The finger tips of the left hand of a short track speed skaters glove is usually metal, plastic or a material named epoxy. This is because when they turn, they are trying to skate the fastest track pattern. The track pattern varies depending on the skaters position in the race and whether they want to make a pass. Becuase of the high speed and tight corner, a pivot may be needed to maintain the desired track pattern. There fore they put down their left hand (made possible by the natural lean of the skater) so that they can stay a little longer on their right (outside) foot to ensure they stay tight to the apex block (top puck on the corner) which they must skate past with their right foot for any track pattern. The tip has less resistance making it so that the skaters don't lose speed during a pivot. Also, the gloves are made from a cut proof material so that skaters will not get cut by blades.
