UMD engineering PhDs from the Complex Fluids and Nanomaterials Laboratory teamed up with former Terps and Ravens player Matt Furstenburg and entrepreneur Harry Geller to improve athletes’ grip and reduce waste. #UMDinnovates
Dan TheMan it's funny how he said he doesn't believe in gloves and he said gloves don't help him catch if you don't believe me search up the evolution of one handed catches and if you wanna get straight to it start at 2:40
...and yet applying any sticky substances to your hands is cheating. This is the problem with football - buy brand new “gloves” every other practice and they turn a blind eye. Apply the same adhesives to the glove and no one cares. But if you’re a kid, nobody will tell you that this is mandatory equipment... because no one wants to address the blatant cheating.
Before I saw this I play football and could not catch a ball because my gloves had no grip on them and now after I saw this I got a game winning one handed catch in the end zone having this substance on my gloves thank you so much guys and it's good to see you use left over crab shells and not being wasteful keep up the good work guys😊
Well no shot u need to know how to catch the ball. But it’s really gonna be helpful if u have this sticky shit cause when your about to get hit and balls in the air ur finna need to catch and hold on to it so yeah u need to know how to catch but that little extra help, generally will always help
Lvcid IOS yeah you’re right it WILL help but you don’t see people like obj using this. Learn how to catch and your fine moron This sticky stuff is just cheating you don’t have to do anything other than put out your hands holy crap
*steps out of time machine* What cool new inventions are there in 2016?!? "We put glue on our football gloves" *gets back into time machine and leaves*
NFL players get brand new gloves for free, every game. They don't need this product. But someone who pays 40-60 dollars for a pair of receiver gloves, which the tack DOES wear off after only a couple of games. You don't want to spend 40-60 dollars for a new pair every month.
I either practice without gloves or with old gloves, so I get good at catching with bad grip (makes your hands stronger) then for games I use this with my game gloves (used o my in games). Works really well, I can catch great without gloves so when I have them on it’s like the ball is glued to my hands
***** Sounds just like a brand new pair if gloves to me. It only repairs the tack on your worn out gloves. If you used this on a new glove it would have no effect.
FaZe starling64 I agree, the only hard part would be when the goalies want to throw it it could stick to their hand and not throw if you know what I'm saying
yeah dude I been thinking that for a long time. but like don't make a glove with that cushion that wears out make it with a different type of material like rubber or something
Pine tar doesn’t enhance to the player or bat. It just gives grip so they don’t lose it when swinging.. this product allows players to grip a ball way better than normal gloves or hands giving them an advantage.. that’s why pine tar was banned🤦🏻♂️
Stuff works.Helped me make a difficult catch on the championship game that extended the drive and led to a score right before halftime to give us the lead.We won
You guys should try doing this for soccer goal keepers, the foam on the gloves does come off but, I think if you create a solution to keep applying to a new pair will prevent the foam from flying off during games.
Ok people saying this is cheating.. it does not give any extra stick at all to the football gloves, it just restores tack to the gloves as if they were brand new. If you put these on brand new gloves it would not change the performance of them at all. Gloves just help stop the rotation of the ball they don't necessarily stick to the ball at all unless your gloves are over the amount of tackiness they can legally have in your league.
nathan lesenciuc quarterbacks don't wear gloves, a few do but they can just wear the ones they've always worn. This grip is made for eligible receivers primarily.
I'm not sure why this is in my recommeded videos unless RU-vid is stalking me, but I went to UMD while Matt was there and it seemed like he caught every other pass in the games I went to. Cool to see the school again since I don't live in MD.
If you do t want to spend money a easy trick I use is spit in the palm of your gloves and rub it in it will get really slippery but if you keep on rubbing it starts to get really sticky
the people that think it’s cheating don’t even understand the point of the product, it’s not supposed to add more tack to your gloves, it’s supposed to turn old and used gloves back to new. that’s why using this on brand new gloves would do nothing to the glove because the tack is already there.
The chemist literally doing everything i was told not to do in chemistry , touching chemicals bare handed, putting their face over a bucket containing chemicals etc
It's a lie I got some and it would peel off after one to four catches and make it very hard to catch plus it would leave a really bad mess on my football so I dont recomend this and also it doesn't work for nike gloves
Pro tip: Its basically just hand sanitizer. Like literally you can just put hand sanitizer on your gloves, it will do the exact same thing. Or just use spit if you don't wanna buy hand sanitizer.
This is legal because stickum can be applied to the bare hands and be sticky. This stuff just puts an extra layer of polymer. It sticks nowhere as near as stickum
If the gloves' friction still complies with NOCSAE's lab tests, or is still within the friction window allowed when this substance is applied, then these would be deemed legal for NFL or CFB use.
Everyone saying, “you don’t have skill if you use these.” Your wrong. You still need the right catching form and you use the grip boost to make sure you SECURE the catch
