I heard that Nick Varner makes such a glove, but can't find them online, and nobody I've seen has one.
Which pool glove is the nuts? And where can it be found?

Unfortunately, I would have said that glove also as it is the closes to the one I use in sticky environments. I use the SLIX glove which has the grippy palm, nipped off finger tips, and velcro wrist.Flex said:Looking for a high quality pool glove: one that will last a long time.

TXsouthpaw said:i just did the lesson thing with Earl and he recomends those finger wraps from walgreens. The ones basketball players use to hold thyere index and middle fingers together when youve got a sprain. U just cut them apart and use them. They only cover the area that actually touches the cue. Im gonna pick some up later today. Ill let yall know how it goes.

So I go with cleaning the cue
Keeping the hands clean and dry
Nerves of steel as so not to sweat
Playing in a decent room and I live in florida.
Gloves are for baseball, gardening, and fashion
Remember Mosconi never wore a glove
but thats just me....and till your better than him well you know

I like them better than anything I have ever tried. I just went back to using one after a long hiatus. I was in a tournament when it was real hot anf humid in the poolroom. It helped me win.
Anyway, the Sure Shot glove is far better than the Sir Joseph because the fit is better. The Sir Joseph's don't cover your whole hand and the are not snug to the fit. The Sure Shot gloves are snug to the fit so it will no wrinkle on you. It almost feels like your skin because of the snug fit. You can wash them and after drying, you are ready to go again.
The only down side I see are the fingers wear out and hole, as all the gloves do. I tried to cut the tip off one time but I noticed that the glove started to move back on my hand and wrinkle up so the cue didn't move as smoothly.
They are my choice. If you Google "Sure Shot Gloves" you can find them around. If you pay $10 a glove, you are doing good. Any more is a little pricey.
My 2 cents.
