[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protecting the fingers is absolutely paramount for GK's.   Not interested in having my kid go all the way to NCAA D1 and have arthritis at age 30.   "Most Top Quality GK Coaches" are also paid to support a brand or glove so anonymous OP saying 'they all" recommend not using finger saves just sounds lazy or complicit.  The grip is about strength training, mental toughness, and natural athletic ability. Latex is not the issue.  [/quote]

Wrong on multiple points. Ive been playing the goalkeeper position over 20 yrs. I played travel all the way thru D1 college and semi pro. You will rarely see any goalkeepers above about the U12 use finger saves in their gloves. I personally found the Nike VG3 to be to best glove. They do wear out faster than others and can be a little expensive. They  tend to have the best combination of fit and grip for me. I  have worn Westcoast a few times. For me they are just to big and bulky and seem to be designed to make a parry easier than a catch. I do suggest having a separate training and game glove and to wash your gloves at least once per week.[/quote]
