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”.

While gloves could be worn on both hands, typically they are worn on just one. If you are right- handed, you would want to wear a glove on your left hand. If you are left-handed, the glove should be worn on your right hand. Gloves should fit your hands well. Golf gloves are manufactured in a wide array of sizes, and as of yet, there is no proper “one size fits all”. Try on many types of gloves. It should feel as if you are not wearing a glove.

Golf gloves do more than look good. They help you get a firm grip on your golf club and that can only help your game. Choosing the right golf glove gets a little confusing.
