Women seem less likely to wear a glove

[9Ballr]

Jeanette has said publicly that her family sews her gloves for her.
"At a fundraiser for a relief effort in Waco, she played opponents for donations and the winner got her glove"

Very gracious lady.

Very interesting information.
Had no idea.
Doesn't mean she can't find a regular one that fits.

I thought that it was the women that started the glove use in pool.

Men wouldn't wear them as it was then considered to be too feminine.

Looks like we've come a full circle.....lol

Men, not women need the protection

Why does it seem that women are less likely to wear a glove?
I'm not saying there are none who do, just looks like it's a lot fewer than the men.
I've been watching several female matches and none of the one's I've seen so far seem to have this need that the men do to wear a glove.
Seems weird.

Also, why were players a few decades, or even just a few years, ago, perfectly able to play amazing games with no gloves?
Look at Fats, Mosconi, Efren, Bustamente etc. etc...

Is this glove graze just a fad that will run its course like so many other things seem to do in the world of pool?


Right now watching this match by the way:
