How To Choose The Maintenance Method Of Goalkeeper Gloves

1. Glove palm

The palm of the glove and fingers are used to grasp the ball together, so good grip is an important evaluation index of goalkeeper gloves. Senior goalkeeper gloves generally have strong grip and thick palms made of top materials. The types of glove palms include smooth, concave convex and textured. Textured or concave convex palm surface is more durable and more suitable for practice

2. Wrist strap

The wrist strap of gloves is mainly used to fix gloves. Goalkeeper gloves usually have elastic and adjustable wristbands that can be used to tighten and loosen gloves, and generally have a vent to help keep hands cool and dry. The wrist strap of gloves is very similar to a medical bandage. It has a certain elasticity and can be firmly wrapped on the wrist. Bandage wristband is wrapping and not slippery, which is also the choice of most goalkeepers

3. Fingers

Fingers are the key to catching and protecting the ball. The cut and size of gloves will determine the fit of gloves. Some goalkeepers like to be loose, which is more free, and others prefer to fit closely, which is easier to control and safer

4. Cuts clipping

The cutting of goalkeeper gloves is very important for goalkeepers, which affects the comfort of wearing and the control of the ball when saving. So far, the development of goalkeeper gloves has derived a variety of cutting methods, including flat sewing, internal sewing, pipe finger, and mixed cutting

Flat sewing: as the most traditional cutting method of goalkeeper gloves, the flat sewing cut gloves are composed of two parts: the palm and the back of the hand. The two parts are sewn together by the method of exposed open thread, giving you the most traditional experience of wearing goalkeeper gloves

Inner sewing: inner sewing looks much more advanced than the previous method. The glove is still composed of palm surface and back of hand, but the sewing interface is hidden inside the glove. This advantage is that it can make the fingers of the glove fit more closely, and enhance the flexibility of the hand and the control of the ball

Tube finger: the tube finger should be a cutting method that can give the most direct touch to both hands and the ball. This is a cutting method that wraps the latex around your fingers like a bandage. It can give the gloves a larger touch area and better control the football when saving. Its disadvantage is inflexibility and poor air permeability. At present, finger gloves should be the most popular goalkeeper

Mixed tailoring: as the name suggests, it is to integrate the above three tailoring methods into a pair of gloves. Of course, the purpose is to make gloves more comfortable to wear and further improve the control of football when saving

5. Palm grip

Why is the price of a pair of gloves so different? The biggest difference is its grip. Generally speaking, the more expensive the glove, the better the grip. Cheap gloves have better durability and lower cost, but the grip is poorer, which is more suitable for teenagers or beginners. At this stage, the focus of learning is more on basic skills and fighting, and the stickiness of gloves is not so important

6. Finger protection

Finger protection is a tool inserted into the back of goalkeeper gloves to protect fingers, which is more popular in teenagers and amateur competitions. There are two main types of finger protection: rigid finger protection and flexible finger protection

Rigid finger protection can be bent forward, but not backward, to prevent excessive bending of fingers, which is the most common method of finger protection. The flexible finger guard can be bent forward and backward to maintain the flexibility of the fingers while supporting and damping. For goalkeepers with injured or easily injured fingers, I still recommend using finger protection. Finger guards can protect our fingers as well as leg guards

II. Goalkeeper glove maintenance

1. Rinse gently and carefully with clean water. The water flow should not be too large, and it is better to be comfortable. After washing, put it in a cool place to dry. Remember not to dry it or dry it in the sun, let alone dry it. Otherwise, too high temperature will damage the leather of gloves, which is easy to wrinkle and damage

2. Wash gloves immediately after competition and training. The temperature of water should not exceed 30 degrees centigrade. Use a sponge to remove the dirt on the surface, but do not wear the palm gum. You have to use detergent. If the field is particularly slippery, you should use old gloves for pre competition practice, and then put on new gloves during the competition. It is worth noting that old gloves can be used during training. Before the competition, they should be replaced or renewed according to the conditions of the venue and weather conditions, or according to their own preferences

3. Wet the palm of the glove before the game, which is conducive to improving the ball catching effect. When there is a danger of direct or indirect set pieces in front of our penalty area, or before the other party is ready to take a penalty, the goalkeeper will habitually spit some saliva on the palm of the glove to moisten it, enhance friction and resistance, so as to control the power and strength of the ball, protect fingers, reduce the degree of hand injury, and better complete the defense of the ball. Note that in rainy days, the goalkeeper must bring a towel, wipe and protect the gloves to ensure that the gloves are clean when his side is in a large-scale attack or during the half-way game
