Volleyball Setter Training Gloves - Perfect Training Aid to Teach Proper Setting Technique - No Flat Hands

I coach at a club and end up running a lot of the position camps during the summer/fall as well as coach a few teams. These have been helpful for my non-setter trained players with rough hands (liberos, right side hitters in the occasional bad pass from the setter to right side instead of to libero, etc.). It also even helped give one of my setters who started to struggle and lose her setting hands regain her confidence and start to get better again.

I don’t usually write reviews unless I’ve had an exceptionally good or extremely bad experience – and unfortunately, this review falls into the latter category. I purchased these volleyball gloves with the hope of getting a little extra grip, protection, and comfort during intense games. I read a few decent reviews and figured they’d do the job. But from the moment I opened the package, I realized I had made a mistake.First Impressions – Cheap Look and FeelRight out of the packaging, the gloves felt flimsy and poorly made. The material was thin, felt like dollar-store neoprene, and the stitching was inconsistent. There were loose threads, uneven seams, and some areas that looked like they were glued together in a rush rather than stitched properly. I could tell instantly that these weren’t built for performance, durability, or even basic functionality.Fit and Comfort – A Complete MissDespite choosing my size carefully based on the sizing chart provided, the fit was off. The gloves were oddly tight in the fingers but loose around the palms and wrist. There was no proper wrist support or adjustable strap, which made them feel unstable. During play, they shifted around so much that I had to keep adjusting them – which completely defeated the purpose of wearing them in the first place.Performance – Or Lack ThereofI wore them for two practice sessions. By the end of the first, I already noticed small tears forming between the fingers. The padding was practically nonexistent, offering no protection from the sting of hard passes or serves. In fact, the gloves made it worse – they were so poorly cushioned that they actually increased discomfort because of the added friction and awkward grip. The supposed "non-slip" surface wore off within minutes and became slick with even a little sweat, making them downright dangerous for ball control.Durability – Completely UnacceptableAfter two short sessions, these gloves were already falling apart. The stitching came undone, the fabric started to fray, and one of the fingers tore completely at the seam. I wasn’t playing beach volleyball on rough surfaces – this was just indoor play on a smooth court. There's no way these would last more than a week of regular use.Misleading Product DescriptionThe product listing claimed they were made for “competitive play,” “high durability,” and “premium material” – none of which were true. These gloves aren’t even suitable for light recreational use, let alone competitive volleyball. It’s incredibly disappointing that a product like this is even allowed to be sold with such misleading claims.Final Thoughts – Don't Waste Your MoneyIf you’re serious about volleyball and value your money, please do not buy these gloves. You’d be better off playing bare-handed than relying on these. I’m shocked at how low the quality is for the price I paid. I’ve bought far better quality gear from lesser-known brands at local stores. This was a huge waste of money and a bigger waste of time. I’ve since replaced them with a pair from a trusted brand, and the difference is night and day.I rarely leave such harsh reviews, but people need to know what they’re getting into. I hope this helps someone avoid the disappointment I went through.

These gloves I think helped me improve my setting skills

They seem to work real well. They were a little big on my daughter but not so much they fall off.

I like the concept of these gloves, and if my hands were bigger, or these were smaller I'd use them a lot more. But, they're pretty large and even when I velcro they as tight as I can they just don't fit nicely on my hands. It's unfortunate since the concept of using them is pretty simple that they're easy to practice with. Just wish they fit better.

Gloves fit nicely and work great for training.

My daughter was excited to get these for her birthday. She earned the setter position on her new school volleyball team & loves learning with these.

These work perfectly for my 14 year old daughter
