Is it a new glove structurally, or just an existing brand relabeled for Predator?
 
No, but unless it doesn't wear holes in the fingers as fast, there's no need to switch from what I'm using now.

I agree. I can't quite tell from the picture but it looks like the Predator glove is made of a thicker material than the Sir Joseph gloves I'm using now.

The Predator glove sells for $10.20 at Seybert's but you need to add in the $2.55 cost of shipping, so the total cost is $12.75/glove. You're probably paying a premium just for the Predator brand name. Other gloves on Seybert's can be had for around $7-8 plus shipping.
 
No i have not.

i am waiting for the $60.00 kamooee glove to come out.

Sorry for that comment in this thread but it was an inside joke.
I'm a predator cue user all the way and I'm sure the glove is top quality.
 
I havnt tried to shoot with a glove yet buy Im thinking about trying for the hell of it cant hurt to rule out another variable when playing.
 
I guess they are alright ...

but it would be like whacking off with a rubber on, not quite the same feeling!
 
i got one of these gloves more than a year ago to test as a prototype. not sure if the final version is the same as mine or if they made some changes, but here are my thoughts....

i usually play with a sir joseph glove, and those are OK, the main issues are that the seams are weakly sewn and the material is thinner leading to holes eventually. the predator glove is sturdier, the seams hold together better and the material is thicker. the thicker material is stronger, but feels different when shooting. it's harder to feel the cue.

it's got these rubberish spots screened onto the base of the palm and the tip of the middle finger to give you more grip on the table. the yellow cat and the black predator letters are also screened on. these will eventually wear off and crack/fade as you use it and wash it. the black predator letters did bleed a little color onto the yellow fabric. these screened on parts are the parts that will wear the fastest and make the glove look 'old', though the glove itself should still function fine as long as the fabric and seams hold together.

the glove fits well for the most part. it does cover more of the hand than a sir joseph which has a deeper scoop cut out on the last two fingers. mine feels like the scoop on the palm side of the hand isn't cut deep enough, it rubs up against my last two fingers. that's the only part i'd change about the fit. mine was marked as a large size, perhaps i need a different size. it has a velcro wrist strap which allows you to tighten it on the wrist as you like.

overall a nice glove, though some may not like the bright yellow color. they were supposed to make a 'blak' version of this glove too that was grey and black, but so far only the 'sport' version seems to have been released.
 
Got my shipment today, very nice fitting glove. Very snug fit, but comfortable. Very much like the Sir Joesph w/ the velcro tab but a better fit and better seam construction.
