So, I’m tired of string turning all oily after an hour, so I want a nice pair of gloves. Not really even a special yoyo pair of gloves, just a plain white pair . Would those work, and are there any certain ones that work better than others? ---

Billiards gloves work perfect ---

The best gloves I’ve found are “New feeling nylon gloves”, which you can find at another website. They last for a very long time and have just the right amount of friction. Seriously, they last five times longer than any other gloves (even billiards gloves) I have ever tried, and I have tried almost all of them. ---

Would those work, and are there any certain ones that work better than others? Wash your hands before you play. It helps a lot. I know it’s not always an option. ---

CVS, Rite Aid etc. sell plain white gloves. They’re small as they’re designed for women, but the Japanese gloves are also small, so if you have regular man-sized hands look elsewhere. ---

Queen of hearts nylon glove from amazon is great. It’s a full hand covering but it’s tight, which is a good thing. ---

Those plain white cotton gloves you can get from the supermarket cleaning aisle will work just fine. As for washing string. just chuck them into your jacket/pants pocket before chucking them into the washing machine. Yuki
