About Gloves

 

  • Gloves may be made of leather, synthetic material or a combination of the two.
  • Glove material will play a large role in how long the gloves last and how they need to be replaced.
  • Gloves that are higher-quality will last longer.
  • Synthetic materials tend to last longer than leather, but they don't breathe as well and may golfers prefer leather
Why wear a golf glove?
Why wear a golf glove?
  • The key reason to wear a golf glove is grip.
  • A golf glove is tackier than skin, particularly in hot weather, and will help to prevent the club form turning in a player's hand.
  • Gloves also help create more friction between the grip and the gloved hand.
  • Golfers with loose grips may find gloves useful.
When should you replace a glove?

 

  • Holes or tears in the material - it can happen after one round.
  • Worn grip - this defeats the purpose, time for a new pair.
  • Stains - obviously this doesn't affect performance, but why not look your best?
  • Mould or smelly - avoid this by not stuffing damp, sweaty gloves in your bag; let them air dry.
  • Poor fit - gloves can stretch out over time.
  • The material stiffens - this is a result of dirt, swat and mosture build-up.
