Hi All,
Just to let you guys/girls know that my new brand, to be called "Sharp Save", is due to be coming very soon. I have designed my own gloves with drawings and countless hours of work and effort, in trying to listen to what goalkeepers want in a glove, through opinions, thoughts and ideas through keepers who I train with, local keepers of mine (who I have met and talked to), and ones on the Glove Bag, through other forums and discussions.
My aim is to provide all goalkeepers (who choose my product) with quality gloves at very reasonable prices, through my best service that I can provide.
I hope to post pictures (the sketches) of the first model, the Reaktor, up on here soon, for you guys/girls to give me both your opinions and thoughts.. They will feature 4mm Latex palm (will most likely be Supersoft) which would be for the start Roll Finger, Extended latex palm, split web between index and thumb, full rolled latex on thumb, Latex Backhand with Grooves(similar to selsport), 9cm bandage wrist entry, and my own feature of the wrist-strap being a two way fitting scheme, will extend from the extended palm and wrap over one another(2 sides) . I hope that, if successful enough, I would consider designing other cuts for the same model.
Anyways, be on the lookout, hope to deal with some of you guys/girls in the near future!
Best Regards, Daniel

Sounds quite interesting mate...cant wait to see it
Best of luck with the business too mate
We take joy by taking the joy from players and spectators.....
Daniel,
Good luck with the new busines mate.
My only concern is that you mentioned your backhand has grooved latex which is simlar to Selsport and there have been to many Selsport 'Clones' coming out over the past couple of years.
If your glove is similar to this it probably wont go down to well on this board.
Just food for thought mate, but i wish you all the best anyway.

Thanks to all you for your best wishes.
The glove is still in its final stage of design, the backhand is going to be sampled in both grooved latex and embossed latex. I would most probably go for the embossed latex, but I will let you guys know all the details as soon as I can get them.
Here are some of the first rough sketches of the Reaktor, there are some minor changes to it, but the features itself stay the same. The price of them would most be likely around the 15-20 pound mark.
Any ideas/thought? Color changes, etc? All opinions will be really appriciated.
Thanks, Daniel
Very much liking the look of these gloves. Only thing I would change is the wrist strap to be honest! The normal wrap around strap works much better imho, if it ain't broke don't fix it ;)
Other than that an excellent design, can't wait to see the gloves themselves.
I like the design. I think it's original and I certainly love the red/black combo
good luck
Dida still needs a team! lol
Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!
Keepers are criticised and praised, its the keepers choice to decide what to listen to.
I think they look quite alright tbh.....the red trim on the black looks very nice
i also agree in saying that these gloves look good. Original design, nice colour combo and great price. i'd try a pair of these.
They remind me of old Ubro models cosmetically.......
Hey Guys, what can I say! Thanks for all your interest and comments, its all being taken on board.
Just a question though, like what iampepe said, should the glove be with a standard wraparound wriststrap/ or should I stick with the 2-way one-on-another band? Any ideas/opinions?
Thanks guys once again, keep the comments coming!
Best regards, Daniel
Prefer the normal wrap around wrist. Ive found the two way band hard to get right sometimes, and your also grabbing the hard velcro with the glove which doesnt help with the wear and tear of the palm.
Do love the design aswell mate, looks very good.
Personally I prefer the normal wrap-around wrist band...but its your product, so its your choice and I would consider trying it either way
Guys, I have decided I'll go for a normal wraparound wriststrap, like what gkpaul said, it would hinder the gloves when you are putting the glove on a two way strap. I also think that the normal wraparound strap would help for a more secure fit.
Just some more opinions needed to help my choice, I am thinking of either getting an embossed backhand with no grooves, or one with grooves? I know that grooves remind people alot of selsport, but what do you guys think?
Thanks Guys again, its been a pleasure. Best regards, Daniel
sounds and look good mate
Think the Logo looks good and takes nothing away from glove,
but makes me think of the Selsport Eurowrap ( and oldskool sondico), + if your using
grooves, it mite not have enough of its own idenity.
colour scheme, and description of glove looks great definetly interested.
goodluck
