Finger Jackets™ are designed to give users the grip they are looking for in a football glove, with the ability to actually feel the natural leather of the football in the palm of their hand. Or, it is never in constant contact with your palm! The material either bunches up, and forms ridges. Or it stretches out across your palm, and forms a void, in your palm (void= area where glove material is no
t in contact with the palm, but stretches across and covers your palm, creating space/void). Fun Fact: In 2019, most of the players who fumbled the football, were players actually wearing football gloves (https://www.footballdb.com/statistics/nfl/player-stats/fumbles/2019/regular-season). What causes the fumble: the material covering the palm. This is especially true, if players choose to wear smaller/tighter fitting football gloves or with players having smaller hands. This happens because the material covering the palm, becomes stretched across the palm, which forces the ball to be carried between the fingers, mostly, and not be seated deep within the palm of the hand. Where the ball is supposed to sit! The tighter the fitting the glove, the more this void is apparent, and the more it forces the ball to not seat properly, deeper in the palm of the hand. This is exacerbated by players with smaller hands. Gripping the football can be difficult with smaller hands. Adding a void in the palm that forces the ball between the fingers, causes additional problems for those with small hands. If the material in the palm bunches up, and does not lay flat or in contact with the palm, user sensation is diminished. Covering the palm with extra material diminishes tactile response in the palm. When this material either bunches up, or is spread across the palm, creating this void, tactile response/user touch in the palm, is further lost.
