Tube rhp popular in English indoor

Another interesting thing to pick up on for the indoor season so far is the preference for the tube style rhp for ground work and low to ground technique; with clearances and stick tackling easier with that sweeping motion and greater level of contact when diving etc. Although there is a bit of an even split in the men's premier division, there are a fair amount of goalkeepers making use of this style of glove. Filip Neusser (who wears the same rhp for outdoor play anyway!), along with Bowdon's Rob Turner, who has previously prefered the larger blocking surface of the hi rebound Obo rhp are some key wearers of this style of glove. Deakin playing for Sevenoaks (ex-EG) also prefers this style of glove for indoor and outdoor. Interestingly Maddie Hinch in the women's is using the larger hi rebound as mentioned, compared to her usual use of the hi control design.
