Features and Benefits
What kind of benefits will you get after wearing these gloves? below is our verdict after putting them through their paces on the court!
- Improve Quickness
Each glove weighs around 1 pound; this isn’t much, but while you are practicing with these gloves, this little weight provides some resistance when dribbling, shooting and passing.
After 30 minutes wearing these gloves we could definitely notice the extra weight. We took them off to play again with bare hands and it felt like our hands were playing with no gravity!

We felt we had to concentrate much harder when wearing the Powderhandz basketball gloves. They make catching and dribbling the ball harder and in turn should improve your technique when playing without them.

When the gloves are on they snug and comfortable with little wiggle room. The top of the gloves have a breathable fabric and an adjustable velcro strap to provide great comfort along with the best support for your wrist.

These gloves come with anti-friction material and a 4-way nylon stretch fabric that guarantee durability and comfort also. Compared to the other gloves available in the market, we found these to be the most comfortable and durable one.
