How to Choose the Best Goalkeeper Gloves?
The choice of goalkeeper gloves is important. The best grip is achieved with latex-coated palms. Fit should be snug but allow for movement without slipping. Gloves that have finger protection can reduce the risk of injury from hyperextension. Also, consider the type or padding.
