Is this okey for a professional snooker player to wear gloves to smothen up the stroke ?

Question

I have seen pool players wearing it , but i have never seen a professional snooker player wearing one.

Answer 1

If it works for you... Who can argue when you sink that unsinkable shot.

Answer 2

Sure, if they feel it gives them an advantage.  I personally hate those gloves, but some people like them.  Whatever floats the boat.

Answer 3

It's perfectly legal to wear a glove if that's what you're asking. There are some things at the pro tournament level that should typically be constant though.

The room is comfortably climate controlled which means the humidity is substantially reduced, thus avoiding a players hands to become sticky and dragging on the shaft of their cue.

Their cues are a very high quality and the condition of the shaft is well maintained so as not to have dirt and grime bedded in the pores of the wood.

Their strokes are simply refined with years of experience regardless of surrounding circumstances. Quite frankly, I suspect that male professional players find them, what shall we say, too feminine.

I hope that helps to answer your question.

Answer 4

I'm not a big fan of the glove, but they are completely legal. I've seen a few professionals wearing them, but they don't evidently have a big appeal. They may come in handy if you have a problem with sweaty hands or it's very humid.

Answer 5

Yes. I know a proffessional who wears one.

His name is Jeff Cundy.

Answer 6

I have one in my case but hardly ever wear it just in a long session my fingers get a little tender
