How can I maintain the grip on my goalkeeper gloves as best as possible?
As a goalkeeper, you want to have control over the ball at all times. After all, you are your team's last line of defense, the one who can prevent a goal. How do you maintain your goalkeeper gloves? Below are some tips to keep the grip on your goalkeeper gloves as high as possible.
The grip that goalkeeper gloves have comes from the material used for the palm, which is latex. This material makes the gloves slightly "sticky" and able to provide a good grip on the ball. The thickness of this latex affects your performance. When the latex is thicker, you'll experience more support and protection in your gloves. The thinner the latex of the goalkeeper gloves, the better the contact with the ball will be. On average, the latex of a goalkeeper glove is 3 or 4 mm thick. View all goalkeeper gloves here.

There are several ways to strengthen your grip on the ball. For example, it's always a good idea to wet your goalkeeper gloves before your training or match.
