I asked him about the glove a few weeks ago and his response was pretty funny. Here it is pretty much verbatim:
Me: You use the glove because of the humidity?
SVB: I been using it for about a month. Its smooth I like it.
SVB: I'm turning into Earl.
Me: I'll order your ass weights.

Ah yes, let the homophobes and testosterone-challenged come out of the woodwork!
Why on earth does anyone care if Shane (or *any* pool player, for that matter) wears a glove? I mean it's one way (of many) to solve the humidity / hyperhidrosis / sticking shaft problem. It's not an affront to -- nor is an indicator of -- anyone's "manhood." But it appears we have quite the populace here in the pool community who think it is.
Personally, I don't use a glove, because I personally need to feel the table underneath my fingers / palm (in cases where my palm is touching the table). I do have a couple sets of Nancy Cote's "FingerSlides" product -- which are special finger wraps that only cover the parts of the fingers that contact the shaft -- but I really only need to use those in very humid conditions. (Otherwise, a couple dabs of corn starch does the trick for me -- much better and less messy than talc.) However, if the "feeling the table" thing wasn't an issue with me, you can bet I'd have no qualms about using a glove.
I just don't get it. There's nothing wrong with using a glove, if it helps solve a problem for the person using it. Gloves are used in quite a lot of sports (including the batter in that most "manly" of sports, baseball). Those that criticize the "manliness" or "fashion" of a pool glove should really look in the mirror. Yeah, those paint-splotched dungarees and faded T-shirts are, like, yeah man, very en vogue! Now smile and let us all see that every-other-tooth-missing grin!
-Sean <-- hopes that the glove helps Shane play even better, to shut the critics up
Everyone made fun when he played with a Cuetech and now because he's playing with a hand panty. I hate hand chalk and hand panties but, down here on the coast of SC, the humidity is killer. I pull out my hand panty before going to all that powder and if washing my hands doesn't work. I can't imagine how hot & humid it is where he's at. I would only start to worry if he starts sporting a retractable chalk holder from his belt.Go Shane!!!

I love how some wannabe comes on here and attempts to smear a champion.
Hey, are YOU playing in Managua? Do you have any idea of the average summer heat and humidity?
Managua, Nicaragua forecast calls for 90 degree + temps and thunderstorms every day for next ten days.
Get your ass to Managua next time and show us how YOU deal with it.
I keep a glove in my case, and if I really feel I need it, I will use it. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can kiss my butt.

REAL MEN wear a GLOVE.
Take a chill pill dude. No one is trying to smear anyone. If you like your hand looking like a vagina, it's ok. Shane would probably laugh at these jokes, so don't get your panties in a bunch over a few guys trying to have a few laughs.

Even if that is the case, which I'm not saying that it is, the real man in question would surely never wear a periwinkle blue glove, right?![]()
I've read some of your posts, you like to bait someone into a argument then act surprised when someone lets you have it. what someones hand looks like? Is anyone forcing you to wear one? I have never understood the need to make fun of people who are trying something different. If it help them great, thats what you should take away from this.
People that make such comments are just plain ignorant of the situation. Grow up a little or be quiet while the big boys are talking.
