Explain to me the difference between wearing a glove for golf, which is completely accepted, and wearing a glove for pool, which for you seems to entail some sort of stereotype?
Personally most annoying thing in pool.
- Thread starter risky biz
- Start date
It's very annoying, especially when the people working there give them the table right next to you
Because he's clueless. I guess he's not aware that some of THE FINEST players on the planet use gloves.
He's obviously just more of a man than those glove wearers
This is even funnier when you say it using Johnny Carson's voice.
You are correct sir
Hiyoooooooo
Some non-glove wearers seem to have the same problem……maybe you’d like to talk to these guys…You glove wearers got you panties in a bunch over a piece of fabric.
….I don’t wear a glove, btw…my hands tend to stay dry…if I played in Manila or NOLA, I’d wear a glove

I'm just asking what's the benefit to wearing one
If you have to ask, you don’t need one.

Seems to be that way. And if i ask why everyone gets upset over it.
Because it pretty much means either you’re not a pool player or you’re just trolling, or both!

i come back to pool after a few years of a break and everyone is wearing a glove and not one damn person has a reason as to wear one.

My hands stay dry so I usually don't wear one but do put one on when the friction between my bridge hand and cue shaft gets high enough to make me feel like I have to add something to the stroke.
So ye, that is the allure of a glove. The entire point is to limit friction as much as possible and to keep the level of friction consistent.
I'll take a poolroom full of gloved bridge hands over one covered in baby powder. Pool glove is def an upgrade over powders in the dealing with clammy hands department.

The main difference is golf glove improves friction and keeps your hand in better shape while pool glove reduces friction and keeps your shaft in better shape.
But ye, both very useful.
That said, I don't use either because I don't look good in a dress
It's called hyperhidrosis. Had it my whole life. Can't stand powder everywhere and it's a lot more convenient. Now you have a reason. You hate gloves...SO DON'T WEAR ONE! What's next on your list? You hate boxers? Briefs? Maybe you get annoyed if someone shakes it more than twice? I'm sure you'll let EVERYONE know at least a thousand times
Rupaul might disagree!That said, I don't use either because I don't look good in a dress

Yikes, I think you just insulted 30% of this forum.
