I was looking to pick up a new pair of gloves, but was hoping for some guidance. I tried out the QRL w/ the floating cuff and thought it was great. Unfortunately, it seems like every pro stock version has a different cuff that is fixed. Like this example: https://www.prostock...TgaAngAEALw_wcB

 

I then found the QR1 which also appears to have a fixed cuff, but is more expensive: https://www.prostock...QoaAjcHEALw_wcB

 

I thought the QRL was the top of the line glove from Warrior? What is the difference between the QR1 and the QRL? 

 

I then began to consider creating a custom glove through Warrior, but I'm guessing that will be expensive to get almost the same glove that's already out there. 

 

So I guess what I'm asking is what would push me to buy QR1 over QRL or visa versa? For those that have tried the floating cuff, did you wish it were fixed? Or pro stock owners, do you wish it had the floating cuff? 

 

Just trying to get more info on these gloves and my options. Thank you!!

IMO, the QRLs are shorter and wider than QR1s, which makes them more comfy than QR1s. But I don't like the floating cuff myself. Feeling restricted in floating cuff. I finally ended up with QRL3(almost the same construction with QRLs excpet for a fixed cuff) and I am very happy with my choice.

I have a bunch of QRL's with the floating cuff and I love them. I wear an Apple Watch to track my workouts and the cuff protects it perfectly.

FYI those QRLs on PSH are the cheaper QRL3 SMU gloves. The Anisimov ones are likely better quality. I flipped the ones I bought pretty quick because they were nothing like the floating cuff QRLs I had a while ago (which were very nice gloves).

Are they really? How do you know/how can you tell? It looks like their 'QRL' version also has a dual layer palm whereas the Anisimov ones do not.

I did the same. They are not full QRL

Well that seems pretty shady! How the hell is anyone supposed to know that if the description doesn't state it?!

 

Based on an IG post from last year, it appears as though they have offered QRL gloves with the flex cuff in Hawks colors before. Or is this also a reskinned QR3? I still don't know how to tell the difference.
