Finger slides

[md5key]

There is no general "Product Review" section so I posted this in the main forum - if it needs to go somewhere else please move it! :wink:

I got my finger slides about 2 weeks ago, and had used them off and on during that time. They are made out of what seems like pretty strong material, and seem like they would last a long while as long as you don't abuse them. The feel of the cue going through them is a little different than it is through my glove - the finger slides seem to be much more consistent, possibly because they fit so well. Another nice feature is that your finger tips are left bare, so some bridges feel more natural.

Last Thursday I was playing with a buddy and he was complaining that his hands were sticky - it was really messing with him. I gave him the finger slides to try, and that was a mistake! He started shooting way better, I barely won our 14.1 game, and to top it off - He never gave them back!

He's been shooting with them every game now and really likes them - wish I had a pair

What is the advantage over the glove?

I currently use a glove but hate to have my hand covered im going to give these a try they look pretty cool. Thanks for the review.

The advantage for me is that they fit better, and since they just slide onto your fingers they don't have any material that wraps around your wrist.. I know with my glove sometimes it's uncomfortable in certain bridge positions because of the material around my wrist.

Also if you have issues with your hand sweating, these provide more air flow to your hand than gloves do.

Gloves look dorky..... These only look half dorky.

But sweaty hands (and everything else) is dorkier. I sweat really bad ...

They are a bit too thick for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I do like them but I would like them to be a bit thinner for me. Worth the money. She runs specials often in the Wanted/For Sale forum.
