Compared to some of the competition this looks a little dated but, please, don't let this deter you from getting this device. To put it plain: it just works!

I purchased a Storm C4 before buying this glove. Despite being an XL, the C4 ended up being too small on my wrist and painful on my knuckles. So, I went to Robby's Revs.

First, the padding is absolutely great. It's padded not only on the back of the hand but, on the wrist as well. So, you shouldn't get chafing or discomfort from wearing it. The back of my hand did get a little sweaty though but, a little toweling and/or air-drying kept that from being a concern.

In terms of performance, it's great. It only has 4 cup positions. I only used the bottom for when I wanted to hook and the top for shooting spares. It took a couple of games but, I got the hang of it.

The lateral adjustments were also quick and easy to use. In no time, I was able to angle it out for when I wanted more rotation on the ball and back to a neutral position for hitting spares in the corners.

So, how good is it? For the first time in a long time, I had an above-200 game.

Needless to say, this one's staying in the bag.

For me, this glove gave me two problems.

This first was just annoying. When I would cup my wrist, the clasp would come undone. I tried playing with it looser and tighter but, regardless of how I adjusted it, it would simple come undone from time to time.

The big problem for me however is that this glove is a knuckle-buster. I ordered the XL. I have big hands but, they fit within Storm's parameters for this glove. However when I set the cup setting to 4 or greater (it goes to 7), on the backswing, the top metal edge of the glove digs into the knuckles on my middle and ring finger. Into my third game, the pain caused me to stop using the glove altogether. Three days later, the joint of my middle finger is still sore to the touch.

I suspect that this has to do with the tapered top edge of this glove. In looking at pictures of the C2 and the Universal models, they seem to have longer top edges so, I would imagine that this wouldn't be a problem with those gloves.

Since I've used the glove, I can't return it so, I've chalked it up as a loss. In the meantime, I've purchased another glove by a different manufacturer.

Hopefully, my situation is unique. If not, they should address this in future versions of this product.
