I have no idea. I sometimes don't have any gloves in the bag when it rains so thought these would be far better than nothing at all.

The brand name comes from a supposed innovation of the golf tee (one comes with each glove). The tee only touches the ball at three points rather than cupping it like a normal tee hence Zero Friction.

Should've called it Minimal Friction.
If the rain's that heavy I'd switch to wet gloves regardless of the make I was using. Not convinced the zero friction is going to give too much help in anything but a shower. Holding up well when I've used it at the range though

I got mine last weekend. Tried it for one round and initial impressions are good. I think it fits better than any glove I've had before. Don't like the tee holder though.

Used mine for the first time today.... it was a little big when I first put it on but I swear on my life it shrunk into a very good fit.... it'll definitely stay in the bag.
Also I LOVED the tee... that will also stay in play.

Have worn mine for two rounds and it is comfy although a little too large.

Loved the tee ?!
Ok I'll ask the obvious question - what difference did your tee make ?
How can a tee make any difference ?

Used mine today for the first time and it was really nice. Not as comfy as my Titleist Players, and I won't be switching, but definitely can't complain for free!
Mine starting to flake on the fingers now like Imurg's but it did take 5-6 range and practice sessions
How many balls on average per session?
Begs the question, how long do we expect our gloves to last, I see some people wearing some right manky gloves which are only good for the bin, no different to scuffed and cut balls, do we expect too much from some of the golf consumables we use?
80 per session tops
So 5-6 rounds of golf then, how much do we expect to get out of a normal glove before some wear & tear shows, if we said 5-6 then for a £9.99 glove that's less than £2 per round, that's less than most people pay for a ball but it comes across that we are looking for more from a glove than a ball!
I'm not knocking it and as a freebie it's a good glove. I think if I'd put it on use for normal rounds it'll last a fair amount of time. It's not a dig at the quality of the glove at all

Mine normally last a month to 6 weeks - so about 30 rounds
I wasn't saying you were, touchy!
I was just reversing your range work into rounds and then using the word "we" to ask in general what "we" all expect from a glove.
I'd get that paranoia looked into if I was you, people might start talking about you......:smirk:
Not touchy. Tired and irritable though. What about a cabretta. I use FJ CabrettaSOf and I tend to get at least 30-40 rounds out of it with ease. Not quite as thin as other cabretta which may help its longevity

I only missed 1 fairway with my driver using the new tee and hit 3 in the 275-290 range. What's not to like?
Ok I'm not naive enough to think it's down to the tee, I was being faceacous, but whatever works right?
I'm going to try the "Zero Friction" Cabretta glove, most all other brands I've tried rip or tear around the fleshy part of my hand below my little finger after a handful of rounds, with XL hands and that fleshy part is huge, its stretched in that area immediately!
No a problem I have as I take a small!
