It's my understanding (mostly through posts of Arne "Moebow" Moe) that the term "Deep Hook" is supposed to describe how much your fingers curl back (towards your elbow), and NOT how far on your finger you're placing the string. So, if you're already shooting with the string in the crease of the first knuckle, when you start using a "Deep Hook," you will still have the string in the first knuckle crease. You would just be concentrating on pointing your fingertips back more.
So, for the original post, the glove shouldn't affect that unless the leather is too stiff to bend at that knuckle. In which case, I would do as others have suggested and just work on conditioning the leather until it bends where ya want it to. Hope this helps somebody.
If I completely missed the point of either question, please, feel free to disregard everything that I have typed. :D
