Hi, when I wear yoyo gloves I use the thick cotton ones you can get a dollar a pair in the winter. Are the silk gloves (like the Duncan glove) better? Do they give more grip? I can’t snap start the yoyo with the cotton gloves on. Do they protect just as much from string burn? The cotton ones get kind of hot. ---

They’re not silk. They’re Spandex. And they’re smoother, but a tad hard to snap still ---

They fit to the hand better considering they are made of a stretch material and you get the correct size. ---

I’d recommend these gloves. They’re full hand and high quality for a cheap price of $10 for a pair (vs $12 for one partial duncan glove) > **[Queen of Hearts nylon glove review](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,62767.0.html)** > > So, I’ve been searching for the best yoyo gloves for a while. So, I’ve been working through the gloves sections of Amazon trying to find what suits me best. There’s always some issue that I have with them - they loosely fit, they dirty strings... Generally you want a nylon/spandex glove. Full spandex aren’t as good. The duncan glove is nylon/spandex. Snap starting with gloves can be very difficult. I’d recommend hand starting, as seen here, except rather than using your thumb, put the string between your middle and ring finger. > **[YoYoExpert.com - Advanced - Hand Starting Dead Yo-Yo](https://yoyoexpert.com/learn/032-advanced-hand-start.php)** > > Re-starting the yo-yo spin with your hand from YoYoExpert.com. ---

I just didn’t remember the name and thought hand start would be to generic, haha. And I meant spandex, not silk. Another name/memory slip
