This isn't true. I mean, it may be true for you, but it simply isn't true for everyone. If it was as simple as washing your hands and trying to keep the shaft clean, there would be no reason to ever invent a glove. But, the fact is, some people do better with the glove regardless of how many times they wash their hands, clean their shaft, use supremely cold water, etc., etc., etc.

I use extra lubricated condoms!!!Tey are amazing (they keep your shaft CLEAN and shiny) and if you want better feeling you can use extra thin for maximum pleasure.With dots and stuf ...not recomended...much deflection.If you have loooong fingers you can use XL sizes.Hope to help some of you you to see the light!

DO NOT USE retardant condoms cause will affect your stroke speed, and vibration rings...MUCH DEFLECTION

Yup better tell my wife that I'm gay. I sure do have alot of kids for a gay guy....
 
Gay?!?!?

UR a fuxin moron. It's a functioning piece of equipment.

I personally can not play without a glove, aside from living in Florida where the humidity is rediculous I also have hands that sweat profusely. WHen I say I couldn't play without a glove, thats a lie. But the distraction of constantly washing my hands, powdering them and keeping a consistant amount of powder on them so that there arent inconsistancies in the friction of the cue to hand during play, wiping down the cue constantly, etc, etc... involved in not using a glove isn't worth it.

Gloves give me a uniform level of friction and allows me to focus on the games at hand rather than focusing on the rediclous amount of maintainance it takes on my cue/hands in order to not look gay to you.
 
"Superstroke" Bruce Christopher mentions in his book ("Superstroke": My Winning Secrets) that he would run cold water over his hands to keep them from sweating and needing powder.

This is what works for me too.
 
I think of the Buddy Hall story about a player who wouldn't stop playing him even though he lost every game just because of the cue Buddy was using (house cue with a bad tip).

I started using a glove and its amazing how people will continue to play.

I've played a number of people who said they would have quit earlier but didn't think anyone who wore a glove could play.

I view wearing a glove like any other equipment if it helps its a good thing.
 
you shouldn't get so defensive about the fact that your wear a glove, all the hand washing, and all the baby powder and so on. Seems like just another excuse for losing to me. I'll take my losses as they come, I don't need any excuses other than the fact that I just got outplayed!

P.S. Thanks for the bad rep...
