Well-prepared gloves are the key to effective saves on the field. Here’s what you should do before a game or training to maximize your gloves’ grip performance. Follow a few simple steps to ensure your gloves are fully ready for action.
1. Latex Moistening
- About 20 minutes before putting on your gloves, turn on the tap and let a gentle stream of water lightly moisten your fingers.
- Run your damp fingers over the gripping latex surface to moisten it.
- Make sure the entire gripping surface is covered with a thin layer of water.
PRO TIP DEFENSA
Moisturized latex improves grip performance, allowing for a secure hold and more effective saves, even against the most challenging shots. This treatment also helps minimize latex wear during intense actions.
2. Preparation before the game
- After moistening, lay the gloves flat and let them dry slightly. This ensures the right balance between moisture and grip.
Why is proper glove preparation before a match important?
By following these simple rules, your gloves will always be ready for action, providing maximum effectiveness and comfort during every save. Take care of your equipment with the same care that wild cats defend their territory in the natural environment.
