Puma FUTURE Grip Hybrid

The hybrid cut combines different finger constructions to give you the best of both worlds: the close, tactile feel of a negative cut with the increased surface area of a roll finger. It is designed to provide a secure, snug fit while maximizing the latex contact area on the ball.

The knitted backhand is engineered for flexibility and breathability rather than heavy-duty padding. While it offers excellent range of motion, it is a lighter-weight material, so you should expect it to show wear faster than a traditional, thick foam backhand if you play on abrasive surfaces.

Yes, the slip-on construction is designed to provide a streamlined, secure fit without the bulk of a traditional strap. Because it relies on the elasticity of the knitted material, it is crucial to ensure you have the correct size so the glove stays firmly in place during dives and catches.

The silicone punching zone adds a layer of texture and structure to the backhand, which helps you direct the ball with more control when punching. It provides a bit more friction and impact absorption than a standard fabric backhand, making it easier to clear the ball decisively.

To keep the latex tacky, dampen the palms with a little water before use and wash them gently with lukewarm water after every match to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid drying them in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the latex to dry out and crack.
