I shoot a Super glove, but since switching to three under I now get a big groove in the bottom finger.
Sometimes it hangs the string on release.
Looking for something I can 'feel' with but won't crease. Any ideas?
I was thinking calfhair?

American Leathers Big shot Elk glove is awesome, I would recommend it to anyone, a little pricey but I love mine
-
Big shot Buffalo! Great glove
-
E.W. Bateman's cordovan glove from The Nocking Point doesn't take a groove easily. It may be thicker than you're wanting as far as string feel, but if you're getting groove on the current one, I suspect you'd be able to feel the string with a Batemena glove.

I normally use a tab but when I lost it at a shoot recently a guy let me use his spare Duraglove. I ordered one and have been using it for a couple of weeks. Lets me feel the string but very little crease.

Damascus leather glove for me very thin, durable.. never hangs

Skookum, I switched from Super glove to this. I shoot three under too, had same problem. Has a smooth, soft, synthetic material on finger tips. No crease, but will wear out faster in long run. Virtually no break-in time. I love it.

big shot buff.i love mine.they are pricey,but they are worth every penny.very tough glove,steve

I just started using a Big Shot buffalo...I don't think those cordovan finger tabs will take a crease very easily.
-
i've tried several styles of gloves and tabs. i finally found the perfect fit for me is the "berlin deerskin glove". soft and flexible right out of the package. no break in time. protects my fingers and still allows me to feel the string.

I always seem to come back to the Kustom King Classic glove, which is pretty close in feel to the berlin. Wallyworld used to sell an identical glove by Fieldline. Could get them for about $6 after the season, wished I'd bought them out! I can't tolerate thick seams in the fingertips because I anchor on a tooth. American Leathers gloves are top quality, but I shoot three under and don't like bulky finger stalls that spread my fingers apart. I never could get used to cordovan tips because I couldn't "feel" the string. I love Damascus, but it's so thin my fingertips start going numb after a lot of shooting. I'd like to find another glove to try but everything seems to be a trade-off of something I like.

Grizzly Wolverine SS works better than any I have tried. I would like to try a bigshot. Those Damascus gloves are nice but they wear out awful quick.

3rivers DuraGlove----long wear; great string feel!
-
The Grizzly Wolverine SS and the 3Rivers DuraGlove are very similar, and both of them work extremely well. The fingers are slick, non-bulky, non-grooving and provide excellent string feel and release. They also hold up well to wear. They are the gloves I prefer to use. I have lots of different gloves and tabs, and many of them are very good, including those mentioned in this thread. Since the Grizzly and DuraGlove are reasonably priced, I would try one of those first to see if it works. If it is not exactly what you want, you still have a good backup glove and you have not spent the greater amount of money a Bigshot glove costs to decide the glove doesn't work for you. The Bigshot is a great glove, but not the one I shoot best with because of its bulk.

Stop using your 3rd finger.
