Has anyone managed to form a view on the new GN Legend Hypertac palms yet or is it too early?

Thanks Jake, I tried them on at Uzi and they seemed nice but just a bit unsure about what the grip will be like on those palms. Considering how expensive they are I would like to be confident they will perform. Did the GN guys say much about the new palm?

Not much really, I assumed they were silicon coated like those ones aero have released, and whilst not quite the same, I guess the principle is the same, the palm is supposed to be more 'sticky' which can only help right?

To be honest, for the quality of glove, I don't think they are expensive when compared to the kookaburra haddin (players in 2013) gloves.

I think the whole sticky palm business is a bit of a gimmick to be honest

.

From the brief experience I had wearing them and handling a ball with them at the trade show, it certainly did no harm, so gimmick maybe, but if it boosts people's confidence then it's a useful placebo.

Yes, It could be useful in that way! How sticky is the palm is self? Would grass etc stick to it if you took a dive?

Cheers for the feedback, true in comparison to top Kooks but those are obscenely priced in my opinion

My Keeping kit for 2013. Same as last year. Might invest in a pair of the new GN legend gloves closer to the start of the season

Hoping I won't have to keep as much this year but if I do I'll be using the same kit as last year: GN Powerbow 500 gloves with Puma inners and GM 606 pads.
