I think the gel palm is the basic game ready palm. IIRC Vaughn gloves usually have a "GEL TEC" logo in the palm. Although I think it just means it is heat moldable.

SaveByRichter35 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 News to me as well. I thought all Vaughn Pro gear was mad in either the US shop or the Canada shop and the Senior gear and below were off shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's a bit misleading. I guess just as misleading as saying there is carbon fiber in their gear lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I was told once that the only carbon in the Vaughn "carbon" is the carbon pigment in the ink printed on the plastics. I wish a retailer would have a display of what is really inside of the "carbon" gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sliding the padding around looking for the carbon. I couldn't find black sheets of it. It's my understanding that it's sandwiched between foam and cannot be seen. I would love a pic like this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Ask and you shall receive... Vaughn just sent me these. Clearly a fair amount of carbon fiber and NOT just paint in the SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, my industry uses a lot of "carbon filled" plastic materials that a lot people misunderstand to be carbon fiber. I could see how this gets confusing.
