Instructions

    • 1

      Look at gloves a size or two bigger than your hands. A bigger surface area gives you a better chance of deflecting the ball.

    • 2

      Try on numerous pairs of gloves.

    • 3

      Inspect gloves carefully. They're not cheap so make sure they're put together well.

    • 4

      Make sure the velcro strap around your wrist fastens snugly.

    • 5

      Check the stitching carefully.

    • 6

      Wiggle your fingers around inside the gloves to determine if they are too big. You need to be able to move each individual finger without too much resistance from your other fingers.

    • 7

      Choose comfortable gloves because you're going to spend lots of time with them on.
