I'm looking for a new glove, and hoping (but doubting) something exists that I'm not aware of. I've used the Allstar Gripstar forever. They last a decent amount of time before I chew through them, and they have great grippiness in the palm and fingers. But man are they bulky! I recently got some Carmimari "Boss" gloves, and really wanted to love them. The fit is fantastic, shaped like a hand, tight through the fingers, minimal padding. OK grippiness but not great.

My club has recently expressed interest in getting some patches so they can better represent our club at tournaments and such. What are some reputable vendors that you folks have used?

When drills are done, the impetus often seems to just be 'put up a quick pool sheet and run through as much as possible'. It would be nice to have a few alternatives that involve bouting but might be a little more fun. We've of course done team matches (when the numbers work), and King of the Hill type 'winner stays'.
