How To Measure Hand For Goalie Gloves. Measure the area of the largest part of the palm without the thumb. As a guideline, we recommend no more than 1/2 inch of space between the tip of the goalie’s finger and the end of the finger stall in the catch glove.
Take that number and double it. This measurement will help approximate the correct size based on the accurate length. The length of your hand from the base of the palm to the tip of middle finger.
The glove is also considered to be too small if the bottom of the players palm is not covered by the palm material.
The length of your hand from the base of the palm to the tip of middle finger. Measure with a tape measure or ruler the length of the hand from tip of the middle finger to the end of the palm until the first crease of the wrist. Simply measure these two parts of your hand and then compare it with the goalie glove size chart of your brand choice. As a general rule, you measure your goalkeeping gloves from the tip of your middle finger and down to the bottom of your palm.
