Does anyone know how to remove salt(perspiration) from racquetball dried up leather gloves?

Looking for some chemical solution before applying just a leather preservative like mink oil in order to restore the glove to the soft new unwrinkled, unshrunken glove.

Saddle soap is what you use to clean leather. follow the directions on the can when you get it. you can usually find it in the shoe polish aisle at the supermarket. or try a hardware store. good luck.

The handball is an ace magnum ball NOT the soft ones. What's the difference between a racquetball glove and a handball glove, anyway?

There is really no difference between them. If you go to the ektelon website they have the same glove for racquetball and handball.

Can I use a racquetball glove to play handball with?

Read heading please.

Yea. theres no difference between racquet glove and handball gloves

I know this has been asked before, but I looked on Modell's website and noticed they have a selection of Ektelon racquetball gloves, and I don't know if every racquetball glove is good for handball.

Why do people wear a glove to play racquetball, but not tennis?

Grip is important for both of these sports, so why the difference in glove usage?

A good racquetball swing requires a hard snapping of the wrist. Because the racquet is light and small, this wrist snap not only generates alot of speed but also increases accuracy. Wearing a glove, especially a tacky one, aids the player in holding on to the racquet while snapping the wrist. This is also why racquetball racquets have a strap - to keep the racquet from flying off if one loses one's grip. Tennis, on the other hand, requires a greater variety of grip pressures and grip "feel" for different shots - drop shots, overheads, lobs, topspins, etc. Snapping the wrist is not necessary, nor effective, with most of these tennis shots and a glove would reduce the "feel" of the shot. Also, tennis is most often played in warm temperature conditions and perspiration could easily become an issue while wearing a glove.

I haven't purchased one because I get really sweaty when I play. I've looked at the Ektelon Coolmax Ice, but dunno if it'll help.

Using a glove makes a big difference in racquetball, without one your hand can get sore if you have a worn grip and they help protect from blisters, i agree that ektelon makes great grips and have used the coolmax myself, loving it, make sure you get the right size glove you dont want one that is too big or too small and i would recommend that once you find a glove that you like, buy 6-8 of them so that you can rotate, i have always been told, but never tried it, that gloves can't go through the washer so to switch often and let them air out to dry
