About Cutters

Cutters is all about The Grip. Their construction is unstoppable, their design incredible and their technology unbeatable. Jeff Beraznik founded the Cutters brand in Canada during the 1990s, when a hand injury forced him to wear gloves. Not satisfied with any available football gloves on the market, he came across industrial gloves used by glass handlers and cutters. The gloves did the trick and led to years of research to develop the concept into high-performance sports gloves. This was the launching pad for Cutters in 1997. Cutters created the strongest, most consistent, ultra-durable and hero-making grip in the business. Pro, semi-pro, collegiate and high school football players know what Cutters is all about.

Different positions, different gloves

Receivers

Receivers handle the ball quite a bit during a game. A receiver cannot afford to mishandle the ball, so a glove that provides a strong grip is the best option. Lightweight, breathable material, like the C-TACK performance grip, is the best way to go. The perforated material ensures that moisture and slippage won't hinder the wearer.

Running backs

The running back demands a lot from their gloves, as they are playing a role that is very susceptible to fumbling the ball and causing a devastating turnover. Grip is a major priority in this role, so a good pair of running back gloves will have plenty of it. Padding on the back of the hand is very important to the running back too. Breaking through a defensive line will put the running back's hands at risk for broken fingers and hands.

Linemen

The lineman's' only tool is their hands, and they are under the constant threat of injuries. Linemen shouldn't skimp on protecting their most used asset, so finding the right gloves to support their role is crucial. Lineman gloves should be focused on supporting providing plenty of support and protection. A solid pair of lineman gloves will accomplish this by providing plenty of padding. Generally speaking, a lineman's gloves will be the bulkiest gloves on the football field, as thicker layers of padding are needed to protect the lineman's hands. A great pair of lineman gloves will offer plenty of tack to assist in gripping also. While it doesn't happen often, a lineman will catch an occasional fumble so it's best to have gloves that support ball handling.

Linebacker / Defensive back

LB's and DB's get down and dirty often. They hit hard and fast, and they put their hands at risk. Thick padding comes in handy (no pun intended) given all the impact they will face. Look for padding to avoid cuts or bruises that can prevent you from putting in 100% on every play. A strong wrist strap is also vital when they're pursuing a receiver. The aggressive defensive back will aim to interrupt every pass and put their wrists at risk, and a strong wrist strap will help to mitigate that risk.
