SVB sportin' a GLOVE in Nicaragua!!!

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.

Thats too funny

Henceforth, SVB's nickname will be "Superglove".
 
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

I just ordered a set of those finger slides. They should be waiting in the mail by the time I get home tomorrow. I'm looking forward to checking them out.
 
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!!!

Tap Tap!! :)

I also require a "hand panty" when I need to for those humid times. Want your hands to get sticky while you slide the taper of your shaft? (No pun intended and get your minds out of the gutter. :p )

I absolutely LOVE Nancy's product. It just works soooo damn well. and it does not say it, but mine has gone through the washing machine twice now (wife didnt check my pockets....) and come out perfectly clean. It really does make a difference!

That's fuggin funny! There are worse people that one could be compared to than Earl...

I am kind of one of the, "I maybe kind of wear a glove sometimes" crowd. I don't like it, but it's better than the alternative of having your cue squeak through your fingers.

Some people's hands sweat, yo. :confused:
 
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.

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.

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 do you care 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.
 
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? ;)

Right. It would clash with his pink w/mauve-striped shirt ;):D:D:D!!!

Maniac (wears a glove MOST of the time but considers himself a real man ALL of the time)
 
My wife used to wear a glove, but she kept losing it places, like in her case, in her car, in her purse, and one time she lost it on her hand.

My wife isn't so much the genius type.

Now she just uses powder. The main problem I see with the glove is that it's such a huge difference it becomes a crutch. When she finally gave up on the glove she literally couldn't shoot without it.

Personally, I use an open bridge so I don't have to worry about whether the cue is slick or not. Maybe once a month or so I'll have to wipe the cue off or smooth it, but other than that, I'm good powderless and gloveless.

Stop acting like I did something wrong. If you have a problem email Mr. Wilson and let him be the Judge.

Your defending a guy that alleged I was trying to smear someone's reputation is pretty infantile.

I suggest, since you wrongly came to a conclusion about me from my posts, that you get someone with a sense of humor to go over them again. Then go over the guys post you are defending, without any prejudices towards me.

I hope you find that it's blatantly insulting what the guy said about the op, myself, or any of the people I was being jocular with about a topic which we are all entitled to having our own opinion.

I know you're smart because you picked a good time to come at me. The vagina comment was the result of his post.

I still think the guys post is stupid, that will never change. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that you have made it a point that I may say offensive things to people such as yourself. I'm not going to try and understand this....I'll just accept it for future reference. In return, maybe you can go over some of these things and we can be friends later. I'm really not that big of a jerk. And it's ok to say Vagina, I didn't see any parental guidance labels when I logged in.
