Why am I so ambivalent about golf gloves??

[Skytot]

Never used to wear one up until I had my new irons fitting in October. Pro/fitter recommend that I wear one , he said people tend to grip the club tighter when not wearing a glove

I always had leather gloves but then tried a Claw golf glove , no leather in sight. Performs really well tbh.

Since I changed my grips to Golf Pride CPX I don't wear a glove. No need.

I've got those grips, but I still wear a glove. Maybe I should stop. Loving the grips!

I use Zero Friction … long lasting gloves and pretty colours too!

I'm guessing you only buy 3rd and 4th from left, top row? ?

Nearly never wear a glove, never have. When it gets wet I do what I can for as long as I can to keep things dry and only put a glove on as a last resort, at which point my game just goes to pieces.

If and when my fingers get knackered I use a sports tape. There are times when I resemble a mummy.

Some excellent suggestions thanks.... I'm thinking funky colours ?

Another good thing about the zero Friction glove is the tee holder. Which (during practice only!) could be used to aid hand position at impact. I used to use a tee peg stuck inside a glove to help force my wrist to stay "locked" and not flick at the ball. This would stop the tee peg falling out.

I usually go cheap and cheerful as my tight club grip churns through gloves in no time. Currently using a Rife one i picked up in AG for £6-7 or so which has held up well despite being a little big. Been meaning to try the Kirkland gloves but too tight to pay for membership - need to remember to ask my mate to pick them up for me next time he goes

Zero friction?? I thought that the idea of a glove was, allegedly, to give more friction between hand and grip.

We're usually gifted enough gloves from a tour pro we know to last us a full season , 2nd hand ofcourse .

So called because they started with 3 and 4 prong tees which allegedly reduced friction. Sadly for them, as they branched out, their name maybe doesn't now work.

I use FJ Weathersof....I wait until I've opened my last one and look around for a deal on a 3 or 4 pack.
I'm not that hard on synthetic gloves but I can go through a leather one in a couple of rounds... don't ask, I dont know...
It goes on at the first tee and comes off after the 18th green...can't be having this on, off, on, off business..
It's what you're used to, I dare say I could play exactly the same shot glove or no glove....it's psychological.
And I wear my "Golfer's Glove" tan line with pride....

Are we related?

I literally mirror this with the only difference being the type of weathersofts. I keep around 1 or 2 “ in stock “,normally dark colours for the winter and white for April to sept.

I’m fussy in regards to which weather softs hence the stock. I only buy the ones Witt the traditional small popper style ball marker so always grab a few when I see them about.

Is this technically an on course training aid?

I like them as the cuff is just a little bit longer..just seem to fit and feel better

Imurg forgot to say he's praying you're not related! ? Fragger might be hoping you are, cos that'll stop him being the ugly brother! ?

You missed the bit in brackets! ??‍ Read it again more carefully!

I ordered these on Tuesday and they've arrived this morning. Three lefts and one right, for the first few holes on colder mornings.
They look and feel like they're good quality. A bit snug, but past experience tells me they'll stretch a bit within an hour of wearing them.

 

[IanM]

@RichA stretch, but will they split? Have you used this make before?

 

[Imurg]

I have and they didn't last long..
May just have been me but they weren't good
