Kamui. It's a really nice glove.
I have used the Predator yellow/black glove and the fabric is thinner (which is good) and the stitches are stronger than the cheaper Sir Joseph glove. How does the Kamui glove compare?
I have used predator gloves for a couple of years and thought the quality dropped (stitching coming loose after 2 weeks!). I switched to a longoni glove and while it's quality is superior to the predator it is very pricey ($25). I am interested if anyone here has tried the Molinari glove being touted on az streaming.
Mollinari gloves are excellent... Kumai look nice also. Predator gives were great but I think they changed manufacture because the quality is now worse then sir Joseph.
Mollinari are excellent. They don't seem to wear or stretch out
Gloves
I like this glove: Well stitched, finger & thumb tips open (better feel on rail shots), leather on palm heel & they hold up well. $12 retail, made by Action

I also use the glove from cuestix , Last me all yr .
Jayson let me check out his glove during the Ginky Memorial. It's really well designed. I myself use a Molinari glove which I absolutely love. It is well stitched and the palm being mesh allows your hand to breathe. The Kamui is of the same quality in my opinion.
It's about time we actually get to use a glove that the stitches don't pop open while your down on the game winning shot!
I say Molinari vs Kamui is a pick em. Matter of preference. Hope this helps.
Also, with regard to your question about the comparison to the Predator (Sorry, I did not disregard your question intentionally), I have never used the Predator so I'm not sure how it matches up. The Kamui is solid though IMHO.
I got a Kamui glove from Seybert's about two weeks ago. As you expect from Kaumi, it's very solid and high quality. It does have a leather palm piece. The inside-hand/palm area is an open mesh material which might make it more breathable.
The fingers are open but a little bit longer than I'm used to. At first I thought it would be a problem and I'd have to trim off 1/4" off each finger, but I've gotten used to it.
It's a toss-up of either paying $25 for a glove that will last a long time or go through 2-3 $8 gloves every year. I mean, all gloves basically work the same; it's just a quality/price thing.

Shane van Boening was using an Action glove in this CSI video against Ko Pin Yi:

That does about sum it up lol I used sir Joseph for years but they stretch out so easily and the stitches were falling out new in the package. I did check out Kumai at the expo they feel almost identical to the mollinari They even come in a box like the mollinari lol maybe the same manufacture
You can get the Mollinari glove for $14.04 from http://www.3cushioncues.com/Molinari_Gloves/p2041797_9361553.aspx
it took me a while to get used to the fingertip-less Kamui glove, but I like it now. Before that, IBS and Felice gloves were my favorite. A few years back I came across a Falcon glove, which I really liked, but can't find it anymore. What makes the difference to me with gloves is the material and how much feel I lose with the cue going through my fingers. With the sureshot, action, and some other brands, I really didn't like how they felt.
