You wear them like Jacko... Gloves?

[Parmo]

Afternoon All,
I just wanted to find out what the golfing population wear and what works best, in winter I used a Srixon all weather one but there latest version is pretty poor and slides against the hand, I have also been using a Srixon Cabretta glove which is good for a fiver each but I have found the grip wears and smooths over after a round or two, for a fiver you can not complain.

So what do you wear and why? Also does cost come into it?

I currently use a (leather) Nike glove.

What I buy normally depends on whats on sale when I decide I need a new one. Also fit - I've got very long, thin fingers.

I didn't use a glove at all until last year however!

 

[Parmo]

Yeah that's something, I was buying Mediums (not the spirit type) and tried a small and its a little tight at first but fine... I am a grown man with little fat hands

Footjoy GTX - seem to fit best and last quite a while.

I saw some of them on EBay and was thinking of giving them ago, are they size like? I ask because I take a small Srixon and a med Nike.

I stopped wearing a glove a few months ago.Forgot once going to the range and havent worn one since.feel like i have alot more control,grip and feel

 

[OldWindy]

...(what) are they size like?

I fit a med mizuno but small FJ. Find that most will stretch so haven't bought too large.

Wilson leather ones from Costco. They fit my hand well, and last ok too. And cheap, let's not forget that.

I was once charged £10 at the local pro shop for a wilson that split after a hole!! but I have found this weekend that the local pro is more like the local el banditto in terms of gear.

I have just placed an order for 3 more srixon cabretta for £15 so we see how they go, they are decent for the price.

 

[USER1999]

I have used Wilson gloves for the last two or three years with no problems. I go through about 1 a month (more in summer), and have no complaints at all.
I find footjoy don't fit my hand at all (I also have long thin hands) and also don't last loong enough to justify the price. Never really tried any others.
Bought a rain glove the other day. Doesn't fit brilliantly, but it is probably still better than playing without in the rain. Maybe it will fit better when it is wet.

Cheap Dunlop fake-leather from Sports Direct.com - 2.99 each and they last forever.

I use a callaway warbird because i was given it. Cant complain, its a good glove, have used a nike one but didnt last long. Warbird one is a tough nut and they are only £13 for two

 

[HomerJSimpson]

My pro has just done me 3 leather Footjoy SciFlex for £25. Sadly it seems Footjoy aren't making them in different colours this yea so they are all black/white and small as I like a nice tight fit

yeah and you get a free stain on your hand.

 

[benny]

No you don't its just white plastic-y leather. Theres nowt wrong with them - they grip the club ace and doesnt lose its stickiness. Great for the rain too.

I use Callaway Ladies size small (I have dainty hands ), they are the only ladies glove other than mizuno that I can find that fit (the fingers are always too long), otherwise I have to buy junior gloves. I get my gloves trade price so only tend to pay £3/4 for my Callaway gloves.

I was only footjoy until Madandra recommended Mizuno exo-flex. Really like this glove....will probably stick with it.

I have taken your advice and ordered one and I will keept you informed.

I use an Inesis TD Tour Cabretta Leather glove. Because they are not really well known they only cost £6.00 and are up there with gloves 2-3 times the cost.

Always cabretta, footjoy at the moment but whatever make, it is vital that you get a good fit so that the club doesn't twist.
