The Black Spider^® Goalkeeper Glove

 

Features & Benefits of the Patented Black Spider Design

Interconnected Fingers	AutoWrap® effect: Fingers automatically wrap around ball, significantly increasing ability to hold, parry and deflect the ball on impact. The fingers also support each other providing more deflection capability than any other design on the market. "The harder the shot, the better it sticks"
Wrist Anchor	Greater strength for finger leverage against back- and side-bending forces. This allows the forearm to supply additional deflection power even when the ball is only contacted by fingertips.
Natural Anatomic Design	Curved shape of glove further strengthens leverage effect of wrist-anchored webbing. Also increases distance and accuracy of throws. Accuracy of throws enhanced by full perimeter banding.
Removable Finger Stays	While this webbed model is designed to function independently, optional finger stays are included for added support, if desired. Various configurations are possible.
More Efficient Engineering	Naturally engineered like your own hand - it’s easier to pull forward than to push from behind. By putting reinforcement on palm side, much lighter and more flexible materials can therefore be used.
Natural Feel	Above features produce reinforcement so light and flexible you can’t feel it, yet it is strong enough to stop International-Class shots!

Nature. Improved.

Look at your hand. The muscle is thickest on the palm side, right? The reason for that is simple. The hand is made for grasping objects on the palm side. It is more efficient engineering to do that by pulling from the front rather than by pushing from the back. Nature knows that. The hyperextension protection models of all other glove companies restrict back-bending of the fingers with hard, heavy plastic reinforcement on the back of the hand. This is neither natural nor efficient. As a consequence, their gloves are stiff and feel unnatural and bulky. Our patented glove reinforcement is located on the palm-side of the hand. By interconnecting your fingers and thumb in a continuous web anchored to the wrist, they now support each other against back- and side-bending forces. The reinforcement material is so light and flexible that you can’t feel it, yet it is strong enough to stop International-Class shots! Once you get used to the curvature of our glove, you will be able to throw the ball further and with greater accuracy. This is because the glove curvature consistently controls and extends your release, much like a lacrosse stick or Jai-Alai wicker basket (aka Cesta). Our webbed design also improves your ability to hold on to the ball, especially balls caught off-center, by the automatic “wrap-around” affect created in the interconnected fingers. We call this the AutoWrap feature. AutoWrap does not occur with the back-of-the-hand reinforcement design used by all other glove manufacturers. So, this glove will help you deflect, stop, hold on to and throw the ball better with much less bulk and a completely natural feel, and improve your technique, while reducing the impact of back- and side-bending forces to your hand and fingers.
