A golf glove is key to maintaining your grip. Maintaining a solid grip on a golf club can be difficult. Between the motion of the swing and the impact of the club hitting the ball, it is easy for the club to slightly twist or shift. The slight slip or twist on your hand will change the alignment of the club face to the golf ball, often causing a slice or a hook. Wearing golf gloves can create a more stable grip and consequently a more stable swing.
Synthetic gloves are generally lightweight, breathable and stretch to conform to the hand. This allows a great range of motion. Synthetic gloves tend to be more durable than leather gloves. All-weather gloves are geared to those that often play in humid and wet conditions. They are generally made of a light synthetic material that actually grips better with more moisture. Most gloves, of all types, will have moisture-wicking properties, and will often have mesh on the back to allow more comfort and “breathability”.
