I have always cut the tips out of my fingers. I first done it on a Damascus glove and it worked great. I love that glove except for the fact that it is so thin that it doesn't give much protection.
Another slight problem I have is that when I release the string I will sometimes get a rake across my fingertips that is pretty uncomfortable.
I guess like many I am still searching for the perfect glove. Those tips on tightening up a Hill glove sound like something I would want to try. I might order one of the basic gloves and see how that goes.
