Hello I am not used to wearing a glove. However I am trying to lengthen the life of my cue. I have had cues that have gotten very dirty and grimy in the past whereas I just wanted a new cue. Like it became hard to stroke the cue. Yes I can get them cleaned however it looks awful too. And leaves a permanent stain.

I already have a glove but it is make of a very slick material. Kinda like silk. It is hard to get used to. Is there a billiard glove on the market that is so slick and more like skin? Or at least not that slick? Speed control has become harder since the switch to a glove. Need something a little less slick. Thank you for your responses.

I've tried several and IMHO the KAMUI and PREDATOR SECOND SKIN are the best.

Both were in the $30'ish range.

The KAMUI was sized a bit small according to the size charts.

The PREDATOR is the one I use most. It doesn't feel quite as slick as silk. It is a bit easier to adjust and seems better built and if I remember correctly was a bit less money.

Both are three finger gloves which I prefer.

I hope this helps.

Start washing your hands after eating KFC fried chicken and peanut butter before you play. Shaft maintenance is pretty simple while and after you play. I don't get it.

This. ^^^^

Keep your hands and your shaft clean.

For the shaft, try Mr Clean magic eraser. I like the sheets rather than the pads. They’re single use/disposable and you can keep a couple in your bag.

This ^^^^ :giggle:

There are always two things out of my case when playing. A tip pick and a shaft slicker. The shaft slicker normally gets used twice during 4-5 hours of play on both the shooter and the break cue. My sneaky is 40 years old and smooth (and clean) as snot.
 
Wash your hands more often and carry and use a cotton handkerchief to wipe down your cue every so often this has always worked wonders for me .

If I were you I'd watch how I talk to people.

I've tried half a dozen different gloves and ended up liking the molinari 3 fingered version the best so far....some have a small black rubber patch for grip on the bed cloth that ends up wearing off onto the table....THE best advice I've gotten since switching to a glove a couple 3-5 years ago...buy your glove one size too small so it fits extra tight....good luck
 
The material is very light compared to the rest.....
