Golf Glove Information
and Suppliers
Many golfers believe golf gloves are an accessory and you
can play just as well without them as you would with them. Golf
gloves are a needed accessory for most golfers, and in most cases
only a single piece of glove is needed in the weaker hand to strengthen
the grip.
Right-hand golfers wear a left hand glove, southpaws wear the
golf glove on the right hand, and some ladies wear gloves on both
their hands. That is why you may choose to buy a single piece or
a pair depending on your grip. Lose your grip on the course, lose
control of your game, so spend the money on a good golf glove. It
is all about the grip.
The most common type of material for making a golf glove is leather.
The texture of the material is perfect for golf, because of it's
feel, and grip. Leather is also very moisture resistant and will
stay soft for a long time if treated properly. Over time it will
stretch so make sure it is a bit snug. If a leather golf glove
gets wet, it will dry and keep its shape.
Synthetic is a stretchy, extremely lightweight material that is
usually used for the smaller parts of a golf glove. The synthetic
pieces are mainly used to bridge the knuckles or offer more flexibility
in the joints of the fingers. Some gloves are 100% synthetic, but
grip is traded out for durability and breathability.
There are all-weather glove for wet or extremely humid conditions,
it is more water resistant than any other material and can offer
extended feel in moist conditions. The light synthetic material
will grip your hand the more it gets wet. Often covered in a thicker
material to keep your hand warm through colder conditions, it is
the best golf glove in the rain or sweaty humid conditions.
Many golfers today choose more than one style of golf gloves. When
choosing a golf glove one must take into consideration, feel, grip,
and durability. Don't have your golf partner telling you to
"get a grip"! Here are a few golf gloves
