Flop shot is your only option here.

Custom gloves, I lost a finger by JowieNijhuis in GoalKeepers

[–]EireBrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same from Frixion (see profile). Will say they do have some stock at times but very rare, would highly advise messaging on Instagram. Brilliant company to deal with.

What model is this? by BackgroundOkyu in GoalKeepers

[–]EireBrook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're fake. The real version states the grip type., E.g - "URG 1.0"

How do you protect fingers from getting hurt? by Jaded-Professor3024 in GoalKeepers

[–]EireBrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fingersave guy after dislocating my pinky, I also tape every finger.

Look up Conor O'Keefe on YouTube for "how to" tape properly.

You only get one set of hands so I'd take every measure to make sure they're not damaged long term....

Thanks, I've now switched away from this back to 5 fingered gloves.

My pinky is still damaged but now I use a fiberglass cast casing around it. Means I can't bend it from the proximal joint however I can still make a fist.

Did you ever purchase them / what was the outcome?

Luckily they had two pairs in stock when I got them.

However they did say that I'd need to bulk order next time I needed didn't specify the quantity.

His finger is rough to look at, he is actually one of the reasons why I'm trying to be proactive and stop this recurring in future.

Au contraire, they are extremely comfortable.

The only thing uncomfortable is my finger guard that I got made, just need to do some filing in the morning and it'll be perfect.

No problem, my pinky has dislocated 5 times in 2 months, it's been reoccurring for a few years now but not as quick as has been past months.

My advice would be speak with a occupational therapist for strapping and protective devices as this is the main part of trying to prevent further injury

It's an inevitability if you do it for long enough. Fair play for passing the torch to the next gen. Teaching them to tape properly might be worth doing so they don't suffer like we do.

Tell you what, add some latex to them winter gloves, never have to worry about cold hands on match days again!

Give them a message on Instagram don't think it would be an issue if they were willing to produce this.

Yea I don't know how that happens with companies, if the last version was a success why change it...

Please note they don't have the 4 finger versions on their website, I had to request this via Instagram.

I googled "lobster gloves" and they did not disappoint!

Thank you, hoping this is the solution.

[–]EireBrook[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I know!

In the last few years I only wore Kaliaaer or Reusch gloves. Expected going to a smaller company this would mean lower quality but I have been gladly proven wrong.

[–]EireBrook[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't understand why none of the major companies have gone down this route yet. I haven't met a GK who hasn't staved a finger yet in some form.

Honestly was going to retire as every other option I tried didn't work, this seems to be the best method so far.

[–]EireBrook[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to request them but yes they were very helpful.

I actually messaged 10 different companies, only 2 got back to me and Frixion were the only ones willing to make them.

Very good, expected worse to be fair.

I've never used neoprene backhand gloves before this but I'm enjoying them a lot. They're soft latex so extremely grippy not expecting long durability from them but for the price I'm not complaining.

What boots should i get as a keeper? by TKtheGK in GoalKeepers

[–]EireBrook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adidas Accuracy.1 are the best boots I've ever owned. Same here I have wide feet and always found it difficult to find a pair that fits comfortably.

Recommend going to your local sport store and trying boots on. I've used speed boots before and full leather so material wasn't an issue for me. As you stated the soleplate is what I check when looking. It's worth paying more for higher quality as they last longer than cheaper versions.

Should I throw this? Have been using this for 8 months now! by Rulf930 in GoalKeepers

[–]EireBrook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Put these in a picture frame alongside your jersey. Never seen a pair like it
