Golf Gloves
Selecting the proper golf glove is essential
to swinging the club properly. Without a solid grip
swinging it properly is almost impossible. Golf gloves
provide the needed friction against the grip to keep
it from slipping or twisting in your hand while striking
the ball.
Even the slightest twist during impact means the difference
between a dead on shot or being yards off target. Golf
gloves come in many different materials and colors. Selecting
the correct glove is covered in the next section.
Selecting The Correct Size
 Golf
gloves need to fit properly. A glove that is too
loose or tight will wear faster and provide less than
desirable results on the course. It's tough to blame
bad golf on a glove but a worn out glove is often the
reason for off target shots. When selecting a glove
have the Pro at the shop fit you. They know how a glove
should fit and once you've been properly sized you can
buy the next one on your own.
Climate And Glove Materials
Where you play makes a difference. Golfers playing
in Florida or some of the other warmer climates have
to consider sweat and moisture when purchasing
a glove. Buying a glove that doesn't hold up to moisture
well means you'll be replacing your gloves more often
than necessary.
Cabretta leather provides a softer feel, while
those made from
synthetic leather last longer because they are more
durable and resist moisture. Nothing beats a leather
glove but they come with a price tag. Make sure to replace
your glove when you notice it's torn or worn through.
Selecting a proper golf glove is very important
to playing well. We suggest you consult your local golf
shop and have yourself fitted by a Pro when you purchase
your next pair of gloves.
