One of the major features that determine the quality of the best pool gloves is the material used. You will often find that billiard gloves are made out of lycra or spandex. The material is comfortable but, most of all, super stretchy. Therefore, a lot of the gloves that come in universal size will be made out of lycra. Believe it or not, lycra can stretch up to several sizes and go from small to large in seconds. What's even better is that the fabric is less likely to tear than nylon. However, when it's combined with polyester or nylon, for instance, it can even be increased in elasticity, and that is a huge plus! The combination of the materials is super breathable as well and can collect moisture like a pro! It's firm and offers an excellent grip to those with sweaty hands.
