fingers together when youve got a sprain. U just cut them apart and use them. They only cover the area that actually touches the cue. Im gonna pick some up later today. Ill let yall know how it goes.
Think Gloves wear out from use, and like anything in time they need to be replaced.

he says they dont let him use them in some tourneys. Theyre not "approved" equipment. Which dont make sense because gloves are allowed, and they basically do the same thing. But he does use them during exhibtions and would probably use them during tourneys if they let him.
I have a Sir Joseph one. I only use it on my table at home though, since it's technically kind of outside, and Florida sucks for humidity. It's lasted a long time. Over a year. The middle finger just recently developed a hole at the tip, but it still works.

Sir Joseph Glove
I used the Sir Joseph Glove for a short time. I found them to be very comfortable. They did develop holes after awhile, and therefore replaced. I didn't care for the type with the velcro at the wrist, it just wasn't comfortable for me. But everyone is different. Just my opinion.

I also have a SLIX glove, that I use when doing shows where it's really humid...and it works great! I don't think they make that glove any more, do they Fred?

You might be able to save some money by buying a year's worth of gloves at online web sites like Mueller's. Right around the year-end holidays, they typically offer 20% discounts and free shipping so that's a good time to stock up on gloves and other pool supplies.
Micheal's Glove
I tried the Michael Jackson Glove but it didn't fit.
So I go with cleaning the cue
Keeping the hands clean and dry
Nerves of steel as so not to sweat
Playing in a decent room and I live in florida.
Gloves are for baseball, gardening, and fashion
Remember Mosconi never wore a glove
but thats just me....and till your better than him well you know

Try a Sure Shot Glove!
They are the Nuts!
I like them better than anything I have ever tried. I just went back to using one after a long hiatus. I was in a tournament when it was real hot anf humid in the poolroom. It helped me win.
Anyway, the Sure Shot glove is far better than the Sir Joseph because the fit is better. The Sir Joseph's don't cover your whole hand and the are not snug to the fit. The Sure Shot gloves are snug to the fit so it will no wrinkle on you. It almost feels like your skin because of the snug fit. You can wash them and after drying, you are ready to go again.
The only down side I see are the fingers wear out and hole, as all the gloves do. I tried to cut the tip off one time but I noticed that the glove started to move back on my hand and wrinkle up so the cue didn't move as smoothly.
They are my choice. If you Google "Sure Shot Gloves" you can find them around. If you pay $10 a glove, you are doing good. Any more is a little pricey.
My 2 cents.

My request has nothing to do with Mosconi, nor does how well a person plays dictate whether they need to wear a glove.
Glad you are sweat-free.
Moisture and humidity in the pool room or where ever one is playing is the problem. Wearing a glove eliminates unwanted crabbing of the cue when using a snug, closed bridge.
