I like some opinions. I was looking through a sport equipment catalog this morning and saw several pages of gloves designed for wide recievers in football. It started me thinking if these might not be a better option for a keeper since they represent the cutting edge in gripping apparel. No matter what brand of glove buy or how much we spend I find my daughter only gets a couple of games of "premium" use out of a new pair of gloves. After that the tack is starting to wear and it's not uncommon to have tears or wear in the fingers appear. Might these type of gloves actually be a more helpful catching the ball?

I was thinking of that myself but then several of my daughter's keeper coaches have them train specifically without gloves. Her hands are good but not great. The type of gloves I am talking about took the place of stickum, I'm wondering if they could have a dramatic impact on the qualiity of a keeper's hands and is that worth trading off the padding?
