to glove or not to glove...

[Jack_Dubious]

No glove, no love...er....nevermind.. :P

I played one day without gloves and i got tagged on the palms on both hands....and they both broke the skin. Blue paint with red blood mixed in.

Other than that tho, i like the feel of my gun with gloves. Definately half finger gloves, better to feel the trigger, and when i reach into my pocket for some money for a fill.

I did not look at where everyone lived but I know down here in south florida, if I don't wear gloves then my hands get very slick from sweat and old paint.

So for me its not even an option, in fact I went to play a few weeks ago and forgot mine(I actually wear an old pair of mountain biking gloves) and I almost dropped my Micro.

Hand hits hurt, true, but more importantly I hate looking like and idiot as I dive into a bunker and leave my gun outside of it

I love gloves, i wear em all the time, wheter im driving, or going out, i just love gloves. and paintball gloves are the best kind.

I wear JT Premiers and they actually HELP me shoot better, because the end threading gets caught in my finger nail(*which i dont cut for this purpose*) and it actually pulls my finger back or makes it snap. I know that sounds weird, but I just found it worked for me.

Either way, I choose gloves, cuz they give me better grip, in my opinion, on the gun and also look perty with the right jersey...

goves are another part of safty equipment. i wear a pair of mechanics gloves cause the snap-on guy had them and they say a little more about me than a pair of jt gloves. i have never had the misfortune to take a hit in the hand without them. and when playing in the woods they help too move thorn bushes out of my bunker

I've never wornthem, but I should pick up a pair for those really cold days, because I don't have a pair and almost got frostbite, once. I'll get some in late fall, but it's too warm now.

[TransMan]

gloves all the way

[FutureMagOwner]

i only wear a glove on my left hand because that one is the one in front and most likely to get shot(from the front you would either hit my hand of my nuematics on my cocker) of course the one game i didnt wear a glove on my rand i got nailed right in the wrist wear the glove covers it(right in the freaking pulse too and ithe ball didnt break:o )

[Jonno06]

i wear my gloves...JT POWER gloves.They keep my hands warm....and it gives me more grip on my gun,and protection


i can also shoot faster with gloves on...

[HoppysMag]

Jonno, you live in florida. you dont need to be kept warm... LOL.

Umm, I wear gloves, it makes wiping paint off really easy, The palms in JT gloves are real absorbant. When you're playing games back to back and don't have time to go back to the dead box you just whipe off any old hits. Finger hits are pretty painful as well, isn't 300 FPS the limit BECAUSE any high velocity may cause damage to your fingers? Ofcourse 300 fps is only muzzle velocity. Ohhh and my palms sweat sometimes so it helps me keep a firm grip on everything, specially when running with a z-grip.

[Creative Mayhem]

gloves yes...... JT premier good I love the feel and "not" the feel. as for the sweat part, they breathe well but then again it doesn't matter what type of glove you have, they're gonna get sweaty and dirty. my .02

[Zygote]

The field strip screw on the intelliframe rubs against the skin at the base of my thumb unless I wear gloves. I haven't gotten a blister yets but it leaves a nice painful bruise.

[Clare]

for some reason I have a knack for constantly being shot in my left hand (mostly my knuckles), I wouldn't play without gloves that's for sure!

[FrAuStY]

X-plosive, yes.. anything over 300 fps and ou run the risk of breaking a finger bone. Gloves should be considered as safety equipment. The incident that led me to wearing gloves (now everytime I play, they are on my hands) was in the woods. I was standing about 20 feet from the oppsing team when BAM!! One person shot me right square in the back of the hand. Now I'm not a husky fella (kinda thin actually) and this close range hit on bare skin bursted the vein that runs across the back of your hand to delivered fresh blood to your fingers. I had a half-dollar sized bruise for over a week. Needless to say it was so painfull I couldn't even pull the trigger of my mag. I had to pack my $H&T up and go home. I also think the guy who shot me was shooting kinda hot. He was using Co2 and it was 90* outside in the shade. Regardless.. I NEVER play without them now.

[TheTramp]

That field strip screw is exactly why I started wearing gloves. I did get a blister. Now I wear them even if I'm not shooting my Mag.
