About this product
Goal Keeper Gloves Adidas – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
adidas goalkeeper gloves with finger protection – Fingersave is adidas’s trade name for it.
What finger protection is: a set of semi-rigid plastic or composite spines sewn into the backhand along each finger, sometimes removable. They limit how far the finger can bend backwards. A ball struck hard into a fingertip is the classic mechanism for a sprained or dislocated finger joint, and the spines cap that backward travel. They are a mechanical stop, and that is the whole of it – they add no grip, they do not prevent fractures, and they will not make a save easier.
Whether a young keeper should wear them is a genuine coaching debate rather than a settled question, and you should hear both sides. In favour: fewer sprained and hyperextended fingers, which for a keeper playing several times a week is the most persistent nagging injury there is, and the confidence to punch and parry without flinching. Against, specifically for juniors: the spines stiffen the hand and blunt the feel for the ball, and a young keeper is still learning how to shape the hands and absorb pace – a technique best learned with an unencumbered hand. There is also a real risk that the spines become a crutch, so the finger and forearm strength and the correct catching shape never develop.
Our honest position: if your keeper is young and still learning to catch, a standard glove teaches better hand shape. If they have had a finger injury, or they are facing hard shooting, fingersave is worth it. Gloves with removable spines let you have both.
One thing we are confirming before publishing a model name. adidas put finger protection across several lines – Predator and Copa most of all – at several price tiers from around thirty pounds to over a hundred. We would rather read the six-character article code off the cuff than guess, because selling a Copa as a Predator is a returns problem. Ask us and we will tell you exactly which pair we hold.
