Hi since the whole soccerpulse down saga theres been a few threads that have gone missing.

So since the goalkeeper thread has gone missing and i came to check out the thread as im a goal keeper myself, thought it would be good to start up the thread again.

So if you have pics of the latest goalkeeper equipment then post them up with a litlle bit about them.

EDIT: ORIGINAL THREAD TEXT
Suggested GK Gear Shops:

http://betweenthesticks.com/catalog/
VERY reliable. Located in the USA, and has high end equipment.

www.great-save.co.uk
Also a nice site in the UK. I have ordered from them a couple of times, and they keep a great stock and have good service.
http://www.just-keepers.com/
Keeps a good stock of equipment. Sells the Paul Robinson black out Nike Tiempo.


GLOVE CUTS
In regardds to GK gloves, there are many different styles and cuts of the palms. I will try to explain some of the most popular!

Flat Palm
This is the most basic of all cuts, and also the most widely used. These can sometimes be paired with finger protection. They are sometimes known to have sloppy fits, due to the fact that they usually aren't too snug

Roll Finger
This glove offers a snugger fit, and adds a little more latex. It may take some getting used to if switching from other cuts of gloves, but the fit they offer is worth it.

Negative Cut
These aren't found too often in many brands, and are mainly used for SMU's (Special Make Up) for professional goalkeepers. They offer a very snug fit, especially gloves with latex gussets.

There are other cuts as well, mainly because companies like to combine two different cuts. (Like the Nike Vapor Grip3, with 2 flat palm and 3 rolled fingers)







Thanks for restarting this. To add a little to the thread...

just-keepers.com exclusive SMU, with new Sells Optima latex, which is supposed to be a mix of Super4 and Adhesion Ultra. They look fantastic!

They the ones I want in the New Year
I love them, look great!!

you no what i aint never had a pair of sells, mainly just been using adidas, nike, sondeico (sp) puma and umbro.

but the recent ones i got are the adidas response pro, im waiting at the mo to see what kinda of gloves will be released in 08 for the euro finals.

so any one got more info on forth coming gloves?

also does anyone know where i can get the long sleeve real madrid goalkeep top?

I've heard Sells is coming out with some new latexes in 08, including a glove that will cost 100 pounds ($200). Honestly, if you have not had the chance to try a pair of Sells you should try to. I've had about 4 or 5 pairs now and they have all been fantastic.

guys im selling some Size 10 T90 gunn cuts, in black for 40pounds, brand new never worn. PM me if you are interested

That should be in the Market Place, anyhow im planning to get Sells gloves, they look the best.

Just ordered HO Kontrol's from BetweenTheSticks.com.

http://www.betweenthesticks.com/catalog/im...&page=popup
By the way, BTS is having a great sale on some Sells, HO, Selsport and others right now, so I would check it out!

anyone know a website that would carry this jersey. i know its for rugby, but the rubberised material intrigues me last years adidas top before the onore had the rubberised forearms and i liked them (I'm sure they didnt really help much but i thought they were a cool idea!)

Glad to see this thread back up !

i just ordered WGK Avenger Glove from http://www.just-keepers.com/ take a look , they look pretty good for the price!


also has anyone got pics of the new Adidas Gloves comming out in January ?

they are already on soccer.com

im assuming they will be the same as relased in the UK

a new page:
www.keepersport.at

good site apart from no english

I modified the second post in the thread with explanations on glove cuts and a little buying guide for fellow goalkeepers that was in the original thread before the crash. Hope that helps.

isn't pro direct soccer a good website to get your keeper equipment from???

justkeepers.com and greatsave.com are much better

2008 Adidas Gloves



adidas TUNIT Starter Set



adidas Fingertip



adidas FS Alround Guard



adidas FS Cup Durable





adidas FS Ultimate



adidas FS Wet Grip

They havea huge range and all, but I prefer supprting the smaller companies, as they give you great service and a GK specific and REALLY know their products..

I'm very disappointed with the Adidas range. Everything about them seems a little off.

yea im not impressed with the range !! i have loved everything that have produced until this range , cant beat a good old pair of Fingertip e3s or e4s but now all the gloves look more like motobike gloves !!

Actually my Adidas Fingertip E6S have been good. Worn them in a couple of matches but mostly trainings and they were better than expected.

yea they are good gloves! i liked the way they looked , but now they look a bit gimmicky

does anyone know a site where you can get old adidas range? old fingertios and fingersaves?

not impressed by the adidas range at all

wat are they plain at!?!

??????// any new gloves
?????????

imo the ultimates look bad ass. those with the new black/red adidas jersey. SICK

just thought since in the boot room every one shows off there boots why not show off my glove collection.

got doubles in the adidas response and finger tips so no point taking more then on pic.

glove wash works wonders mate

dude get them gloves in the washing machine ! they will look 100000 times better

forget puttin them in the washin machine of glove wash there all old pair that i use for training or muck about

hench the discolouring the pair i use for match are the nike t90s

glove collection? who has more than a couple of pairs at a time... they only last a good season or so (match) then then a season of training... then they get tossed in the bin! now posting collections of keeper jerseys... give me a week or so...

well if u wanna do that a jersey collection go through and do that or any other keeper equipment collection, to help build up the thread

Just to list my gloves..

HO Kontrol (2007)
HO MGC II (2007)
Adidas Fingertip (2006-7)

Those are what I currently use. MGC for training and wet games. Fingertip for training and hot games. Kontrol are brand new, will be for high school matches.

last time i checked i had about 12 pairs......
i went through 6pairs last year and i was injured for quite a while... who ever posted that they get a full season out of a pair of gloves mustnt use them much, because im finished with match play with my gloves in about 2-3months....

i use a new pair of gloves every 5-10 games , seems to work ok for me

yeh same with me if im lucky ill get 10games out of 1pair......

well either you have a sponsorship, youve got alot of disposable income, or your teams defense is horrible! how many shots do you see in a game? 2-3 months seems a little extreme to me, but i guess if i could blow approx $100 every 3 months i would do it too! the last time i was able to go thru gloves that quickly was when nike was picking up the bill.

hmm i make atleast 20+ saves in a game, and what i usually do is save all my money for a month or so and blow it all at once to buy them at the start of the season, so i dont need to worry mid-season. whenever i have spare money i buy some gloves, and now that i have enough for pre-season and the season im fine and dont need to buy anymore till next year(09), possibly later. i have like 2-3cheaper pairs to train in if my old ones are no good, i train 5times a week for around 3hours of straight drills etc etc.
i havnt bought gloves since july and i havnt had a job since then either im only 17 btw.

20+ saves a game... watch an old tape of peter schmeichel and start yelling at defenders!

Score. Got these for free cause my friend got a pair of
http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/prodinfo.as...=6&BRAND=25
There nice I guess. Removable fingersaves and they feel nice to wear.

Looks like those need a really good wash..

I have ten pairs overall:

Cheap $10 Nike Kraken
Adidas FS Carbon 06 (dead, gift)
Adidas X-Tenso (dead, gift)
Adidas Response Pro (new)
HO Neo Inside II SMU
HO Enigma Pro (new)
HO Titan Pro (new)
HO Kontakt
Puma V-Kat
Voit Pro Ultra

I've been wanting to pick up a pair of Nikes with the contact foam.

has anyone had these before, if so is it a good buy for £35?

and if you know, what are uhlsport sizes like compared to selsport

hi ive had these for about 2/3 months now. they are good gloves and offer good wet weather grip. i got them for the full price ( damn you lol ) and find them as a good match glove. i must say tho they arent the most padded or shock absorbent gloves and are rather light. the durability so far seems very good and have hardly any wear. im getting the the selsport aqua 7 gloves.

wat size are you ? because pro-direct have got some very good gloves for sale. sells are probarly some of the best for wet weather. hope this helps.

p.s these gloves run quite baggy but fingers will fit fine. they are no where near as snug as selpsort so im not sure wat to say otherwise

cheers, i'm size 8 and i've only had one pair of uhlsport gloves before so i'm still not sure weather to get these.

and what sells gloves do you recomend.

trhey look like Motobike Gloves ! why dont you just stick to classic gloves that pro's use!(adidas fingertips , fingersaves, nike vapor 3 , sells wraps . all the gimmicks and special grip bolloxs is just a con.

so what gloves do you recommend then?

well it depends how serious you are about getting gloves ? are you playing at a high standard ? or just a friendly team ?

anyway my choise for a high qulaity glove would be (due to my exsperiances of them )
http://www.just-keepers.com/Merchant2/merc...;Category_Code=

i have had them and have lasted so long and amazing fit and grip

also

http://www.just-keepers.com/Merchant2/merc...;Category_Code=

great allaround glove!

hunt around for the best prices tho

both of these gloves are used by adidas and nike endorsed keepers (prob a SMU) but i would stick to gloves like that , instead of fancy grip tech and fuddyduddy gimmicks

thanks , i've been thinking about getting the adidas fingertip gloves but i've not decided yet.
