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.
