Comments: Have also been using ektelon gloves for decades like other reviewers, much preferred the older version of Maxtack. Beyond feel, there has been a serious drop in quality control or something. Bought 6 XL Mens gloves and could not fit 3 of them on my hand (no, my hand has not changed size) even though packaging and gloves themselves were labeled as XL and made in Indonesia. Variance in size from same delivery makes me question level of quality control now going on. Beware...

Comments:Have used Maxtack for 15 plus years. Very durable, long lasting and great grip. Purchased 3 of the new version and it was like the buying a cheap $5.00 glove. Much thinner material and zero grip. threw them away. I would not recommend the new version. Still looking for a glove that has the durability and grip of the original Ektelon Maxtack

Comments: Amen! Amen! and Amen! The original, more gray version of the MaxTacks was WONDERFUL--the best glove I have had in 30 plus years of playing--great grip, incredibly durable and had NO issues with dye leaking onto my hand etc... . This new version is Garbage! Not nearly as tacky--not nearly as much grip--and after every match my right hand comes out completely black as the dye leaches out! Don't know what the thought process was here, but I'm looking for a new glove!

Comments: I loved the older version of the Maxtack glove. I used it for years, loved the tackiness and durability. This new version of the Maxtack uses a different leather, kangaroo leather, which feels much softer. It is not as tacky as the original nor does it feel as durable. After one game I noticed the palm of the glove had already developed an indention from the bottom of the racket. The glove also seemed to be larger than the older version. I also dislike the black color of these glove. The old version had a dark grey palm which did not leave black staining on my grips nor did it leave my hand black after play. I'm very particular about my gloves, and I really enjoyed the old Maxtacks. These new Maxtacks are not as good as the older version IMHO.
