So today I went to a charity pinball tournament. Basically, I played non stop for about 3 hours on cement floors. After a while, I began to get this odd "hand fatigue" which I was not sure if it was from my hands supporting my body weight as I lean, or them just being crumpled around a machine for so many hours.
As I played longer and longer, the palms of my hands began to feel worn out... somehow. I had this thought that "if only I were wearing padded gloves" I would feel better. And then I thought "Who in the heck would wear gloves to play pinball?".
I asked some of the more experienced players around, and they quickly named off some top level IFPA players who in fact: use gloves. So that got me thinking...
Is it common to wear gloves while playing pinball? Does anyone here do it? What advice or stories related to glove pinball playing can you share with us?
Sorry in advance for the silly (but honest) topic. lol
