Has anyone ever had a glove rip in the palm?
Not wear through, but actually rip?
I was at the range yesterday, when I felt my grip on my palm. I looked down and there was a small tear in the glove. It was in the location where I usually wear through my gloves, but this was a brand new glove, and it wasn't a wear spot, it was a clean tear.
I decided to keep using it, but after two more swings, the size of the tear had tripled. I gently pulled on the tear to see just how fragile the leather was, and the entire palm ripped in a reverse C pattern - up to the bottom of the fingers, and down to the wrist elastic.
I'm guessing that the leather had a flaw and it was in the spot where I put the most friction on the glove, but I've never had that happen before. And even when I start to wear a hole in the glove, it has never ripped open like that.
Anyone else experience this?
