5 Tips to Help You Find the Best Golf Glove

Are you trying to find a way to improve your swing, while looking stylish? If so, then finding the best golf glove should be a top priority. Use the 5 tips here to learn what to look for and get that perfect fit.

If your golf game needs some major improving and quick, the first place to start is with your hands.

That's right. The glove, or lack thereof, that you have on your hand when you swing can majorly effect how well you play.

Not sure what to look for so you get the best glove for you? Don't worry. We've got the top 5 tips to use when shopping for your best golf glove.

1. Which Hand

The first thing you'll need to determine is which hand your glove will be on.

The hand that you'll be wearing your glove on will be the one that you lead with. Simply put, it's the hand that isn't your dominant. So if you're a left-handed golfer, your glove will go on your right hand.

Men typically only wear one glove, while most women will wear two. So make sure to read the packaging of the gloves you're interested in if they come with two gloves. Some will be a pair (left and right) while others will come with two for the same hand.

2. Glove Size

The good news? There are tons of glove sizes to choose from. The bad news? You've got tons of glove sizes to choose from.

It's important to choose the right glove size because having too big of a golf glove can cause blisters and create wrinkles on the actual glove. But having too small of a glove can mean that it doesn't last you more than a few games before it tears.

If you're uncertain about which category you'd fall under, try using this golf glove size chart. Keep in mind that your glove should feel like a second skin for the best result.

3. Material

Golf gloves can range in materials. Most will be made out of leather, synthetic material, or mesh/combination of all three materials.

• Leather tends to be the most luxurious option. They feel great, but over time tend to wear and even stretch. Leather gloves will need to be replaced more often, making them a pricey pick.
• Synthetic gloves will be more durable than leather, lasting you longer. But they won't be as breathable. They are a great option for the pro golfer on a budget.
• Hybrid gloves can be a combination of several different materials. Some may have parts that are leather and parts that are synthetic. Others may have mesh or elastic. Just remember, while they may be cheaper, they can get stiff after a long period of time.

4. All-Weather

If you mostly golf in wet or wintery weather, you may want to consider a glove that's all-weather. Or alternatively, take a relaxing vacation to our course or one of Hampton Golf's golf courses with beautiful weather.

Some gloves are made to withstand rain while others may be thicker to keep your hand warm in colder weather. If you're typically in one of these climates, an all-weather glove would be your best fit.

5. Closures

Before pulling the trigger on your best golf glove, check out the enclosure material.

Most golf gloves have a velcro strap that allows you to strap the glove on as loose or as tight as you please. In the event that a pair you're looking at doesn't have velcro, be sure to try the gloves on, as it won't have as many fit possibilities.
