well, I know the maker of slovenian gloves and i can tell you that he is not making them for cave like hockey players. He's been developing them for 6 years now, trying them out in every possible situation, designing them for players like benson - most of our guys are training those skills because there are 40 players in slovenia and most of them are cave men so we have to somehow make the best of our training, we are trying to skill in a total mess :? . So Mare designed a glove which has to be really flexible in the game, beside that he's one of our most creative skill wackoes. The stick in that glove can slide really well and you don't feel stretching. This glove is not made for bashing!!!! It's for Michael Jordan like playing. Yes you can even destroy it, well mine was custom made on my hand and lasted 3 months before I noticed a crack on it, after it was repaird and this time more solid than before the crack re-apeared. The only thing wrong on it was my playing - well today my gloves last much longer than before. Mare's gloves are good and lot's of european players all over are now ordering them, the problem today is getting them.
