Buy some longer velcro and use shoegoo (it’s a glue that seems to be friendly with obo gear)

Maybe?

There are 2 ways to use the velcro on the TK RHP.
1: Around just the wrist. This has the advantage of a tighter fitting glove which gives directer control.
2: The velcro around the entire glove. This gives a more loose fit creating more movability in the wrist.
The latest versions of the TK 1.0 RHP (which Vogels is using) has a longer velcro strap to give the wearer the option to choose either.

If you have a short velcro strap you’re RHP is from an older batch. If you want a longer velcro strap you can either buy one at your local DIY or sewing supply store or use sports tape to get the same effect.
Think about what you like in your style of play. If it works using option 1 (which I use) just use that. But don’t be afraid to try something else. Just don’t choose something because some world class GK uses it, it must feel OK for your style of play.

i have the Tk GX1 pads and the strap is to short to go all the way around. I think the reason why vogel’s strap is different is that he probably has a Tk sponsorship so he can make alterations to the kit so suit him

I have a new set of TK GX1.0 gloves and there is a longer strap that comes with thepackage, a short one for a tight fit around the L glove and also a longer strip for a looser fit,
also on the right glove the velcro strap is exeptionaly long so a keeper can decide in which way to secure his or her hand.
the TK GX1.0 gloves are very ajustable, though personaly i preffer the OBO hi-rebound left and glove. mine broke and my club wont get me a new one :(

but good luck maybe writing TK will help ?

im wearing the gx 1.0 plus
but the right hand is nearly simular
i had a realy long velcro and just cutted is cause i put it just aroud the wrist which is i think the better option than put it all around the glove!

good luck to find the best 4 u!!

Please Note: We are not big on rules around OBO, in fact we have broken a few in our time. But please; keep it positive never negative, keep it helpful never personal and always show respect. Cheers Simon B
