seagoal Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Gonna try this out. Pretty happy with the feel at home. Having trouble with my new Bauer glove not feeling tight and one reason was the thumb and pinky loops coming loose too easily. Simple hack with slider clasps that will allow some adjustments but will stay tight once set. Edited May 22, 2023 by seagoal 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckstopper Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think it's pretty cool. I spend FOREVER trying to get these right, so I'm looking forward to trying this out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 4 for $10 at a fabric store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey34 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I use the pinky one loosely just to separate my fingers but not the thumb one at all because I hate the way it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same for all gloves or you or just the Bauer Mach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always good to nail down what you like and don't like, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDS-MN Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I like the idea. I can't tie knots for S#%$, never have really gained that skill. But recently found these tails that were previously untouched on my Vaughn glove, and finally tightening them has made a WORLD of difference in the feel and responsiveness of the glove. Never had anyone teach me that there were adjustments to be made there, before. My first glove was just dialed in right by previous owner i guess, that I never had need to mess with it. Currently have some semblance of a knot, or maybe a tangle, but it has held for a few games at least. But the slider is a good thought, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love this glove now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncho Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Yeah when I tie knots with leather it never seems to land where it supposed to and then it stretches as I'm making the knot. I'll give this a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdeFIN Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 This is so easy add-on that it beats out the knots. For me though, I love the loops and the contact they make to the glove. Best thumb loops ever are on Vaughn when they had 3 straps and the loop was almost as long as my thumb. And for those who make knots and are happy with that, like me. Just make one knot per strap and don't even try to knot the straps together. Trick to get them right is check first the right fit, then pull the strap out and make a knot about where you had the right fit. Notice that the materials where the straps come through are not fixed so you have to push them in as if you had your finger pulling the loop. Those clasps just sound so easy! But I wanna stay old school and make knots 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeGoalie Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Just did this to an I’ll fitting glove that I completely customized the internals too. It’s such an easy and helpful mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
