Glove size

I don't think my hand is that large, but the xl gloves, no matter which brand, don't fit me properly as they are too small. I had to go out and look for a manufacturer that made a 2XL glove so it wouldn't tear every time I put it on. 'Roaming' is the manufacturer I use to get a 2XL glove and they fit very comfortably. Anybody else have this problem?

I can palm a basketball and I have no trouble with the IBS Pool Gloves on Amazon 4 for $10.00. Keep your finger nails short and they last a long time.

I hate a tight glove. I always buy the Predator 2xl glove. Right out of the box I trim the fingers back with a sharp pair of scissors. All the other gloves are just too tight for me to use.

Get yourself a carbon fiber shaft and never need a glove again,,,,,,,, it'll likely pay for itself over time.

When I lived out west, neither maple nor CF shafts felt sticky enough that I needed a glove.
I now live in the southeast and it gets so humid down here I need a glove for CF shafts unless I want to shoot every shot with an open bridge.

Yeah I guess, I live in coastal NC, less than 20 miles from the Atlantic ocean and have never even owned a glove. I concede though that some folks just get sweaty hands more than others.

I'm in TN but my table is in the basement. Maybe that's why it gets so sticky. I don't have an issue playing at the local halls, just at home.
 
Unless the material is extra thick/stiff, way oversized is always better for me than even a tiny bit too small. Easier to put on/take off also.

I have 3 different cf shafts, buts still would rather play with a glove. The 2xl fits perfectly, an xl too tight and tears too easily.

Hey if it works right,,,,,, I wonder if it may be the brand of shaft. I have only 1, have never had but that 1 and it's a Cuetec. So I wonder if there is much difference from brand to brand of CF shafts. I can only assume there would be. I've made quite a few shafts over the years and can't say that I ever made one that played better than the Cuetec, or felt better, not to mention it just don't get dings at all.
 
I have:
1) Pechauer Rogue Carbon Fiber Play Shaft-Pro Joint
2) Cuetec Cynergy
3) Homemade (made in Philippines)

Of the three, the Rogue and the Cuetec I like the best, then the homemade shaft. I love all three of them and I play well with them all, but I have those preferences. I still like using a glove when I play no matter what type of shaft I am playing with.
