Every day at West Coast we get questions about whether or not a keeper should use finger saves. This post hopes to help you make a choice, show what some our pros do and explain why every pair of West Coast Gloves comes with removable finger saves.
One of the most common emails we get is concerns wear on the bottom of a palm.
A simple way to make your palms last is to make a fist when Pushing Up from the Turf.
Coming off of his 2nd MLS Cup win, Stefan Frei was ready for a change. He had worn the same brand of gloves his entire career. So why change? Stefan tried our gloves in 1 training session, after just 1 training session his decision was made.
