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. Link to post Share on other sites

SaveByRichter35 932 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 post Share on other sites

SaveByRichter35 932 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 post Share on other sites

bunnyman666 1,087 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

Hills 112 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 There was a big stink about this on GGSU, with them lighting it on fire as well. I am not sure what the end outcome was but it was an interesting thing to see. Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
