    Adding Grip To Your Glove?

    I have the All-Star Gripstar glove.
    As expected, the dots started to wear off, completely falling off the glove.

    Instead of buying another of the same glove, I was wondering if there's anything I could put on the glove to enhance the grip in the areas where the dots fell off. A spray perhaps? I dunno. Help me out here please.

    Try either Gorilla Snot or Bass Rosin. Bass Rosin, however, will get a little runny if too warm, but by runny, it stays together pretty well, just gets a little more gooey. Gorilla Snot works fairly well as well. The Bass Rosin may be easier to apply though (It's meant to be used on the entire Bass Bow and can be 'put up' to the height you need or you can tear a little off the paper cup) as the Gorilla Snot comes in a little tub.

    Either you are joking, or it's a brand I'm unaware of. I'm not sure if I dare to Google that.

    Gorilla is a brand of glue.

    Try adding grip to your grip. Not joking, some tennis racquet overgrips are quite good in providing tack as well as cushioning. Plus this way, you don't have to replace your glove for the purposes of those silly dots.

    Actually, Gorilla Snot isn't glue. Gorilla Glue is the glue, there is stuff that guitarists use to give their fingers a little more stick to the pick. It's really sticky stuff.

    Use Stick' Em' like retired Okland Raiders cornerback Lester Hays used to do.

    He used so much of the stuff (all over his uniform) that if a ball hit his back, it would stick there instead of bouncing off.

    This http://www.powrwrap.com/golftac.htm stuff works pretty well
    I'm a foil fencer, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
