i recently purchased a brand new racquect Ektelon Oł Blue Racquet Ball Racquet as i have started to play more seriously with friends and even in leagues at my health club. For the record i am a "B" or "B+" rated player, not that has any influence on the product but i had never considered the difference in playing with a better racquect and or a glove because my previous starter racquect always fit my needs and the fairly infrequent misplaced shots were never a concern or factored that much into my play.

After having played a few games with my new racquect with people who i have previously beat i realized my control and placement were off because the racquect was shifting slightly when i was playing.

I spent about 17.99 at a local big sports store for this glove, and feel its a greater improvement to my game that my 79.99 racquect was.

The actual glove is super super sticky and tacky, i can actually still hear it peel off the grip after playing or when going for water. Ive used the glove for about 3 or 4 sessions now and noticed some of the seams are splitting a little and some strings are loose, but structurally it is still sound. If one game it actually splits i plan on asking Ektelon for a replacement and will update my review should that happen.

Great product, if you are dead set on purchasing from amazon however i would suggest going to a sports store and simply opening a few packages and trying the gloves out before actually buying one, because the sizes and strange. Most stores should be ok with you doing this as long as you repackage them appropriately, if youre uncomfortable with this, simply ask.

I have 4 pairs of different Ektelon glove. This is a very good one. The other most recent one with the Koolmax material and some padding on the back of the glove are not very good for playing. Buy this model.

I used this glove for about two weeks and there is a significant amount of wear in the grip of the glove and a seam opened up in the index finger near the knuckle. Additionally its not padded well enough and I've gotten blisters and sores through the glove.

After reading reviews for different glove options I decided to go with this one and was quite satisfied during my first experience, but right in the middle of the 4th session (I play once a week for about 1.5 hrs.) the stitching in one of the fingers came loose (I can see the tip of my finger).

While this hasn't severely affected the purpose of the glove it's quite discouraging that what seemed a well constructed item showed an important defect so quickly.

I wonder if the rest of the stitching will also become loose soon.

I'm giving it 3 stars because other than such quality flaw it provides a firm grip and materials seem of good quality.

For the price of this glove on Amazon, I wouldn't use any other glove. Light weight and tacky. I've used the Head gloves and I ended up throwing them away so I wouldn't use them again.

Although the glove is a racquetball glove I purchased it as a driving glove. It is the second I have bought in five years. I love it for its feel of the wheel, its quick on and off due to the velcrow feature. I thought the price was a tad too high, though.

This is a great mid-range workhorse glove that delivers. As long as you don't let it get soaking wet it will last longer than most on the market and it keeps a decent mid-level tackiness throughout its life.

It's a great glove, the only negative I can say is that it's TOO sticky. Doesn't seem like that should be a problem, but it takes some getting used to. Though I'm sure it'll wear off a bit with use.

Very comfortable! The palm material is nice and tacky so holding on to my racquet is easy and blister free. I highly recommend this glove. The price is right too.

At this time, there is a 1 star rating by someone for this glove. I don't know why folks give crappy ratings for products when there are shipping issues. A shipping issue does not mean the product is crappy.

Anyways, I digress.

I came across this glove on Amazon and ordered it due to the great reviews folks were giving it. While I waited for it to arrive I played a few games bare handed which I figured would be a great way to compare once I did get the glove.

The glove finally arrived and I have to say - it makes a world of a difference. The racket no longer rotated in my hand and I was able to craft the shots I wanted to do.

The great thing is that I don't feel any of the stitching or seams and it starts to feel like second skin as I play more and more with it.
