Shooting gloves?

[BALLAHOLLIC]

Does anybody know where to find specific gloves for shooting a basketball in cold weather? I'm sure they make special gloves for it somewhere but I can't seem to find any.

I have never heard of them. I just either use hand warmers (warm up my hands and then take a shot) or the old fashioned "rub your hands together as fast as you can" method.

Or you can not be a pussy and play in the cold. I always play in the freezing cold since I live in New England and it doesn't affect my shot.

Poor Easties. It gets down to 60 degrees here in the very coldest parts of the winter in the afternoon.

On the subject, cold or not, I have trouble with gripping the ball well. Any suggestions? Certain powder or something?

Wow sounds like everyone on here are girls when it comes to playing in the cold. It was like 40 today and I had shorts and a t-shirt on. I played basketball outside after school in them and I had not a single problem handling the ball or anything. Maybe I'm just that damn good, or maybe you guys just suck at playing in the cold.

It is not that I don't want to play in the cold because I can't take it, it is that I need to feel my fingertips. How I shoot, dribble, and play all relies on my fingertips, I have to be able to feel the ball, its rotation, its release, things like that. When it gets cold out, and I can't feel my fingertips, my game suffers greatly, but the cold itself doesn't bother me. Although I must admit I wish it didn't get cold so fast where I am at, I wasn't ready for the warm backyard football weather to end.

But I cant now, and when I shoot(any weather) and ball tends to slip a bit and I F*ck up my shot. My coach tells me I have a good stroke, just slips from my hands. So all this time ive been saying I shoot like ass, its just not good grip. Any suggestions to help it?

I just warm up my hands by rubbing them together or using gloves. My hands get stiff in the cold and I can't shoot well.

 

[BrewCityBuck]

My advice instead of wasting money and buying gloves...grow a pair.

 

[BALLAHOLLIC]

I'm not saying I don't shoot without gloves. It would just be nice to do so because I play in the snow and the ball gets slippery also.

 

[Something-To-Say]

Ahhhh are you gonna whine about a slippery ball like the NBA players?

j/k

 

[WELCOMEtotheJUNGLE]

be a man use your hands... :brucelee: hahaHonestly, I have never ever heard of anything like that. What about gloves that QB's use in football? I'd imagine they'd work with a basketball too.

It's called YMCA or Community Center just go there an play Basketball. Why would you need gloves.

 

[ElMaster]

Here's my trick:All you gotta do is rub your hands.....oh, wait, it's hot as hell here.

 

[nba dogmatist]

gloves for shooting? seems pretty pointless, but hey, whatever.

[Justice]

I don't think he'll be able to grow a pair of gloves...

But not like anyone would be playing any outdoor ball in those temperatures with 3 feet of snow.I hate Winterpeg weather...

 

[dsounG]

^^Word up. -4 Weather? Lmao. That's funny. I can play normally like that. When I say stiff I mean -20+ weather. And it's normally like that in WinterFAG.

 

[Fabolous]

When my hands get cold I just run a little bit and they get warm. However if that doesn't work for you, simply pop a boner and grab your hot rod with your hands and they'll warm up. And please do it in private. :dribble:
