Molinari Gloves

I think Molinari is a higher end brand of Predator, looks like no gloves out there but the Predator and a few other brands are pretty much the same. Omega has some but only Yellow https://www.omegabilliards.com/Molinari_gloves_p/3733right.htm
The Peri gloves are good, as good as anything else I have seen.

I am pretty confident Molinari is their own brand and separate entity. I am assuming something happened where they are not producing gloves anymore or maybe went out of business.

Molinari is now owned by same outfit that owns Gabriels tables and Dynasphere balls. No longer part of Predator Group. https://www.dynaspheres.com/gdm-sports-bv-acquires-all-activities-and-brands-from-hcsb-bv/

It just feel better without a glove.
What do they call the little tiny finger (thumb and first two fingers) that's the real deal if needed. "UnGlove" I think
I tried glove it's a mezz glove. For the thing to fit tight and right on fingers. I really gotta squeeze my hand in . Struggle not to pop threads. .....it fits right once its on.... Japs must have some narrow palms... anyways I use it in humid conditions.
Check out unlglove.

I am very particular with my equipment and once I am comfortable with something, I will not change. Kind of disappointed that I didn't purchase a lot of them and keep them in storage. I recently started my last available glove, so I at least have 3 to 4 months minimum before I will need to replace. Maybe they will have them back available by then, if not I will try the Kamui or Predator glove.

They posted a while back that a neighboring warehouse caught on fire and damaged their entire stock. Maybe they just never recovered. I have tried molinari, and kamui gloves, various sizes. I found that The cutoff fingers on both of them roll up, and create skin contact points on the shaft. While stroking, sometimes it would be smooth, and then when it catches skin, there would be resistance, throwing off a nice smooth stroke. I found myself constantly pulling the cutoff fingers back up. I looked for a full fingered glove to solve this issue, and found a 10 pack of these. I find them to be nicer than the expensive ones(no fingers rolling up), and, at about $1.60 per glove in a ten pack, they are 20x cheaper than a kamui or molinari. I know there are arguments over expensive chalks, shafts etc, but with the high end gloves, you are definitely just paying for the name that is stitched on them.

PNS at 10 bux is best bargain. My playing glove just had its third washing. All threading is ontact, fingers do not roll and color not faded. Check Ali Baba. Make sure you pay attention to shipping.
Maybe now, but if you look at their designs and the booths they had, it was close copies of Predator. Like how they did Poison on the low end, Molinari was the high end and 3C brand. Or Molinari did the brand and went to Predator for production and design help.
Here is a post from 2012 about Prdator and Molinari https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/the-molinari-predator-3c-cues-have-arrived.301371/

I find the covered fingers feel funny when bridging and overall feel when playing with covered fingers is odd. I have actually seen a few people play with what look like work gloves on with finger ends dangling from being too long. No idea how they do that.
Molinari was my older half-brother’s surname, and I bought the glove when I found the brand in memory of him. Once that one wears out, I’ll just have to store it and find another, it seems. I bought a box of their chalk, too, but they no longer make that, either.
Not wanting to hijack/redirect the thread. BUT why don't billiard gloves last longer? And why doesn't some manufacturer make them from longer lasting material? There has to be materials that last longer than most of the gloves I have owned in the past and most of those were pretty poor IMO.

They want you spending $30 on a new pair every 3-4 months.
Full finger gloves are definitely a no go for me. I really think it is very important to be able to feel the cloth. Having material at the end of the fingers feels really weird. Just look at all the pros, absolutely no pro plays with gloves that are full fingered and there is a reason for that.

how can the issue of the fingerless gloves rolling up the fingers be solved? I still have a molinari, and a kamui glove, but this issue drives me nuts. I constantly have to grab them and pull them down. At first i thought it was the size, and tried a smaller one hoping it would be tighter, but the problem continued.
dont use a fingerless glove??
