Exploring the Diversity of Goalkeeper Glove Cuts

Understanding the Differences to Enhance Performance

Goalkeeper gloves are available in various cuts, each tailored to suit different preferences and playing styles. The flat cut, characterized by its traditional design, offers a roomy fit and reliable durability. In contrast, the roll finger cut provides a snugger feel with latex foam extending around the fingers, maximizing grip and control. For those seeking a closer fit, the negative cut places seams internally, enhancing ball contact and precision. Hybrid cuts combine features from multiple styles to offer a customized fit and improved flexibility. Ultimately, the choice of cut depends on individual preference and the specific demands of the goalkeeper’s playing style.

Here’s a description of the most common types of cuts:

ROLL FINGER

An extremely popular Goalkeeper Glove cut. The latex on this cut wraps/rolls all the way round the fingers from back to front. This creates the maximum latex to ball contact providing great catching security. A Roll Finger Goalkeeper Glove creates a more substantial feel on the hands in comparison with a Negative Cut or Hybrid style.

NEGATIVE CUT

This cut of Goalkeeper Glove creates a tighter more streamlined feel on the hands. A flat catching surface, internally/negatively stitched with latex gussets. This style of glove is perfect for the Goalkeeper who likes a tighter fit and more feel on the ball. The thumbs of Negative Cut gloves are also negatively stitched maintaining the tighter feel of the glove.

HYBRID CUT

This glove cut combines the best features of a Roll Finger and Negative Cut Goalkeeper glove, which is why it is referred to as a Hybrid Cut. The middle 2 fingers a Negatively/Internally stitched creating a tighter fit and feel on the middle 2 fingers. The outside (Index and Pinki) fingers are Rolled at the top providing more latex to ball contact and catching security.

ARGO ROLL CONTROL

This Goalkeeper Glove model provides the best features of a Roll Finger model but without any stitching at the base of the middle 2 fingers. The ARGO Roll Control Cut does not feel as substantial on the hands, which is why it is great when combined with Finger Protection Spines. The ARGO Roll Control Cut also helps to reduce finger twisting, providing great hand to ball contact.
