Suggestions for a glove

I prefer to play without a glove, but I will use one if the friction on my hand increases significantly during a session, which seems to be fairly common.

The one I am using is a Pro Series brand(84% Nylon, 16% Spandex). I'm not happy with it. In when rubbed on direction, the fabric is mostly slick and smooth. However, in the other direction, it is like fine grain sand paper. I can feel the additional friction, and after shooting with it for a while, can hear the shaft "sliding" through the gloved bridge, which can be very distracting.

Does anyone have a glove that they like well? If so, what kind of fabric is it made from? What brand is it? Where did you find it?

Thanks in advance.

When I use a glove, I use a Sir Josephs glove. I have tried some of the others, but keep coming back to the Sir Josephs. They are well made, and last a long time...best of all, they come in sizes, for a better fit. I have pretty small hands, so this was a bonus for me. I have always gotten them from Seyberts, as they have always seemed to have the best price, and best selection of sizes and colors, and fast, inexpensive shipping. Will likely be ordering another one soon. Also Muellers carries them for about the same price, but I think their shipping costs were higher, and slower.

I rely on Sir Joseph gloves. It's what I started with and am happy with. It takes a "worry" variable out of my preshot routine.

I posted in the past that I felt that a glove could also teach how to get away from a bad habit when addressing the cue ball.

When your glove gets holes in it, it's due to poor approach with your bridge hand. Holes are usually caused by friction of table felt when you "slide" into your shot, instead of being deliberate and "setting" your bridge hand.

In my opinion, a glove will help you learn the fundamentals of doing a "dead recogning". Set your start point, observe your objective point, and observe your contact point. Plus, it helps keep body moisture from deteriorating your shaft, and hand chalk is the Devil to wood (unless high quality wax is burnished into it).
 
I like the Sir Joseph glove too. I went around a big mountain, to keep from wearing that silly looking thing, but now, I would fight you if I couldn't wear it, when needed.

I live in Oklahoma, where the humidity can be higher than the temperature & not be raining. Our local Pool Room has really hot & humid conditions at times, because the proprietor chooses not to run the AC.

My suggestion is to buy a Sir Joseph glove, NOW. Please buy a LARGE, so if you do not like it, please send it to me. My address is shown on my webpage. Good Luck...
