Cutters
Cutters is a sports glove brand known for its C-TACK grip and widely used in American football gloves. AFG lists two of its adult models, which meet two very different needs. The Rev Pro 7.0 is a receiver glove with a perforated Air C-TACK palm, with slimmer fingers and a lighter back of the hand. The Force 6.0 is a lineman glove with a padded back of the hand, a C-TACK palm patch and a double wrist strap. Our product pages set out the sizes, materials and technologies Cutters publishes, with no in-house ratings or tests.

About Cutters
Cutters was founded in 1997 by Jeff Beraznik, a former wide receiver with the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees. After a hand injury forced him to wear gloves, he could not find a football glove that satisfied him and took inspiration from the industrial gloves used for handling and cutting glass. The brand was born in Canada, together with its C-TACK grip technology. In 2013 Cutters was acquired by Shock Doctor.
Cutters gloves in our catalogue
Both Cutters gloves on AFG rely on the same grip technology, C-TACK, but they are aimed at different players.
Rev Pro 7.0: the receiver glove

- machine washable and tumble-dryable.
Cutters states that it meets the SFIA specification for NFHS/NCAA play. Sizes S to 3XL.
Force 6.0: the lineman glove

Cutters intends it for offensive and defensive linemen. Sizes M to 3XL.
How to choose between the Rev Pro and the Force
Position decides almost everything. A receiver, tight end or defensive back is looking first for grip and fingertip feel: that is the job of the Rev Pro 7.0. A lineman needs to protect the back of the hand and keep the wrist supported in contact: that is what the Force 6.0 is for. For sizing, measure your hand and check the Cutters chart: it starts at S for the Rev Pro (hand of 17.8 to 18.4 cm) and at M for the Force (18.4 to 19 cm). Finally, look after the grip as the brand recommends to keep it tacky through the season.
