The Friction Gloves for Ultimate is full of great features; grip on the throwing fingers, reinforced upper palm for layouts, and added 4 way stretch at the crease of the thumb for maximum flexibility. 

• Added grip on the throwing fingers gives you more touch with the disc when throwing.

• Reinforced upper palms and double stitching greatly improves the durability of Frictions. The reinforced upper palms ease the sting of zippy throws in cold weather and protects against the harshness of layouts. 

• Redesigned thumb allows for much more mobility in the hand and eliminates 'webbing' when hand is fully open to receive a pass.
