    None. They make it too hard to type.

    nice one Duck.

    for indoor , I just wear what ever I can find %50 of.
    Outdoor I am currently using Adidas Figersave something ( white and blue ). I didn't like them at first but after about two games I wouldn't play without them.

    In what sense are they falling apart? The seams have ripped?

    the foam is coming off in chunks. i don't tumble dry them, and i wipe them down after i play and i let them air dry. i'm really confused about why this keeps on happening!!

    Do you air-dry them in sunlight? The latex they use for most gloves doesn't like excess exposure to sunlight. Unfortunately, keeping them stored in the dark breeds some interesting and verrrry bad-smelling bacteria.

    When I wash them, I take them into the shower and put them under the shower head. Make sure the water isn't too hot (colder the better). I then squeeze the water out. Make sure you squeeze as much water out as possible.

    Then when I dry them, i put them on a coat hanger (1 glove/side) and then put it in the closet. Make sure it's out of sunlgiht (drys out the latex). If you wnat them to dry faster, open a window.

    Right now a pair of Adidas Fingersaves. I also have a pair of older Fingersaves I can use. I'm switching over to Diadora because that's what my school will pay for and are sponsored by.

    No, I wore Adidas gloves all last year for the same school. They're actually pretty cool about it. The only reason why I'm going to Diadora is because they're free. We also get Diadora boots, but they couldn't find a pair that would fit me(size 13) so they let me pick out a pair with their money.

    A high school season is what, three months long? You should use a glove that gets you through three months. Anything over $80 might be too much unless you're going to play club after. Anything under $40 though won't last very long, the grip will go away pretty fast.

    They aren't a big company like adidas/reusch/uhlsport etc but they make awesome gloves for the price.

    eS3... I like the eS3's, but for $10 less, I prefer the Titanium's... Grip is mostly the same, but the foam's a bit more durable.

    I've even tried wearing Nike gloves, but I didn't like the grip. (Too slick) Speaking of Nike, have any of you tried the new Vapor Grip gloves? Ughh.

    There's no such thing as Fingersave Ti3's...it's either Ti's (titanium) or ES3's (extreme supersoft)
