Overview
The Force 1000 is a dependable entry-to-mid level glove from Uhlsport, a brand with deep roots in goalkeeping. It uses a flat palm cut with a supportive wrist closure and a grippy latex palm that handles dry and lightly damp balls well.
Testers found the fit secure without feeling restrictive, and the backhand offers enough padding for routine saves and crosses. It is best suited to training and lower-intensity matches where durability and comfort matter more than elite-level grip.
Pros
- Comfortable fit right out of the bag
- Good durability for regular training
- Reliable grip in dry conditions
Cons
- Grip drops in heavy rain
- Less wrist support than pro models
A solid everyday glove for club keepers and academy backups.
