I have the same in my New Sporting, teared lining and exposed latex where the thumb ends.
Yeah, I have been seeing that with New Sporting since back when they weren't that popular and as well with other Mexican Brands, so I don't really see it as anything major. I guess because it is harder(?) to line that area without bunching up liner material, so they tend not to. Bunching happens with my Cletos but then Cletos has a liner that is like a loose cloth that can tear from jamming your hands in there to hard. Not to mention, not something that breaks the glove for me. However, that's just me.
At the time when I recieved them after 4 months of waiting I was disappointed. The second pair I took for a friend from the stock gloves they have didn't have that issue.
I never buy customs from NS, so that lining defect doesn't bother me. Not to mention, their prices aren't too bad, so I didn't expect $160+ Cleto Reyes standards. However, if I were you and had to wait 4 months for a pair like that, I would be super pissed too, I totally get that.
I have another opinion about Infinitudes but gloves are really up to personal preference and everyone's different. You're not the guy online that claims that Infinitude feels exactly like Grants on YT right?
people who haven't tried a lot of gloves say all kinds of things like that, like Everlast Powerlocks are just like Winning or Sabas feels just like their Reyes etc blablabla, comparisons that don't hold water..Infinitude definitely aren't Grant but then if a dude has only owned even six or seven pairs of gloves and isn't particularly attentive, then they might end up thinking things like that just based on one aspect of the glove or fit
Personally, I don't like mexican gloves (I mean manufacturers): small volume, finger attached and shaped outside, too much power you should take to make fist... Not mine one
Every brand making by hand, this HANDCRAFTED words are nothing, because all gloves making the same way...
A lot of the Pakistani manufactures use an assembly line type process, with much less time devoted to each glove. Their output is typically about 10x that of their Mexican counterparts.
Like everyone supplier/manufacturer, everybody cut they gloves from teamplate and stitch it up from assembly parts. Mexicans, Pakistani, Japanese, Italians...
That’s a vast oversimplification. If that were the case, all gloves would basically be equal in quality. Why get Winnings when you can get Title gloves for 20 times less? I mean if they are made exactly the same, what’s the difference anyway?
