[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugby_Guy, post: 29196"] Ok so during practice catching a wet ball I understood something. What happens is that bad players who can't catch usually tend to get it on the fingertips, where the gloves don't reach, so they don't get any extra grip if their hands don't wrap around the ball properly. now if you catch well, but the ball is wet, it's more of a challenge as the ball squirts loose like a bar of soap, so you actually need more grip in your palms, I might actually try chalk or magnesium powder, like what weightlifters use.
