I have a deep groove from the string in my glove. Obviously I'm not the only one this has happened to.
Is it affecting my release?
How do I fix it?
Thanks Guys

Once a glove gets to that point I usually buy a new one. You might be able to wet the glove and put it over a form to remove the groove but I'd bet it would come right back.

I find that if a glove is stretched tightly over my fingertips, it doesn't have as much of a tendency to groove, plus in general seems to shoot better.  In a lesson with Rick Welch, he wanted me to try a glove rather than the tab I was using, so he loaned me his glove.  I was surprised that it fit me, as his hands are bigger than mine.  He said he always buys a size smaller than one that would comfortably fit him and forces it on his hand until it stretches to fit.  Since then, I have tried the same thing, which does seem to work better, and usually stretches to fit after being used for a few days.  One didn't, and it is now my loaner glove for people who have smaller hands than mine

That's what I do with a glove.  I won't buy one unless I can try it on first (sizes can vary), then I get one I can barely get my fingers in.  Once it's broken it, it's perfect.

Same-same McDave. I orginally bought my Big Shot Buffalo a size smaller so it would stretch to fit. It took a few years for a groove to show up. Did the same thing when I ordered my Kanagroo leather crossover. By the way neither has stretched that much and my hands sweat all the time I n all weather.

That's why I shoot with a tab.

I did the too small glove thing........by accident.  When I first decided to start shooting trad, I had no idea what I was doing.  I grabbed a glove off the shelf at Bass Pro with no thought about size.  Didn't realize it was too small until I had ripped all the tags off.  I wore it anyway and now, 3 years later, it's perfect.

so if I'm shooting a medium Damascus I should try a small?

Yes, Yes my friend
