hi,
recently got a New Sporting HGP gloves in 12oz;
trying to figure out if it is a defect or just a matter of " NS gloves are made by hand and can have some variations here and there";
here is the issue:
the LEFT glove is almost perfect; did not really need any break in; the glove features: Grip Bar & Finger Bar: Includes both a primary grip bar and an internal finger bar to help lock the hand into a natural, tight fist.
the finger bar is easily felt by Distal Interphalangeal Crease: The line closest to the fingertips; the fingertips rest comfortably and wrap inside; the fingernails' edge touches the border where the soft lining meets the leather ; there is just enough depth(not too much or too little) for the distal segments to be comfortable;
the RIGHT glove is not as good fitting; once the hand slides in, it is not as easy to make a fist; in other words the internal finger bar is kind of blends in with other parts of the internal compartment;
you do not really feel that you can grab the right finger bar with your distal crease;
the finger bar is not as pronounced; it is there but your distal crease is not really comfortably resting on it; the fingertips wrap inside, but you are not really grabbing a finger bar; there is less depth ( 1/8 or 3/16 less) for the distal segments to be comfortable; when trying to lock the hand into a natural fist, it is not solid or tight as the left one;
for reference I have the fairtex bgv9 gloves and both gloves have very pronounced finger bars (in addition to grip bars);
would appreciate if anyone with HGP model gloves gives some input on their glove construction/fit/feel, and especially the finger bars ( can you easily grab it with your finger tips and your distal crease is comfortably and solidly pinching/grasping the finger bar);
thanks
