Oh okay; a present. Interesting. The prices are listed on the website. I buy directly from the website and they'll ship to Malaysia. After conversion; still cheaper than what you find in Malaysia.

In Malaysia; only Adidas gloves are the latest models range. Even the Nike is at least 6 months old. And they tend to only stock the lower model range.

Added on March 6, 2009, 4:04 pmLesson number 1. Change your name from Khai. Try something manly; like Kha-isu-ijai. Try to avoid names like Howard as it's kinda sissy.
Lesson number 2. Wear tighter shirts. If you can find shirts that'll emphasize your cleavage; even better.
Lesson number 3. Try not to move before someone kicks the ball. You'll discover that you can actually save the ball if you were in the direction of the ball.

That'll be RM100 please.

yeah...i read bout u guys always directly from website..
but thats my problem...i dunno how to buy online lol...
do u know bout adidas glove..can u give me some info bout adidas glove ?
im a big fan of adidas lol...

Erm; what other info would you like? I think I've already said my experiences with the 2 Adidas FS gloves. I've also used the 2008 model Adidas FS Replique. Stay away as it's quite awful.

Don't know how to buy? Ermm; just read the descriptions and see whether you like the gloves? There's nothing much to it?

anyhing laa... owwhhh really..
how bout adidas response pro ?
then what glove can u suggest me ?

I've already given my suggestions. If you're really keen on Adidas FS gloves; this one seems alright; but I think it's just a souped-up model and mixture of the FS Carbon and the strengths of the 2008 Fingersave though:

No thumb protectors though. To be honest; I've no opinions 'bout the Response pro 'cause I've never used it before and not interested in it 'cause it doesn't have any FS. Has it arrived in Malaysia yet; the 2009 Response Pro?

owhhh..okay2..
u like glove with FS eh.. ?
hurmxz..dunno laa..maybe not ??
hey ..can u tell me how to buy online ??

Well; it's not that I like. I used to use without; until I had couple of finger injuries 'cause my teammates and in tournies; everyone shoots like shit and their shots tend to see first before hearing the sound. So fingers lotsa injuries.

how to buy online? Use credit card lorr.

owhhh..well same like ...but know im getting used with all that damn shots after wear a glove...n practise a lots with my friends..nw if im wearing a glove..i do not have to worry bout fingers injuries anymore..
yeah...thats my big prob..dont have credit card.. ahahhaa...
its look like i have to shops here only maaa... adoiiii...

Well; if you find something you like; I'm sure we can arrange a group buy or something like that.

Maybe my fingers are soft or something larr; but most normal people's shot I can use normal gloves and no problems. But my teammates and some of the better teams we've played against; must really use FS gloves or else fingers will just be too sore or you'll end up having to parry too many shots away.

owhhh..okay2.. so if u guys want shops anything inform me lol..
i can join u guyss...
owhhh...in game,u like to catch a ball eh ?
usually i only parry the shots away n seldom catch the ball..
coz my friends or the teams that we've played against always shots in short distance n i have to parry that shots...
the FS gloves really protect the fingers eh ?

Response Pro ? In Malaysia ? Sure ?

I used to be a fan of rollfinger gloves. Adidas Fingertip Replique & Puma King 4.0 are the only rollfinger gloves I know exists in Malaysia. Response Pro is negative cut. Preferred by Van Der Sar & Pepe Reina. I can vouch for Fingertip Replique, it's one of the best gloves I've ever owned.

Glozz is a glove freak. Even I dun own as many as he does.

you certainly thought that LYN is only accessible by you...

anyway, glozz, i'm looking for a new glove, let me know when is your next order date, i'll tag along

only now I thinking bout going back between the sticks.. but on last futsal session where I try to gather my skill back..

all my team mates are shit..leaving me alone 2 vs 1 against strikers.. manage to save all 1v1 but then their team mates hit the rebound.. i hate my team mate..

ah and thinking about a new pair of glove...main kinda hard already all this years.. which one offer more safety to my palm eh guys? i`m not updated in glove..

Aiyarrr; was just helping out slyyoung. Come come, I sayang.

Added on March 7, 2009, 12:28 amCatching ball where necessary is a safer option especially for futsal where rebounds can be easily poached. If got to parry; best to parry for corner.

FS gloves do protect; up to a certain point. However, it does so at the expense of catching technique.

Added on March 7, 2009, 12:29 amI'm still undecided between rollfinger, normal and negative cut gloves. Each has pros and cons. I guess it depends on the individual. Well; unfortunately I wear through gloves relatively fast. That's not a good thing.

owwhh...orait...
nw thats my big weakness now...i cant barely catch the ball..
my catching technique is a lil bit poor..dats y i always parry the shots away..
coz im not a natural keeper...still new in this position..n still need learn a lot of things...n thx to u guys..i learn many things in this thread...

Catching technique? Well; the only way to fix that is you've got to do drills to catch the ball. Try getting someone to toss the ball at you while you're doing sit-ups. That'll help 'bit.

Alternatively; another drill is to place 2 balls either side of you and you stand in the middle. You can do 3 different type of dives (from crouching, from mid-level crouch, and from ready position) at the ball and catch the ball as you finish the dive.

thx glozz..it helps me alots !!
i was so happy with my performence on saturday night..
only concede 4 goal only..n manage to make a clean sheet on last game.. yay !!

glozz,
Whats a rollfinger, normal and negative cut glove?

Here 'ya go:

http://blog.great-save.com/glove-cut-review/

In practise; it all depends on what you want. In my personal opinion; I feel Roll-finger gloves are the easiest gloves to get used to because it offers a large finger-to-ball contact area as compared to the other cuts without sacrificing cushioning.

I believe the preference is however; up to you. The negative cuts tend to offer a similar feel as the roll-finger; but since the latex is nearer to the fingers, cushioning is sacrificed.

Best would be to try it out and once again; try not to use new gloves that you've not worn before for important matches and tournaments. Get 'couple of friendlies into them so as to get used to the feel first.
