Protecting your goalkeeper fingers
Posted by ZPro Futbol staff on Nov 2nd 2018
We can go argue for the next few years whether finger-saves really PROTECTS the goalkeeper fingers or not at all. The fact is we've seen lots of goalkeepers with broken or jammed fingers while wearing EXPENSIVE "ORTHOPEDIC" goalkeeper gloves. In fact, we will show a broken finger from one a goalkeeper who just about had it with finger saves and its hype.
If you as goalkeeper feel "secure" wearing finger saves then by all mean continue. However, we work with many professional goalkeepers who wear our gloves and train with us, who literally refuse to wear finger-saves because they say it LIMITS THEIR FINGER MOVEMENTS....In other words, your finger have restricted freedom and can cause more damage. Our gloves will not carry finger-saves for this reason, fingers & hand restricted movement and there is no real protection as we have witnessed kids with broken fingers despite of the expensive keeper gloves with finger saves.
We would like to offer another alternative for finger protections. That is, finger wrap with KT TAPE. THis video will provide you with the step by step instructions to protect your fingers, add extra security but still provides your fingers with freedom and normal grip-force. Many keepers today use this technique because is simply more comfortable than have finger-saves pulling and tugging your fingers.
This few min videos will add interesting ideas to protect your fingers. Is not difficult and it only takes roughly few min to get it done. You can also do it yourself and not worry about having an expert or trainer.
Again, if you love wearing finger saves or you believe they will protect your hand by all means keep wearing them. But if you are like thousands of keepers who are searching for flexible fingers and freedom but still want some protection then check out our video!!
