Hate to sound like trailer trash, but I've seen quite a few Worrell teams with Home Depot work gloves. They're orange and rough. They cut the fingers down, and apparantly there are quite a few "converts" after the event.

I personally use the Obrien waterski gloves, not so much for the padding, but more for the fact that they have wraps around the wrist that work suprisingly well when you wrap the spin sheet around or on top of the strap. Helps even the load out on the top of your wrist... Odd, I know.

We use double ratchet blocks on our spin, and the girly crew has trouble trimming, but not holding... A set of cam cleats on the shrouds doesn't hurt to "take the load off" momentarily to give the hands a rest, too!
