A combination of the two styles
Negative Cut Glove
Description
A popular glove cut choice in Europe, especially in Germany. It is similar to the Flat-palm cut in that the palm is made of a single piece of latex.. This style of cut also has gussets between the palm and the backhand. The difference is that the stitching that attaches the latex palm to the gussets is done so that the seam is on the interior of the glove. As a result of this glove style fits snugger than a traditional flat palm, many consider it offer better ‘feel’ when catching and throwing. It fingers are not prone to twisting which results in better latex to ball contact when catching.
Those with slimmer hands may prefer this cut. In fact, this style has been known to be marketed as a women’s cut because it fits slimmer hands better than a traditional cut glove.
Roll-Finger Glove
Description
This style has gained popularity in recent years. It is very popular with goalkeepers in Great Britain. This style does not use gussets. Instead the palm is attached directly to the backhand, which results in the latex rolled or wrapped around the fingers. This style fits snugger than traditional flat palm. It also has the best ball contact as the cut ensures that latex is always in contact with the ball when catching or throwing. As a result many consider this to provide better ‘feel’ when catching. Some however find that it feels bulkier than the other styles.
This style is also popular with female keepers as it fits snugger than Flatpalms.
